Terri Wenkman was raised right here in Jefferson County, a registered nurse who has spent her whole life rooted in our community. She grew up in Jefferson, and she graduated from Jefferson High School.

Terri left home just long enough to earn her degree, then came right back to raise her own family in the town that raised her. She later returned to school a second time to become a Registered Nurse, and today she cares for patients every day nearby Oconomowoc — work that has taught her firsthand what families are up against when it comes to the cost and access to healthcare.

For over a decade, Terri has served on the Jefferson School Board because she believes strong local schools are the foundation of our kids' future and the backbone of a strong community. She's looking forward to bringing Jefferson and Dodge County values to Madison — and getting Rep. Penterman's Madison politics out.
