Polis is an interesting figure in the landscape of American politics. Colorado has done a lot of good in the last few years under his governance, such as the above example and ending qualified immunity for law enforcement in the state, which I believe was the first state to do so. On the other hand, he has several personal “pet peeve” issues that he carries, such as emboldening anti vaccine rhetoric (pre-COVID, Colorado had some of the lowest rates of vaccinated kindergarteners, back when anti vax was more of a liberal crunchy granola position) as well as supporting anti-homeless, pro real estate investment measures in cities such as Denver and Ft. Collins. He’s one of the wealthier state governors due to his earlier-career business ties, with some estimates of his net worth being around half a billion dollars.

Nonetheless, a win is a win and we should take what we get when it comes to policy that supports marginalized people. Polis is one to keep an eye on - I’m sure he’ll make a serious run for president at some point in the next 3 election cycles.

To illustrate a bit of what I mean on the above vaccine comment, here’s Polis glazing RFK just a few months ago about his help in “defeating vaccine mandates in Colorado”:

fell-for-it-again "Wow I can't believe RFK refused to allow me to import Canadian drugs and refused to allow any possibility of present or future drug cost caps!" -Jared Polis, like 2 weeks after this tweet.

He will receive a medal before he is thrown into the pit.
