"When I met Dr. Preston, she was a newly graduated master’s level Art Therapist. At the time she struck me as a dedicated clinician working with disadvantaged children and adolescents.  What was remarkable was the fact that she took a job many miles from her home despite the fact that she could have taken a job much closer.  As she gained experience, she made the decision to advance her clinical knowledge at the doctoral level. She did so to enable herself the ability to provide greater service to a larger population, including Military family members and personnel. 

When Dr. Preston began to see the country moving towards an authoritarian direction and away from democratic principles, she gathered her group of close knit friends and colleagues to discuss what could be done to protect and or strengthen our democracy... For Dr Preston, it was her decision to run for U.S. Congress.

As a member of Congress, she will be able to represent the people using her organizational skills as well as her highly developed communication ability. Her plan is to pursue, strengthen, and support democratic doctrine in defense of the American people.

Dr. Preston is in a unique position and has a unique understanding of what her constituents want and need to represent them as a member of congress. The skills she has gained from her education as an Art Therapist and Clinical Psychologist, in addition to the exposure to military families and community families, positions her in the best possible light to represent her constituency in an honest, no nonsense -straight forward fashion.  She has my full support and endorsement in her bid for the United States Congress.  

"I have known Jenna Preston for several years. Her compassion and genuine care for others is beautiful and stands out.  She is an excellent listener and communicator and truly seeks to leave people better than she found them.  Jenna has given many selfless hours of volunteer time to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), using her expertise as an art therapist to bring healing to hundreds of families grieving a military loss.  She is well-spoken, thoughtful, and kind, yet firm and strong in her convictions and passion for finding paths forward.  Her commitment to her community and investment in others truly makes the world a better place, and her leadership continues to inspire me."

"Dr. Preston served as a critical first point of contact in our mental health continuum of care, creating a clinically sound and welcoming environment where individuals felt safe seeking support. Those who met with her consistently reported improved symptoms and expressed gratitude for her compassionate, non-judgmental approach. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel heard and supported during their most vulnerable moments.

One of Dr. Preston's greatest strengths was her skilled assessment of risk combined with her deep personal approach to care. When someone needed additional support, she would often walk them directly to our clinic herself. This simple but profound act reduced the stigma around seeking help and demonstrated her genuine investment in each person's wellbeing. It wasn't about clinical protocols—it was about showing up for people in their moment of need.

As part of our interdisciplinary team, Dr. Preston provided essential clinical guidance, identified important trends affecting our community, and offered crucial backup support when our clinic faced high demand. She worked collaboratively with leadership and clinical staff to ensure our highest-acuity clients received seamless, coordinated care. Her ability to navigate complex clinical situations while maintaining strong working relationships across the team made her an invaluable colleague.

Beyond her clinical skills, Dr. Preston is deeply passionate about mental health care access for all. As both a colleague and friend, I've witnessed her unwavering commitment to advocacy—whether for her clients, her community, or causes she believes in. She approaches every challenge with compassion, integrity, and a genuine desire to help those who need support most.

The qualities Dr. Preston demonstrated in our work together—her ability to assess complex situations quickly, her hands-on approach to solving problems, her skill in reducing barriers to care, and her talent for building trust while advocating for vulnerable populations—are exactly what we need in Congress. She would bring both expertise and heart to represent the community in Washington.

"Jenna Preston is a friend and colleague I have known for 30 years when we met in graduate school.

She is one of those people that you instantly want to be friends with because when you speak with her, she truly listens and you feel seen. I have witnessed Jenna with clients, students, colleagues, friends, and strangers and she connects with each one and genuinely cares. 

This is what I am looking for in politics—for someone to see me, to listen deeply, to understand, and to be willing to fight for what we need, because she genuinely cares.

Jenna is one of the best humans I know—I am so proud of her!"

"As a psychologist, I worked with Jenna providing therapy services for police officers in Washington DC. Members of law enforcement often do not immediately or easily trust new people. I witnessed Jenna’s ability to build trust with her clients and develop strong therapy relationships. She displayed curiosity, authenticity, and competence as she provided effective, science-based counseling and created therapeutic connections with her clients."

"I first met Jenna when she contacted me by phone about a proposed vote in Douglas County that was aimed to destroy a legacy of Equestrian properties next to the Colorado Horse Park.

It didn’t take me long to see Jenna's passion for honesty and integrity and protecting a master plan community of 15 equestrian properties instead of the developers trying to rezone the land for over 100 non equestrian homes! This would undo Helen’s Legacy for this land!

Jenna let me know that her passion for Colorado has led her down the path of running for Congress! We need someone with Jenna’s passion, integrity and people skills representing  our state!

"My name is Jennifer Baldwin, and I’ve had the privilege of knowing Jenna Preston for more than 30 years. We first met in graduate school in Washington, DC while studying art therapy, and even then, Jenna stood out for her compassion, insight, and unwavering commitment to helping others heal.

For the past four years, Jenna and I have volunteered together with the Tragedy Assistance Program for Families of Military Loss, facilitating a supportive open art therapy studio for families grieving the loss of a loved one in military service. When I was first asked to help with this program, Jenna was the very first person I thought of. I knew the work would require someone with deep empathy, steadiness, and a genuine heart for service — and that is Jenna to her core.

I reached out to her immediately, and without hesitation she said yes. Not only did she agree to help, she believed wholeheartedly that we had to make it happen. That sense of purpose, that instinct to step forward rather than step back, is something I’ve seen in her time and time again.

In our work with TAPS, Jenna brings a calm, grounding presence that helps families feel safe and supported during some of the most painful moments of their lives. She listens fully, responds thoughtfully, and creates space for healing with both compassion and skill. Her dedication is not performative — it’s who she is.

I trust Jenna’s judgment because I’ve seen it in action. I respect her character because I’ve watched her live it every day. And I believe deeply in the positive impact she will continue to make, because she has already spent decades improving the lives of those around her.

That is why I am proud to support Jenna Preston. The same compassion, strength, and integrity she brings to her work with military families — and to every part of her life — will guide her in Congress."

"I had the pleasure of working with Jenna Preston at a child and adolescent treatment program at Snowden Hospital in north central Virginia where I served as Program Director.  Jenna was our art therapist and a valuable member of our treatment team.  She was highly respected by the staff and loved by the children.  Her opinion was valued everywhere in the hospital.

Included in her approach was a clear and solid sense of right and wrong from which everyone benefited.  Problem solving is one of her strengths.  Our country so needs leaders who exhibit the qualities that Jenna possesses.

Jenna you have my support!"
