Jared Polis for Congress

“When I had the opportunity to run for Congress, I decided that was the most effective way to focus on creating national change on the issues that the voters … and I care about,” Polis says.

At 32, Polis has the resume of a much older man. In addition to successfully creating and then selling an Internet service company in 1998 for a reported $22 million and the Blue Mountain Arts web site in 1999 for about $780 million, Polis also founded two education-based non-profits and served as chair of the Colorado state school board. He currently works as superintendent at New America School, which helps new immigrants ease into American educational systems.

He will resign from that job next month to focus on his campaign.

“I love all the things that I’ve been active with in life. I love starting new businesses, I love starting schools and the non-profit world, but I feel that a lot of the issues that our nation faces need to be tackled at the federal level,” he says.
