Jared Polis has served six years on the Colorado State Board of Education and seven years on the Colorado Democratic Party Executive Committee from 2000-2007. He is a succesful business man, a proven leader. With your help, he can become the next openly gay Democrat elected to Congress and be a powerful voice for our issues.

Equality Giving Endorsement Message on Jared Polis

Jared Polis is running for Congress in Colorado's 2nd district for the seat that will be vacated by Representative Mark Udall who is running for US Senate. If Polis wins, he would be the first openly gay man elected to Congress as a freshman.

Polis supports all the Equality Goals including marriage equality. We could count on Representative Polis voting for Employment Non-Discrimination, Hate Crimes, repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and any other pro-equality bills that would come his way.

Polis needs to win the Democratic primary in Colorado next year in August. The winner of the primary is likely to win the general in this heavily Democratic district that includes Boulder. While his opponents have strong credentials as well, Polis has out-fundraised them so far, indicating he has a great shot of winning. His fundraising must continue to be strong for him to remain competitive.

Polis is a successful entrepreneur and businessman, a proven community leader, a loyal Democrat and dedicated citizen. Additionally, Polis has been very active in improving education in Colorado and created the Jared Polis Foundation, founded the New America High School, and co-founded the Academy of Urban Learning in addition to serving on Colorado's State Board of Education for six years.

Please give what you can today to help Polis become just the 3rd openly gay politician in Congress, joining Representatives Tammy Baldwin and Barney Frank.
