Join Jefferson Humanists for our monthly program titled, Authenticity and Honesty Win: How Colorado's first trans State Representative won and continued to win with Colorado State Representative, Brianna Titone.
Representative Titone was elected in 2018 to represent House District 27 and is currently serving her final term in office. She has proudly served as the Chair and Vice Chair of the Joint Technology Committee, and as vice chair of Finance. In addition, over her tenure, she served on the Appropriations, Energy & Environment, Agriculture, Water, & Natural Resources, and Health & Insurance committees. She was elected as Co-Chair of the House Majority Caucus for the 74th General Assembly and as Co-Chair of the LGBTQ+ Caucus. She is the first openly transgender legislator in the Colorado General Assembly and the first transgender person in the nation to earn a peer-elected leadership position.
Representative Titone utilizes her background in geochemistry, software development, and LGBTQ+ advocacy to successfully navigate the nuances of difficult topics in technology, healthcare, and finance. She was a prime sponsor of Protections for accessing reproductive health care to protect and advance reproductive healthcare in Colorado. Titone has led on several transformational laws including three of the first or best Right to Repair laws, the first substantive AI regulation in the US. She is also known for her banning the gay and trans panic defense, human composting, and pioneering hydrogen energy policy.
This program is hosted by Jefferson Humanists, a chapter of the American Humanist Association.
