Jared Polis for Congress

Congressional candidate Jared Polis contended this week that he has a “strong” track record of fighting against school vouchers.

But Polis publicly backed a measure four years ago that was touted as the country’s largest school voucher bill and which eventually was signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Owens. The law was later struck down by the Colorado Supreme Court. Polis, one of three Democrats running in the 2nd Congressional District, said Wednesday that he did not support the final version of the bill.

“The bill evolved into a voucher bill … and I did not support it in its final form,” he said. “It was punitive and a mandatory bill requiring districts provide subsidies for private schools.”
