Colorado voters have elected Democrat Jared Polis as governor, making him the first openly gay man to win a U.S. governor’s race.

Polis, who raises two children with a partner, has been serving in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2009.

He made clear during his campaign that homosexual rights are an important issue to him and noted his record of either writing or working to pass legislation protecting homosexuals and those who identify as transgender.

Polis is the second openly LGBT person to be elected as a governor, following Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who identifies as bisexual. 

On election night, with the song “The Times They Are A-Changin’” playing the background, Polis took to the podium to thank his supporters. He also thanked his partner from the podium, who he noted is now the first “first man” in Colorado, while the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
