CODEL - U.S. Representative Jared Polis

RSS Home > codel > CODEL

I recently led a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) to Afghanistan and Iraq, to meet with our troops and highlight the struggle of the LGBT community in the Middle East. I created this webpage so that you can share in my experience and see for yourself how our men and women in uniform live and carry out their mission throughout the region.
