Jennifer Bacon is a Democratic member of the Colorado House of Representatives representing District 7, which includes parts of Denver and the Denver International Airport. She assumed office in January 2021 and was selected to serve as the Assistant Majority Leader ahead of the 2023 legislative session. She also serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Education Committee.
Bacon is connected to Measure NN as a prime sponsor of Senate Bill 26-135, the 2026 legislation that referred the measure to the ballot. If approved, the measure would allow the state to retain and spend revenue above the state's existing revenue cap to fund K-12 public education. Bacon publicly stated that the bill gives voters the opportunity to decide whether school funding should grow alongside Colorado's economy rather than being constrained by the cap.
Before her election to the state legislature, Bacon worked as an educator and an attorney. Her professional background includes serving as the dean of students at the Denver School of Science and Technology, the managing director of Teach For America, and a director for Denver Public Schools.
