Jennifer Horn (born 1964) was a two-time challenger for the New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district, winning the Republican nomination in 2008, and becoming the first woman nominated by the Republican Party in the state. She eventually lost to Paul Hodes in the general election. In 2010, she ran again and lost to Charles Bass in the Republican primary, by 25 points, 43% to 18%.

Horn presently resides in Nashua, New Hampshire, with her husband of 21 years, Bill and five children. Jennifer Horn attended The College of Saint Rose, in Albany, from 1982 to 1986, majoring in Communications. She did not complete her degree due to expulsion for reason that remain unclear.

Career

Horn worked for Blue Cross/Blue Shield from 1986 - 1990 as a liaison between physicians and the brokerage. She would assist her husband Bill in running his consulting firm, Management Technologies from 1990 to 1997. From 2002 to 2008, she was a feature columnist in the Lifestyles section with the Nashua Telegraph. From 2006 to 2008, she was the only radio talk show host who had to rent her own space at WSMN. She won the NHAB Golden Mic Awards for her feature on Bravo Company, which again was paid for by her. She presently writes for the NH Patch, those as of May 18, 2012 they stated she had plans to move on.

2008 congressional campaign

Horn won the Republican nomination for the NH 02 district, defeating Bob Clegg, 12,667 votes to 10,731 (40%-34%). Horn lost the general election for the NH 02 district, losing to Paul Hodes 188,332 - 138,222 (41%-56%). This came at a great personal cost with Horn closing her campaign with over $250,000 in debt.

2010 congressional campaign

Horn lost the Republican nomination for the NH 02 district to Charles Bass 18%-43%. Bass went on to win the seat. She constantly followed by her campaign debt from the previous race, and many have cited her debt as the reason she lost the primary bid for Congress.

Community service

The highlight of her volunteer work is the 2007 Spirit of Hope award which she won for the Chernobyl Children project. She has also worked with breast cancer support services, the NH YMCA and is a former member of the board of directors for Marguerite's Place.
