About

Gina received her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Communication, and her first Master’s Degree in Missouri, but ultimately her studies took her to SoCal where she studied Human Development for her second Master’s Degree, and Ph.D.  

She brings a unique approach to radio and media.  She and her husband John, a former State Senator, have been active in politics since before they were married.  

John ran and won his seat for State Representative in 1994 with Gina as his campaign manager.  While John was the candidate and politician, Gina, a social scientist, had the arm’s length perspective able to observe the players while hanging with them. 

“This is where I found myself screaming “WHAT were you thinking!’  Sometimes out loud, and sometimes to myself.  It is fascinating to me how some people can have such dead set views that are exactly opposite one another and both are certain they are right” Gina said.

Between homeschooling her children and participating on charitable boards, Gina built a marketing and media company.   “I enjoy advancing issues and causes, philanthropies, and people, especially people with great ideas or who are doing great things.”  Bill Hennessy called her a “cornerstone” of the St. Louis Tea Party.

 The Political “A” List offers people a fresh perspective as it challenges political players to step outside the box and Live Out Loud! ”Too many politicians today squeeze themselves into molds they don’t fit into, and frankly real people find them annoying, stuffy, and expensive.  But I see fresh hope on the horizon, somewhere between the layers of new media, the citizen journalist, and that grassroots (can you smell it in the air?) growing, there is real change brewing and I can’t wait!”

 ”So much of partisan politics is driven by caucuses and conformity.  It is rare and always refreshing to see people buck the system in courageous and creative ways.  These are the breakthrough moments that present average people with opportunities and access that they don’t typically enjoy.” 

The politicians, whether office holders or activists, who courageously throw open those closed doors and put everyday taxpayers first, are the Political “A” Listers that this is all about.
