When Jennifer was asked Why do you want to be the Swamp Buggy Queen, her reply was: "I feel that I can represent the Swamp Buggy Queen completely. Not only have I been a spectator, but I have also been a participant in the races for many years. I feel that I can expose others to the Swamp Buggy Races who might not otherwise be aware of this tradition. I can make the public aware of the benefits the Swamp Buggy races provide, for example; the great family entertainment. I feel I can make a positive impact on society by being a role model that can inspire men and women of all ages to make their dreams come true and support in what they beleive in. I want to show all people that any thing is possible if you make it happen. By supporting the Swamp Buggy race, I believe we can keep the tradition alive and strong today."
