   How about the Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, renaming Mount Evans to   
   Mount Blue Sky because a White Anglo-Saxon territorial governor named   
   Evans was associated with the Sand Creek Massacre of the Arapaho Indians   
   in the 19th century while apparently supporting the removal of   
   protesters from a C.U. Boulder classroom for protesting the killing and   
   ethnic cleansing being waged by Netenyahoo, the IDF and Likud Party   
   against all Gazans. Polis was also silent per ICE deporting some   
   "pro-Palestinian" foreign exchange students in Colorado. He remains   
   silent per supplying weapons to Israel and Ukraine but signed a gun bill   
   in Colorado to essentially neuter our Second Amendment rights to   
   purchase guns to defend ourselves from the armed gangs imported by   
   Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas and Kamala Harris from Venezuela and Mexico   
   and welcomed by the Denver mayor.

   Jared Schutz Polis (/ˈpoʊlɪs/ POH-liss;[1] né Schutz; born May 12,   
   1975)[2] is an American politician and businessman serving as the 43rd   
   governor of Colorado since 2019. He served one term on the Colorado   
   State Board of Education from 2001 to 2007, and five terms as the United   
   States representative from Colorado's 2nd congressional district from   
   2009 to 2019. He was the only Democratic member of the libertarian   
   conservative Liberty Caucus,[3][4] and was the third-wealthiest member   
   of Congress, with an estimated net worth of $122.6 million.[5] He was   
   elected governor of Colorado in 2018 and reelected in 2022.   
      
   As an openly gay man, Polis has made history several times through his   
   electoral success. In 2008, he became the first openly gay man and   
   second openly LGBT person (after Tammy Baldwin) elected to Congress as a   
   non-incumbent.[6][7] In 2011, he became the first openly gay parent in   
   Congress.[8] In 2018, he became the first openly gay man and second   
   openly LGBT person (after Kate Brown) elected governor of a U.S.   
   state.[9][10] He is also the first Jewish person elected governor of   
   Colorado.[11] In 2021, he became the first governor in a same-sex   
   marriage.[12] In 2022, he became the first openly gay man and the first   
   governor in a same-sex marriage elected to a second term in office.[13]
