The opportunity to endorse Amy Lathen for El Paso County Commissioner, District 2 gives me great pleasure.
Over the years, I have observed Amy in many capacities as a Party activist and tireless volunteer. Amy always brings high energy and dedication, along with strong fiscal and social conservative principles to whatever she sets out to accomplish.
My endorsements are not made easily. A candidate must have proven and unwavering commitment to traditional conservative ideals and must be one who will not have to be lobbied to do the right thing. He/she must be willing to take the right stands, even when they are not popular, i.e. to stand alone if necessary. I am convinced that Amy Lathen is that type of person. Please join me in providing strong support to her candidacy.

Senate District 9, Colorado Springs

Amy is a believer in liberty and a defender of the principles of limited government upon which this country was founded.
