Jessica Landman and her husband Dan have lived in Ward 1 for almost 30
years, and raised their two (now-grown) children here. They are lucky to have
both of their kids still nearby, as well as a 2 ½ year old grandson.
Jessica grew up in Montgomery County, and has lived and worked in the area
for much of her professional career. She has worked as a lawyer and an
environmental and natural resources policy advocate for nearly 40 years,
briefly in government and largely in the nonprofit sector, to secure a
sustainable supply of seafood and clean water for communities in the US and
around the world. At present she is a part time consultant in a MD-based
sustainability practice that is a Benefit Corporation (B-Corp), which is a form of
corporate governance pioneered by Maryland.
Before being elected to the City Council Jessica served on several City,
County and regional advisory bodies that focused on local urban planning and
pedestrian safety and equity issues. She also chaired several community-
sponsored public forums on budget and housing aimed at public education
and transparency.
Jessica holds a multidisciplinary B.A. from the University of Chicago, and a
law degree from Georgetown University. She is in two book clubs (one of them
for over 35 years), and is an avid walker, knitter and crossword puzzler.
