Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Stephen Varela, and I’m a battle-tested conservative running to represent Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. I’m running for the future of Colorado, and for the future of our nation. When I hear young people say they are not proud to be Americans, it breaks my heart. I want to stand for American greatness and common-sense conservative policies in Congress. That’s why I decided to run.
I’m a veteran, a family man, and a community activist. I served four years in the Army and four more in the Colorado Army National Guard (COARNG). My service included two deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in which I experienced plenty of active combat. My service gave me a tremendous appreciation and passion for our veterans. Upon completing my Army service, I took a position at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
While serving in the Colorado Army National Guard, I attended Colorado State University-Pueblo, and graduated with a Bachelors in Sociology and a minor in Chicano studies. I later obtained a Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California.
I’m a family man. I met my wife, Kayla, while jumping out of airplanes when we both served in the Army! Kayla and I are long-time residents of Southern Colorado. We live in Pueblo, where we raise our four children.
My passion for Colorado is reflected in my community engagement. I currently serve on the Colorado Board of Education, representing CD 3, and have used my position to advocate for education opportunity and choice. I also served on the Pueblo County Planning Commission and two early education boards – the Early Learning Ventures Policy Council and the East Side Childcare Center. Previously, I was elected to the board of one of Pueblo’s tremendous charter schools.
