Hi John,

 

The Freethought Equality Fund has endorsed great candidates in Colorado including Megan Fossinger, Brianna Titone, and Jillian Freeland. Megan Fossinger (State House 27) is in a competitive Democratic primary on June 30 - the winner will take on a two-term Republican incumbent. Brianna Titone (State House 20) is a first-term incumbent who won her seat in 2018 with just a little over 400 votes - and she faces a very tough re-election campaign this year. Jillian Freeland is running against seven-term incumbent Republican Congressman, Doug Lamborn (R-5), who cheered Trump's attack on peaceful protesters to hold a Bible for a photo-op as an "incredibly powerful moment."

Meg Fossinger is running for the Colorado State House in District 20. As a social worker, she has worked with a number of vulnerable populations and understands the issues facing her community. Fossinger has also volunteered with a number of community organizations, including the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the American Red Cross. She has committed her adult life to serving her community and her campaign is focused on fighting for “Justice for All.” Her policy priorities include ensuring that our government systems are working for those who they are meant to serve, reforming the criminal justice system, protecting our environment, fighting for accessible and affordable health care for all, and ensuring that children throughout our community have equitable access to a quality education. Fossinger believes that religious beliefs are personal and values the separation of church and state.

 

Brianna Titone is running for re-election to the Colorado State House in District 27. A geologist and first-term legislator, Titone loves the open space and wants to preserve it by helping Colorado reach 100% renewable energy. She believes that “more people are needed in government that don’t just follow their agenda, but listen to their constituents and hear their concerns.” She is also passionate about developing smart transportation solutions, funding teachers and public schools fairly, attainable housing and a living wage, a single-payer healthcare system and addressing the opioid crisis, fighting for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, supporting veterans, better training for law enforcement officials, a worker’s right to organize, protecting reproductive rights, safeguarding net neutrality, common sense gun laws, campaign finance reform, and ending homelessness. Titone is spiritual but not religious.

 

Jillian Freeland is running for Congress in the Colorado 5th Congressional District. With a background as a midwife and the service industry, Freeland is a leader who will work tirelessly for her constituents to make sure they have the support and policies they need to succeed. This includes basic government programs and protections that make healthcare affordable, provides quality public education that is debt-free for families from pre-school to college or trade school, and ensures a minimum wage that actually covers the current cost living. As a “coupon clipping, solar-powered millennial mom of two gorgeous daughters” Freeland is committed to investing in the next generation by addressing climate change with energy independence through renewable resources, implementing universal background checks for all firearm sales and banning equipment like bump stocks and high capacity magazines, and supporting democratic reforms to make voting easier and reduce the influence of large donors and corporations. Freeland is a humanist.
