Zach Swearingen
I was born and raised in Pueblo County, grew up west of City Park, moved to Pueblo West and attended Centennial High School. I graduated from CSU-Pueblo. Immediately following graduation I enlisted in the United States Navy and completed the grueling process of becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL. I held leadership positions the entire time I served in the SEAL Teams. Prior to my last deployment I met my wonderful wife Lexi. After I completed my last enlistment and received an honorable discharge we moved back to Pueblo County. Within a year of moving back to Pueblo and with the help of my wife and dad we started a successful small business. Since then I have started and run another successful small business. I served as the vice chair of the Pueblo County Planning Commission. Served on the boards for Pueblo Diversified Industries and Home of Heroes. I was also selected by elected leaders to serve on the Pueblo Means Business Taskforce and Pueblo City's disbursements of initial COVID-19 funding. I care deeply for this community and am very involved. I have extensive knowledge and experience in business, leadership, land use issues and public service. Of all the jobs and endeavors I have had, the most important by far is being a father to three beautiful young children. I want a better future for them and all children of this community. It is a major reason why I am running for this position.
