The Democratic state representative from Arvada was first elected to the legislature in 2018. She would be 2nd transgender statewide-elected official in US.
RTFA, she is a vice-chair of the House finance committee (and she might eventually have become chair if she weren't term-limited):
Titone was first elected to the legislature in 2018, becoming the first transgender member of the Colorado General Assembly. She is term-limited in the Colorado House, where she is vice chair of the House Finance Committee and chair of the Joint Technology Committee.
she also serves on the appropriations committee. a lot of her political involvement revolves around the handling of money currently, so i would say she has pretty "merit" case for being Treasurer
I never stated they had no merit. What I did state was that they should be endorsed based on their merit and not a headline pushing them because of their transition.
I'd be willing to bet that most trans would rather be known by their merit and not clouted in a headline based on their transition.
