Board of Directors
There are currently ten positions on the LPEPC Board of Directors. An officer must be an LPEPC Contributing Member (i.e., registered Libertarian in El Paso County that pays yearly dues), affirm the LP Statement of Values and Non-initiation of Force (the “Pledge”), and serve until the end of the next annual convention. There are no term limits for officers.
Chairman of the Board
Rebekah Craig
Rebekah, a Colorado resident since 1992, was homeschooled until age 16 when she attended Arapahoe Community College to study for an Associate of Science in Biology. Married at 22 and a mother of three by 28, she lived in Fort Collins for over 30 years, choosing to stay home to raise her children until the youngest was in elementary school, she enjoyed tutoring in each of the schools and classrooms they attended. With a passion for the outdoors and nature, she volunteered extensively, building trails, racing, assisting at triathlon, mountain bike, and marathon events that she also competed in. Valuing personal discernment, independent thought, and critical thinking, she was registered as Independent until 2020 when she became disgusted in by the “Fauci Flu” scam, watching her community submit to tyrannical government overreach. Introduced to the Libertarian Party in 2020, she officially joined a tribe of independent thinkers by 2021 that felt like home and now chairs the Libertarian Party of El Paso County. Rebekah transitioned from a corporate Supply Chain career to becoming a certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health, focusing on equine therapy for combat veterans through gentling wild mustangs. Her hobbies include off-grid homesteading, “Liberty” style horsemanship, backpacking, off-roading, packing, archery, aviation, and restoring WWII planes and Jeeps at The National Museum of WWII Aviation, where she is learning welding techniques. Rebekah is thrilled to be part of an intentional and strategic effort to move the libertarian party forward by encouraging her team to think outside the box and try new strategies.

Vice Chair
Kurt Wildforster
Kurt has been a resident of El Paso County since 2020. He’s identified as libertarian since 2002 but has only registered with the party as of 2022. He has watched Democrats and Republicans lie us into wars for their own financial gain while our citizens at home suffer under the taxes and devaluation of our currency. Kurt believes that the government should never be outright trusted as even the most well-meaning government program often has long lasting negative consequences.
