Jennifer McPherson

Jennifer McPherson's focus on education remains a primary driver of her platform, rooted in her previous campaigns for the Saint Paul Public School Board. She continues to emphasize addressing systemic issues—such as cultural miscommunications in school discipline—and improving neighborhood stability by connecting lower-income parents directly to local employment opportunities. Jennifer advocates for lower taxes for homeowners to relieve financial pressure on St. Paul families, aiming to counter the rising cost of living and make the local housing market more sustainable for everyday residents. Her platform balances community safety with explicit support for police accountability, focusing on transparent law enforcement practices that build trust and protect residents within urban neighborhoods. As a candidate who has been affiliated with the NAACP and other community groups, she places a strong emphasis on expanding Black representation in local governance to ensure diverse voices directly shape state policy.
