One priority for Councilmember Jennings is the safety of the residents in District 7. For his re-election campaign in 2018, the voter information website Voters Edge quoted him: “We all struggle with the notion of safety and security these days. [...] But together, we’re making progress in District 7, using the latest technology, working with neighborhood leaders and homeowner groups. Local newspapers, Next Door and other social media outlets enhance communication and information. [...] All this has brought crime down 10% below the five year average, and we are significantly safer than surrounding Districts. Thank you to the Sacramento Police Officers Association for its endorsement.” 


First elected: 2014


Alma maters: University of Maryland (bachelor’s degree, criminal justice)
