REPRO Gala 2025

Senator Jennifer B. Boysko represents the 38th Senate District in Northern Fairfax County. She currently serves on five Senate committees, Finance & Appropriations, Education & Health, Courts of Justice, Local Government, and Transportation where she previously served as chair. She chairs the Health Professions Subcommittee of the Senate Education and Health Committee and serves on a number of boards and commissions. She was elected to the Senate in 2019 in a special election. Prior to serving in the Senate of Virginia, Senator Boysko was elected to the House of Delegates in 2015 and served there for three years. Abortion care has consistently been the number one issue in all 10 of her elections. 

For four decades, Senator Boysko has been a relentless reproductive freedom advocate and activist. In Richmond, she has been a leader fighting to protect our right to reproductive freedom, patroning several bills throughout her tenure to protect access to contraception, abortion care, and other reproductive rights even when there were anti-reproductive rights majorities, including the Whole Woman’s Health Act in 2018 and the Virginia Human Rights Act; establishment of right to reproductive choice in 2019. In 2020, she received the Aggie Wolf Award. In the Virginia Senate, Senator Boysko has led the effort to keep Virginia the South’s only remaining safe-haven for legal abortions, including successfully spearheading the ongoing fight to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in Virginia to protect reproductive freedom.

Before being elected to the Virginia legislature, Senator Boysko served on the C4 board of REPRO Rising VA (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice VA).

Senator Boysko and her husband Glenn have lived in the Town of Herndon since 1996 where they raised their children Hannah and Sophie Claire and have recently welcomed their new daughter-in-law Caroline into their family. Senator Boysko is a graduate of Hollins University in Roanoke, VA, where in 1986, she helped organize a debate between Sarah Weddington and Phyllis Schlafly. Sarah Weddington won the debate – of course, and inspired Jennifer to be an activist for women and reproductive rights!
