JENNIFER WONNACOTT

I am a mom to two young boys. It was scary to have a child too young to fully vaccinate during a measles outbreak, which was part of the reason I support SB 277. With a background in politics and public relations, I help Vaccinate California with media and ensure the parents who support vaccines are heard.
