Profile: Jena price, Partner

Prior to the founding of TrattenPrice Consulting, Jena climbed the ranks of California politics quickly. At 25, she became the Legislative Director for the state’s oldest environmental organization, the Planning and Conservation League. She then went on to serve multiple nonprofits, providing strategic political counsel and advice to organizations across the state. Immediately prior to founding TrattenPrice, Jena served as the Legislative Director for the California League of Conservation Voters, where she advocated for a wide-ranging suite of environmental, environmental justice, and energy issues.

During this time, Jena played an integral role in passing SB 32 and AB 197, which successfully extended California’s landmark greenhouse gas reduction targets out to 2030 while recognizing the need to reduce localized pollution in unserved and underserved communities. She worked closely with statewide advocates to hold elected officials accountable on a wide range of issues, resulting in the close cooperation of leadership in accomplishing the coalition’s goals.

With an extensive policy background and years of experience in representing clients in the Capitol, Jena has become one of California’s most notable environmental advocates. Jena has been invited to be a part of numerous panels and conferences across the United States on issues ranging from energy and grid operations, from bioenergy to affordable housing, and from land use policy to environmental justice. Jena is the proud mother of twin daughters, Amelia and Elliot, is an avid biker, and can take you to get the best Old Fashioned in Sacramento.
