Jared W. Turner is a native of Tupelo, MS, and a 2007 graduate of the University of Mississippi.

Upon graduating in 2007, Jared took his first job in politics as the Political/Field Director for a statewide campaign. Since that time, the primary focus of his career has centered on political campaign management and organizing, non-profit fund development and compliance, and organizational management. He has had the opportunity to work through every level of our electoral process, from municipal to federal campaigns, non-partisan Judicial races, and issue advocacy. These combined experiences have enhanced his political and business acumen, and allowed him to open his consulting firm, Jefferson Stevens, LLC, and work across the state and nation.

Additionally, he has also served as a non-profit executive director and Board member of the state’s largest county economic development agency.

Although work takes up a large portion of Jared’s time, his favorite jobs include being a gym dad to his daughter Kaylen, soccer and baseball coach for his son, Ian, and partner to his wife of more than ten years, Sharonda.

Jared currently lives in Jackson, MS, where he is very active in his community through his church, social and civic engagement organizations, and family.
