He represents District 11 which comprises a portion of the city of Biddeford in Southern Maine. Fecteau is the second youngest member of the legislature and the youngest openly gay state representative in the United States.[1] Speaker Sara Gideon (D-Freeport) appointed Fecteau as House Chairman of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research, and Economic Development in 2016.[2] PersonalRyan Fectau was born in Biddeford, Maine to Shara LaBrecque (remarried), a senior caregiver, and Marc Fecteau, a small business owner in the building industry. The Fecteau family moved to Biddeford in 1964 from Packington, Quebec. Fecteau's father was very young at the time of the move and remains a Canadian citizen to this day. His family made the move in order to earn a living in the Biddeford Textile Mills which comprised the economic engine of the Biddeford-Saco area at the time.[3] Fecteau's grandparents, father, aunt, and mother all worked in the textile mills at various points in time. Fecteau served on the Board of Directors for the Biddeford Mills Museum.[4] Fecteau is the oldest of two children in his family. He attended school in Saco, Maine until his family moved to Biddeford, Maine in 2005. He subsequently graduated from Biddeford High School in 2010 and The Catholic University of America in 2014. He has worked for a publishing company in Portland, ME and the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Auburn, ME. He currently operates two retail businesses in Ogunquit, ME. EducationDuring his time at The Catholic University of America, Fecteau became the first openly gay Speaker of the Student Association.[5] He joined a coalition of students, religious leaders, and professional staff in advocating for the official recognition of CUAllies, a student organization aimed at providing a safe and supportive network for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer students and their allies. His efforts failed when President John Garvey denied the request for official recognition.[6] However, Fecteau's efforts did lead to a "Community Pledge" which marked the first time an official Catholic University document used "sexual orientation" since administrators removed such language from its non-discrimination clause in 2006.[7] AwardsFecteau received the 2015 Youth Innovator of the Year award from The Trevor Project, a group focused on suicide prevention among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and queer youth, at their annual TrevorLIVE event at the Marriott Marquis in New York City on June 15, 2015.[8] In his speech at the event, Fecteau cited his coming out experience as having been supported by The Trevor Project's social networking website "TrevorSpace" which is a safe, moderated forum for young LGBT and questioning persons.[9][10] Election history{{Election box begin | title= State House election in Maine, 2014}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link||party = Democratic Party (United States) |candidate = Ryan Fecteau |votes = 2,475 |percentage = 64.2% |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Republican Party (United States) |candidate = Debi Davis |votes = 1,209 |percentage = 31.4% |change = }}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin | title= State House election in Maine, 2016}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link| |party = Democratic Party (United States) |candidate = Ryan Fecteau |votes = 3,185 |percentage = 67.9% |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Republican Party (United States) |candidate = Renee Morin |votes = 1,507 |percentage = 32.1% |change = }}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin | title= State House election in Maine, 2018}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link| |party = Democratic Party (United States) |candidate = Ryan Fecteau |votes = 2,391 |percentage = 60.5% |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Republican Party (United States) |candidate = Emily Rousseau |votes = 1,464 |percentage = 37% |change = }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.advocate.com/politics/election/2014/06/11/maine-could-make-history-gay-governor-youngest-out-legislator|title=Maine Could Make History With Gay Governor, Youngest Out Legislator|date=11 June 2014|website=Advocate.com|accessdate=13 August 2017}} {{Maine House of Representatives}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fecteau, Ryan}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://courier.mainelymediallc.com/news/2016-12-29/Community_News/Biddeford_official_named_chairman_of_the_House_of_.html|title=Biddeford official named chairman of the House of Representatives|website=Courier.mainelymediallc.com|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://blog.pfaw.org/category/states/maine |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2015-07-02 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703052759/http://blog.pfaw.org/category/states/maine |archivedate=2015-07-03 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.biddefordmillsmuseum.org/Biddeford-Mills_About.html|title=Biddeford Mills Museum |website=Biddefordmillsmuseum.org|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/12/19/catholic-university-again-declines-to-recognize-lgbt-group/|title=Catholic University declines to recognize LGBT student group|date=19 December 2012|website=Washingtonblade.com|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.metroweekly.com/2012/12/cuallies-rejected/|title=CUAllies Rejected - Metro Weekly|website=Metroweekly.com|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://publicaffairs.cua.edu/releases/2013/community-pledge.cfm|title=University Signs Community Pledge|website=Publicaffairs.cua.edu|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.trevorlive.org/youth-innovator-award-to-go-to-ryan-fecteau/|title=TrevorLIVE|website=Trevorlive.org|accessdate=13 August 2017|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703042428/http://www.trevorlive.org/youth-innovator-award-to-go-to-ryan-fecteau/|archivedate=3 July 2015|df=}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0fdamFwqyI|title=Rep.
