Why I'm Running

Serving People, Not Politics

I am running for the Wyoming Senate because I believe the Big Horn Basin deserves a representative who listens first, researches thoroughly, and votes based on the needs of our communities. Our current political climate often prioritizes divisiveness over solutions. I am stepping up to be part of the solution.

Restoring Respect to the Legislature

Governance is about more than winning an argument; it is about delivering results for the people. I believe in a respectful legislature that honors different perspectives. We must be open-minded about finding the best path forward for the Big Horn Basin and the State of Wyoming. In a sparsely populated area like ours, collaboration is not just a strategy—it is a necessity.

Clear Priorities

When I am in Cheyenne, my hierarchy of service is simple:
  1. District 19: Families and businesses in Powell, Lovell, Greybull, and other communities.
  2. Big Horn Basin: Our shared regional interests and heritage.
  3. State of Wyoming: Keeping our state strong, independent, and fiscally sound.
I represent all people of District 19. Your voice matters to me, regardless of the issue.

Experience You Can Trust

During my previous State Senate term from 2019 to 2022, I learned that being a successful Senator requires doing the homework.
  • Research: I study the fine print of every bill to understand the long-term impact on our rights and our wallets.
  • Advocacy: I work with all legislators to ensure they understand the unique challenges we face in the Basin.
  • Independence: Working together does not mean giving up conservative principles. It means getting things done without sacrificing our values.

Keeping the Government Out of Your Life

I am a firm believer in local control. Decisions about our schools, our lands, and our families are best made by the people living in our communities, not by consultants in distant cities or bureaucrats in government offices. I will continue to fight for a limited government that respects your personal life and protects your constitutional freedoms.
