ABOUT JAN
Wife, mother, Christ-follower,
community leader, and freedom-loving patriot.
Born in San Diego to a family of veterans, small business owners, and community leaders, I grew up with leadership in action. A first-generation college graduate, I am no stranger to hard work and adversity. After dedicating myself to my studies and working over 40 hours a week between several jobs, I graduated debt free from the University of Oregon with a BA in Spanish.
Jan will be the kind of leader Scottsdale needs. To be of the people, for the people.
In 1998 after hearing about its reputation of immense opportunity and prosperity with high wages and low cost of living, I chose to live and work in the beautiful state of Arizona.
Life threw a curveball when my first son, Trevor, was born prematurely. Those were challenging days, as I cared for Trevor while putting myself through law school. I graduated from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University as a Pedrick scholar and began my legal career at U-Haul International, Inc. in Downtown Phoenix.
Today, Jan is a nationally recognized
healthcare expert as seen on Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Cheddar, and OANN.
As a corporate executive, I worked as General Counsel and Chief Operations Officer for an insurance carrier where I made a name for myself as an outspoken leader against the disaster of government-run healthcare. I quickly became a leading healthcare advocate and nationally recognized expert, appearing on Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Cheddar, and OANN.
Concerned for my state and community, I volunteered as a poll watcher in 2020. Since then, I’ve become a fierce advocate for our community and ran for Arizona State Senate in 2022. I currently serve our district as Republican Precinct Committeeman and Captain of the Lane Precinct. In 2022, I was awarded “Outstanding Precinct Committeeman” by the Maricopa County Republican Committee.
I am committed to protecting Scottsdale and listening to the needs and concerns of Scottsdale residents.
As a Scottsdale resident, I am a proud graduate of the Scottsdale Citizen’s Government Academy, the Scottsdale Citizen’s Water Academy, and the Scottsdale Police Department Citizen’s Academy. And a member of the Scottsdale Unified School District Wellness Committee.
My husband and I have a blended family of five children ranging in age from 26-6 years old. We live in DC Ranch with our two youngest daughters.
A follower of Christ, Jan lives by the verse from Joshua 1:9,
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
