Jennifer Bacon

Jennifer Bacon represents House District 7 in Denver’s far northeast. She serves as Assistant Majority Leader for the House of Representatives and sits on the Judiciary and Education Committees.

As an educator, school administrator, lawyer, and community organizer, Jennifer has committed her career to advancing opportunities through education. From a young age, Jennifer’s family instilled in her the belief that education is freedom, and set her on a path to earn a JD from the College of William & Mary, a Master’s in Education from Florida International University, and Bachelor’s in Business Management from Tulane University.

Jennifer is a proud homeowner in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood. In the community, Jennifer commits her professional career and her personal time to advancing education and lives out her belief that the best decisions are those made by those most impacted. As an African American woman, Jennifer recognized from an early age her duty to fight for the success of disenfranchised communities. Despite their zip code, skin color, or aspirations in life, all people deserve the right to be free from oppression and live happy and prosperous lives. Because of this, Jennifer sought to educate in the classroom, build power with students and families as a lawyer and community organizer, and partner with neighbors as a school board member.

She is honored to serve and advocate for her community as the Colorado House Representative for District 7.
