ST. MARY’S COUNTY, Md. — Today, Jennifer Clancy, a dedicated mother of five, licensed therapist, wife to an upstanding local sheriff, former public school counselor, and passionate advocate for education, healthcare, and community officially announces her candidacy for Maryland State Delegate 29A.
Jennifer grew up as a Navy kid, experiencing the strength and connectivity that shines throughout military communities, just like ours. From a young age, Jennifer learned the power of community, and is running to champion policies that prioritize families, expand access to mental health services, protect constitutional rights, and advance social justice for all.
“As a mother, a former small business owner, and a proud member of the northern St. Mary’s community, I’ve seen firsthand how strong we can be when we work together. We are living in a time where the need for equitable solutions and social justice has never been more urgent,” said Clancy. “I’m running for State Delegate because I believe in our Constitutional promise that all members of our community shall be afforded the rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
Background and Values:
Jennifer has spent her life in service to others. As a former doula, childbirth educator and midwife apprentice, and former public school educator/counselor, she learned the importance of compassionate, equitable care, and her work as a licensed trauma therapist has deepened her understanding of the mental health needs of families.
Beyond her compassion, Jennifer has put boots on the ground, serving as the former Chair of the Healthcare Committee for the Women of Action Charles County and was appointed to the Charles County Commission for Women as representative to their Legislative Committee. And in 2020, Jennifer went into action as a co-founder of the SOMD Mask Makers, working with volunteers to produce and donated over 4,500, 100% cotton washable face masks to first responders throughout Southern Maryland.
A Vision for Our Future:
While in office, Jennifer Clancy will prioritize the following key areas:
● Education for All: Committed to fully funding public education and library systems, providing equal opportunities for all students, and supporting our teachers who are the backbone of our future. Listening, learning and advocating for the various needs that our families bring to the table.
● Affordable Healthcare: Fighting for accessible and appropriate health and wellbeing services, with a pledge to advocate for increased access and maintained funding to support those vulnerable in our community.
● Our Community: Our Agriculture, Aquaculture, and Agritourism sets us apart from the rest! Supporting educational programming and advocacy for future funding initiatives will be a priority.
● Fair Tax Contributions: Supporting a tax system that ensures everyone contributes fairly , reducing the burden on working families and investing in public services that benefit everyone.
● Protection of Constitutional Rights: Defending the rights guaranteed by the Constitution, including freedoms of speech, equality under the law, and the right to live without fear of discrimination.
“This campaign is about making sure that every person has access to the opportunities and resources they deserve,” Clancy stated. “I grew up being taught to fight for American IDEALS (inclusivity, diversity, equity, accessibility, liberty, sustainability). Our ideals are how we ensure security, health, justice and wellbeing for all. When we work towards building our Community, we thrive.”
A Call to Action:
With an unwavering belief in the power of community and the importance of fighting for equity and justice, Jennifer Clancy invites voters to join her in creating a future where every person’s voice is heard, and every family has the chance to thrive. “This campaign isn’t about one person or one group. It’s about all of us coming together to build a stronger St. Mary’s that works for everyone, and where your voice and your choice is being heard in Annapolis.”

Thank you Jennifer Clancy for running to represent our community in Annapolis. I can see you are a builder and will fight for us to have the resources we need here in St. Mary’s to strengthen and uplift working families.
A vote for CLANCY is a vote for truth, integrity, justice and leadership!
Go to FriendsofJenniferClancy.com to learn more about Jen and what she stands for in this community.
Sure, just what we need , another liberal wannabe politician who cares more about select groups rather than the majority of the population that she wants to represent. If you vote for people like this don’t be surprised when your taxes go up and your 2nd amendment rights are constantly trying to be taken away.
Jennifer Clancy brings her experience and skills as a therapist, parent, community advocate, and dedicated public servant to a number of issues that Saint Mary’s citizens care deeply about. She will represent her district with a fresh perspective on health care, education, fairness in taxes and much more. She is just what is needed in the way of responsible leadership, integrity, and problem solving abilities.
Her platform is to tax people more??? We need someone who wants to spend less and make a responsible budget, not tax more!
Where does it say she wants to tax more people? And what an odd thing for a candidate to say if that’s what was she said.
Where did it say “tax people more” It said that everyone contributes fairly.
Another tax and spend liberal with nothing to offer but tax and spend.
Jennifer is devoted to serve all members of our community regardless of party affiliation.
Another bullsh*t artist
Finally a candidate I can get behind for my 29A
I’m sympathetic. After making a list of things that should be done + writing those who you think will budge, its time to take matters into your own hands, get a treasurer + go for it. Take your buttocks to Annapolis.
she has no chance whatsoever.
“Member of ACLU, Human Rights Campaign, NAACP”.
Why does it say if she’s a “D” or an “R”? With the above affiliation, she can’t have my vote.
I’m so excited to see that Jennifer Clancy is running in my district! She has come along at the perfect time; someone who has the background, skills, and commitment to listen to her constituents; who will work in cooperation with other House members to get the important legislative work done on our behalf! As a senior and a property owner, I have been so concerned as I watch Route 235 become inundated with non-local franchise businesses, while critical services like healthcare, education, and safety are sidelined. I believe Mrs. Clancy is the person with a genuine commitment to service, respect for the people who live in her district, and the right sense of what it’s going to take to make St. Mary’s County everything it can be for all of us.
Wonder why the article doesn’t mention her being a democrat? A giant no for me regardless of how good looking she is. Which is weird for a democrat.
Well, she clearly states she supports DEI, that’s a clear indication I will not support her!
