A Helping Hand: As the transient homeless population grows in Edmonds, Jenna believes that our city government must confront this humanitarian crisis with compassion. She will advocate for increased access to services for those who are sleeping outside and surviving on the margins of society. Jenna believes that everyone deserves a helping hand during the most difficult times of their lives. “As the child of immigrants who came here with nothing and worked their way up, I strongly believe in the dignity of work to better yourself. When people are given a helping hand, they can turn their lives around. I believe that Edmonds has a role to play in helping to alleviate our regional homelessness epidemic.”
