Jennifer Considine (born 11.VI.1709 AN) is a New Alexandrian politician and former public finance official. She has represented Santander in the Federal Assembly since 1749 AN and sits with the Federal Consensus Party (FCP). She serves as the party's spokesperson on economic and financial affairs and was among the authors of its 1751 AN proposal to cap bank concentration, a measure the government rejected at the time and which drew renewed attention during the PBS banking crisis.
Political positions
Considine is associated with the fiscal and managerial wing of the FCP rather than its reform-and-ethics wing. She has argued for tighter prudential rules on large banks, balanced regional budgets, and a larger role for municipal and regional governments in delivering services. She has been a frequent critic of what she calls "off-book" federal spending, and has pressed for fuller disclosure of contingent liabilities in the federal accounts.
She has kept some distance from the FCP's internal debate over whether to cooperate more closely with the Civic Governance Alliance, saying the party should be judged on the quality of its proposals rather than its alignments. She is a member of the board of the Canchasto Foundation, the FCP-aligned policy institute, where she has written on banking supervision and regional finance.
Personal life
Considine lives in Potosí. She married Philippe Considine, a civil engineer, in 1734 AN, and the couple have two children. She is a member of the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria.
