Carla Roche, Campaign Manager:

Carla is a native of Colorado Springs , and a long-time resident of District #2. She is an honor graduate of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs , with a degree in Communications. She has been married for 12 years and is glad to make her home in this great community.

Carla has been a volunteer for the El Paso County Republicans during the Bush/Cheney '04 campaign, walking door-to-door with literature and absentee ballots. She most recently was the 5 th Congressional District Coordinator for the Marriage Amendment, working alongside fellow Coloradans who wanted to protect traditional marriage for generations to come. Dramatically exceeding our goal of 68,000 signatures, she helped get the marriage issue on the ballot for November, 2006. This finally culminated into the passage of Amendment 43, to the Colorado State Constitution.

Carla is very honored and excited to work alongside Amy Lathen to help her achieve the goal of obtaining the seat of County Commissioner . With her traditional values and leadership skills, she would be an asset to this seat that the people of District 2 deserve. Amy has devoted herself to the principles of conservatism and our founding fathers and is experienced and ready to serve. There is no better choice for the people of District 2!

Steve Hasbrouck

I was born in Waterloo , Iowa , November 4th,1947. I resided there until I joined the Navy in 1966 at age 18. I served aboard an aircraft carrier, the USS America and saw a tour in the Mediteranean Sea and a tour in the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. I came home in 1968 at age 20, my service completed. In 1969 I met my future wife Sandi. We were married in 1970 and moved to Colorado in 1971. We bought our first and only home in Colorado in 1972 and have lived there, at 1084 Western Dr. in Cimmarron Hills ever since. Sandi and I found that medically, we couldn't have children. So in 1980 we adopted a boy and in 1982 we adopted a girl from El Paso County Social Services. In February 2000 we lost our son in an auto accident. Our daughter and grand-daughter live in Sunnyvale , California .

Sandi and I have worn many hats in our lives. We have mastered many skills and owned several businesses, but what we care about most in life are family, friends, God and our country.

Reginald D. Perry, a 45-year-old retired disabled veteran, husband and father of three.

I grew up in Daytona where I attended Seabreeze Senior School and graduated in 1980. I later joined the Military.

My military career was in the tele-commununications field where I advanced rank at a rapid pace. I took a few college night courses throughout my career and received an Associates Degree in General Studies in 1994. I could not attend college full-time because of my work responsibilities, but the desire was present. During the Gulf War (Desert Storm), I received the Bronze Star Medal for my contributions to the First Calvary Division communication network. I retired in 2000 and moved to Colorado Springs , but could not find employment, so I went to work for Nortel Networks, Inc as a Senior Wireless Technician. For the next 18 months, I installed and commissioned wireless systems for AT&T on the west coast in the Seattle/Tacoma area.

Three years ago, after my son, Jonathan, was born, I took a downsizing layoff package in hopes of finding employment in the Colorado Springs area. Over the next six months, that opportunity never materialized, so I decided to return to school and utilize my Veterans Administration benefits. I was now in a position to fulfill my desire to continue pursuing my education.
