Lynette “Kilpatrick” Peppler – County Commissioner, District 3

Lynette “Kilpatrick” Peppler’s roots run deep in Weld County, where she grew up on her family’s dairy farm—a place that instilled in her the value of hard work and the importance of preserving the land that sustains us. A patriot at heart, Lynette proudly qualified as a marksman in the Marine Corps, a formative experience that solidified her lifelong commitment to upholding the rights and freedoms central to our nation’s identity.

After serving her country, Lynette’s dedication found a new focus at home. She embraced the challenging yet rewarding task of homeschooling her children for 21 years, embedding the fabric of their education with the threads of Biblical values, civic understanding, and a deep appreciation for American history. These years weren’t just about academic learning; they were about nurturing a sense of responsibility, integrity, and conservative ideals.

Now, with her children grown, her focus continues to be on the community of Weld County. She’s a natural teacher and a steadfast advocate, pouring her energy into supporting adults with disabilities and maintaining the traditional values that form the backbone of the county. In addition to her advocacy, Lynette uses her extensive experience as a CDL instructor to equip new drivers with the skills necessary for safe and responsible operation of school buses, transit vehicles, and large trucks. Her hands-on approach is evident, whether she’s engaging in local law enforcement volunteer work, teaching driving safety, or caring for her 98-year-old mother, ensuring the family farm continues to be a testament to resilience and a nurturing presence in the lives of future generations.
