Meet Jen Tooker!
Though Jen Tooker – Westport mom of three – once dreamed of having 6 kids and of being a professional soccer player, she could not be more excited about running with Jim Marpe for the Board of Selectmen this November. After 22 years working for a reinsurance company and traveling the world (including London for 12 years!), she decided it was time to serve her community through public service – and she remains committed to doing so. When Jen is not on the campaign trail, she loves days with her family in their 20 foot wooden canoe, and being present for her kids – whenever they may need her. We were honored to talk to Jen, and are grateful for her passion and commitment to Westport!
