Here’s something you should know about Jennifer Fearing. Win or lose, she doesn’t back down – and she will always out-work the other side. Some people rely on PAC accounts and intimidation, but Jennifer uses her skill, creativity, and commitment to hard work to fight for her clients. Any possible pipeline to public opinion – she knows it, and is using it before you see it coming. I admire her persistence in a field that has a hard time wrapping their heads around someone like her.
