Marlene Jennings is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on November 10, 1951 in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. Marlene Jennings, PC (born on November 10 1951) is an ex- Canadian politician from Canada. She was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada in the House of Commons of Canada, and represented the riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grace–Lachine from 1997 to 2011.
Jennings is the very First Black female from Quebec to be elected to Parliament. Jennings was also among the few members of Parliament who had a physical handicap who became partially blind from an illness that struck her in the early part of 2010. She used visual aids as well as a white cane up to the end of the year. Seven surgical procedures later, she successfully brought her back to her normal vision.
Jennings succeeded Warren Allmand, the MP for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, in the reorganized riding of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine upon its creation in 1997. She was elected five times in the riding with consistent margins of between 10,000 and 20,000 votes, and her riding was considered one of the safest Liberal seats in the country. However, she fell to Quebec’s “orange wave” in the 2011 Canadian federal election, losing her seat to Isabelle Morin of the NDP.
Jennings was raised in Longueuil, Quebec. She was a lawyer and a senior public employee. She was the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee to Minister of International Cooperation and the former Parliamentary Secretary to the Solicitor General of Canada. From 2004 until Oct. 2005 she served as the Parliamentary Secretary of the Prime Minister, with a particular attention to Canada-U.S. relations.
