Tune in today to catch our latest episode where Jennifer Carnahan stops by. Jennifer, who already has an extensive career in politics on a National (including Chair of GOP) and State level, tells us why she decided to run for Nisswa Mayor.
To go along with her career in politics, Jennifer also discusses her marketing career which include stops at McDonald’s Corporate, General Mills and EcoLab. After working in “big business” she decided to open a business of her own, and after a couple of years in Minneapolis she decided to move her boutique, Primrose Park, to Nisswa.
Needless to say, Jennifer’s life had already been quite the journey, and obviously we couldn’t hit on everything during the show, so find out more about her online, or on her page!
Thanks Jenifer for joining the show 🎙️
