Nancy Jacobs (born October 27, 1951 in West Virginia) is a Maryland State Senator representing District 34. She now spends time in Florida and enjoys golf and tennis.
Jacobs attended Bridgeport High School in Bridgeport, West Virginia. After high school, she attended West Virginia University, where she graduated in 1973 with her B.S. in journalism and speech.
After college, she began her career at WSLS-TV in Roanoke, Virginia. She became the owner and operator of West Shore Indoor Tennis Club, Edgewood, Maryland where she worked until 1984. Then in 1985, Jacobs became the communications coordinator for the Maryland Concerned Women for America [1]. She was also a realtor from 1987 until 1991.
In 1994, incumbent Republican State Delegate David R. Craig decided to retire in order to run for a seat in the Maryland Senate. Jacobs ran and ranked first place with 23% of the vote. The other two candidates who won the district were incumbent Democrats Rose Mary Hatem Bonsack (23%) and Mary Louise Preis (22%). In 1998, she decided to retire after one term to run for a seat in the State Senate.
She was Minority Deputy Whip from 1997 until 1999.
Nancy Jacobs was first elected to the Maryland State Senate in 1999 to represent District 34, which covers portions of Harford and Cecil County, Maryland. In 1998, she won the seat vacated by fellow Republican David R. Craig, who was the State Senator for District 34 for only 4 years. Jacobs won a close election against Democratic challenger and former fellow Delegate Mary Louise Preis, whom she only defeated by 139 votes out of over 37,000 votes cast.
