Democratic voters in Colorado's second congressional district are set to elect an openly gay congressman.
Jared Polis, a 33 year-old businessman, won the primary to succeed Mark Udall, who gave up the seat to run for the Senate.
Polis made a fortune as one of the founders of Blue Mountain Cards, and is a member of the state board of education.
“I think this sends a signal to young gays and lesbians across the country that they can consider a career in public service and they shouldn’t be scared away from that merely because of their sexual orientation,” said Mr. Polis, who introduced his partner, Marlon Reis, during a raucous victory party on Tuesday night.
