WHERE I COME FROM
Jennifer Kranz is a dedicated community advocate with a passion for public service. Her journey in Niagara Falls began in 2008 when her parents (both retired teachers) purchased a B&B along the Niagara Parkway. She helped run the business for years with her sister before it was sold to another family. During this time Jennifer began developing a deep connection to both the city and its residents, as well as tourists from across the globe. Both of her young daughters were later born at the Marotta Family Hospital. She considers motherhood her most challenging, yet also her most rewarding duty. She will always do everything she can to help create a world worthy of our children. In holding herself accountable for her choices, Jennifer overcame considerable adversity. She now strongly feels that it is her responsibility to use her many skills, experiences and gifts in service of our shared society. Jennifer is living proof that when we choose to transform pain into purpose, beautiful things happen.
A COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE
Jennifer Kranz has dedicated her career to serving the community, advocating for positive change, and fostering a sense of unity. She recognizes that without the foundation of safety (both physical and psychological) we cannot thrive. When we are safe to fail with dignity, we build--we create, we take chances to grow and go places we have never gone before. When every citizen of Niagara Falls knows that they matter and that they can contribute in many ways, big or small, to our mutual well being, we create a sense of community that inspires. Jennifer is currently employed by Niagara Casinos but spent the first 16 years of her career with TD Bank. Her volunteer experience spans decades and focuses around supporting children and victims of crime, fundraising, finance and leadership. She is also an Author and proud founder of her wellness business, Elevated Energy. Her vision includes the application of both intuition and logic, in the hopes that these will reveal to residents the strengths that exist within themselves, so we can realize the full potential of our world-renowned City. A lover of humanity, and philosophy rooted in facts, Jennifer applies careful research before taking measurable actions.
MISSION STATEMENT
Leadership that Creates. Safety that Unites.

Her approach is centered around promoting equality, fostering opportunities, and prioritizing safety as the foundation for a thriving city. For Niagara Falls to achieve its highest potential, we must be willing to hold others, and ourselves, accountable. Effective change happens when we respect the traditions and the progress made by those who came before us, but build upon their example with consideration for the critical issues and strengths of modern day Niagara Falls residents.
