Jared Schutz Polis (/ˈpoʊlɪs/; born May 12, 1975)[1] is an American politician, businessman, and philanthropist serving as the 43rd governor of Colorado since 2019.
Polis served one term on the Colorado State Board of Education from 2001 to 2007, and five terms as the United States representative from Colorado's 2nd congressional district from 2009 to 2019. A libertarian Democrat, he was the only Democratic member of the Liberty Caucus. He was elected governor of Colorado in 2018 and reelected in a landslide in 2022. As an openly gay man, Polis has made history several times through his electoral success. He became the first non-incumbent openly gay man elected to Congress in 2008,[2][3] and the first openly gay parent in Congress in 2011.[4] In 2018, he became the first openly gay man and second openly LGBT person (after Kate Brown) elected governor of a U.S. state.[5][6] He is also the first Jewish person elected governor of Colorado.[7] In 2021, he became the first U.S. governor in a same-sex marriage.[8] In 2022, he became the first openly gay man and the first U.S. governor in a same-sex marriage to be reelected.[9]
