Hi, I'm Jillaire McMillan
Candidate for Colorado House District 19
Committed volunteer for neighborhood schools
Small business owner
Active community member engaging with neighbors across the political spectrum
A lifetime of public service
I was raised in the western United States, and nearly nine years ago my family moved to Weld County. Everywhere I've lived, I have served and cheered alongside my friends and community members on PTA boards, bond measure phone banks, soccer game sidelines, and church assignments – sometimes choosing my cohorts and sometimes being assigned to get along and get to work with people I didn’t know well.
I earned bachelors and masters degrees from Boston College in American History. My college education instilled in me a love for our country's history and a commitment to make things even better.
I’ve spent most of the last 23 years as a stay-at-home mom. As my four children began entering school, I became an avid school volunteer, eventually becoming the president of the elementary school PTA, middle school PTO, and high school education foundation. My commitment to our neighborhood schools has been at the heart of my public service.

I’ve been a leader in my church congregations, managing large-scale service projects, organizing summer camps for teenagers, overseeing teaching, and managing teams of other volunteers.
Six and a half years ago, my husband and I started a small business here in Weld County. I manage the human resources and financial side of the company, researching new software and systems and interfacing with state agencies.
Over the last eight years I’ve been actively engaged in nonpartisan political advocacy – arguing against tax cuts for the rich, calling on elected officials to support children, and speaking up for the integrity of our election process.
These experiences have taught me to communicate respectfully with community members across the political spectrum, productively find solutions, and work together to build a brighter future for our kids and grandkids.
