Education
-
Weber State College, BS
Lynn Jenkins was born in Topeka but raised on a dairy farm near Holton (and still retains some of her farming skills, as demonstrated during a recent goat-milking contest at the Shawnee County Fair). She has since returned to Topeka where she now lives. She received a bachelor's degree from Weber State College in 1983.
After she left college in 1985, she became a certified public accountant, something she's pointed to repeatedly in past campaigns, even her race for Congress.
She served a single term in the Kansas House before being elected to the Senate in 2000. However, she didn't finish her term there because she ran successfully for state treasurer in 2002. Voters re-elected her in 2006.
Jenkins and her husband, Scott, have two children.
