Jennifer Veiga is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 10, 1962 in Long Beach, United States. Jennifer L. Veiga (born October 10, 1962) is a former American attorney and politician from Colorado. Veiga is a former Democrat member of Colorado House of Representatives and member of Colorado’s 31st Senate district, covering downtown and north-central Denver.
In July 2003, she was named by a Vacancy Committee to the 31st District seat in the Colorado Senate following the resignation of Doug Linkhart. She ran unopposed for election to the Senate seat in November 2004 and won re-election in 2008. She served as Chairman of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
A lesbian, she came out publicly in August 2002 and is the first ever openly gay person to serve in the Colorado legislature. As a representative and then as a senator, Veiga introduced legislation every year to ban employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, at first with little success. In 2005 and then in 2006, Veiga’s non-discrimination bill was passed by the legislature, but vetoed by Gov. Bill Owens; in 2007, however, the bill was signed into law by Gov. Bill Ritter. At the time of her retirement, she was one of three openly gay members of the legislature, serving alongside representatives Mark Ferrandino (D-Denver) and Sue Schafer (D-Wheat Ridge).
