Wendy Stanley Jones Wendy Stanley Jones has been a political activist on the Seacoast for over 15 years. And, she is just as proud of her role as a wife, mother, grandmother and pediatric nurse. Wendy was drawn to politics in 1991, because of a retirement facility attempting to change her neighborhoods zoning regulations. Since then, she has served as an Exeter Selectman – giving her the distinction of being only the fourth woman elected to this position in the town’s 350 year history. Additionally, she has been elected and appointed to various Rockingham County Republican Committee positions and Strafford County Republican Committee positions. She also was elected Exeter Town Republican Chair and was appointed by Senator John E. Sununu's Exeter Town Chair from his first primary as a Congressman. Upon relocating to Durham, Wendy was determined to remain politically active. She is a member of President George W. Bush’s Steering Committee for New Hampshire, Co-Chair of his Strafford County Steering Committee and National Chair for “W Stands for Women”. She also volunteers for Durham’s Republican Town Committee. In 2003, Wendy sensed the growing need to mentor more women in the political process. As a result, she co-founded the Vesta Roy Excellence in Public Service Series. This highly regarded, national program seeks to increase the number of Republican women elected or appointed to government positions at the local, state and national levels. Wendy is a graduate of Eastern Maine Vocational Technical Institute and the University of Maine. Away from politics, she works per diem as a school nurse and has been involved in Special Education issues for three decades. She is a certified color consultant, a member of the Exeter Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Junior League. She is an incorporator for a mission society and a local church. She enjoys reading, gardening, boating, and various crafts. Wendy and her husband Turner have two grown children – Christopher and Ivey as well as a grandson, John Turner, whose visits they always look forward to. |
