Pam Bennett Running For City Council Seat

After four years of living her life as a woman, Pam Bennett will be Aurora's first transgender woman to run for City Council.

Bennett told the Aurora Sentinel and Daily Sun that her campaign strategy is openness, and that she believes voters will accept her unique biography once they understand her vision for Aurora's future.

Bennett is an Air Force veteran who began hormone replacement therapy in 2003 as part of the process of changing from a man to a woman, though she has not had sex-reassignment surgery.
