Gregory Matthew Lauer joined the Libertarian Party in January 2021 and became a volunteer for the Historical Preservation Committee in April 2021. He currently lives in Fountain, CO.
Greg was born in Portsmouth, VA and became interested in current events and politics at a young age, even doing some volunteer work for the 1980 Reagan presidential campaign. Since then, he has served in the military (Army, April 1990 - December 1992), worked as a defense contractor, and dabbled in several small businesses in California, New Mexico, and Colorado.
In 2013, he was elected to the City of Fountain, CO city council, serving as a Council Member at Large, defeating a popular incumbent by a margin of eight votes. In 2017, he was unopposed in seeking a second term and in 2019, was selected by the other members of council to be the Mayor Pro Tem. He is term-limited in November 2021 and is considering running for other elected offices.
Although a long-time libertarian, he has been registered variously as a Republican, an Independent, or Unaffiliated. In January 2021, he registered as a Libertarian and formally joined the Libertarian Party and the Mises Caucus.
