Jenna Ellis Parents: Meet Valerie and Dave Ellis

Jenna Ellis is an American attorney, conservative commentator, and political activist. She is the daughter of Dave Ellis and Valerie.

Her father Dave Ellis is a senior program manager for an aerospace company. Details about her mother is not public knowledge.

Jenna and her siblings were homeschooled by their parents. She enrolled at Cedarville University in 2003, then moved to Colorado State University to pursue journalism.

She graduated with honours from the University of Richmond School of Law in 2011. One of her brothers works as a design architect for an aerospace company in Colorado and, like Jenna, has many degrees and is pursuing a PhD in strategic management.

Her younger brother graduated from homeschool high school and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in aircraft maintenance and management.

Jenna Lynn Ellis is well-known for her work on Donald Trump’s legal team. She previously worked as a deputy district attorney in Weld County, Colorado.

Ellis has positioned herself as a “constitutional law attorney” throughout cable news appearances since 2018, despite The New York Times reporting that her background did not indicate such knowledge and The Wall Street Journal reporting that she had no history in any federal cases. Trump hired Ellis as a senior legal adviser in November 2019.
