The coal, oil, and gas industries are the backbone of our great state and the beating heart of Campbell County’s economy. Our families have worked in these industries, built businesses around them, and depended on them for generations. I have a proven track record of supporting legislation that reduces state level regulations and lease restrictions on our legacy energy industries. Nuclear energy and data centers are coming to Wyoming whether Senate District 23 has a say in it or not. My job is to make sure we do. That means full transparency, real local input, and outcomes that serve our communities, not outside interests looking to exploit our land and our grid.

We have allowed government to grow so far beyond its original limits that our founding fathers would not recognize it. There is no case for increased taxes. We are taxed enough. The money that flows through Cheyenne is not the state’s money, it is yours, and every vote I cast reflects that. I don’t do pork. While sitting on the Appropriations Committee I helped craft a budget that came in well below the Governor’s proposed budget while still funding the essential roles of the state. I fought to give Wyoming homeowners a permanent 25% property tax cut and 50% relief for long term residents over 65. Government should not outgrow the rate of population or your pocketbooks. I have kept that promise and I intend to keep it in the Senate.

We have allowed government, state and federal, to grow so far beyond its original limits that our founding fathers would not recognize it. Wyoming is one of the last places in this country where the individual has not been completely buried under regulation, taxation, and bureaucratic interference. That is not an accident, and it requires constant defending. Campbell County has been the economic engine of this state for decades. Our energy industry, our ranchers, our small business owners, and our agricultural producers drive this state’s revenue and its identity. Wyoming’s Food Freedom Act, our property rights, and our individual sovereignty are not bargaining chips. They are the foundation of our way of life and I will protect them.

I believe marriage was created to be between one man and one woman, and that faith, family, and community are the foundation of everything worth protecting in this state. These are not political positions to me. They are how I was raised, how I am raising my children, and how I have tried to serve my community for over 20 years. Strong families build strong communities, and strong communities build a strong Wyoming. I will always fight to protect the rights of parents to raise their children according to their own values, free from government interference.

My position on the life of the unborn has never changed. Life begins at conception. I co-sponsored the Heartbeat Bill and have voted to protect the unborn at every opportunity. This is not a complicated question for me. Every life deserves protection, and I will continue to fight for that in the Wyoming Senate.

I helped pass raises for all Wyoming teachers, recalibrated the state’s education funding formula for the first time in 15 years, and expanded school choice so families have real options that fit their values. Parents, not the government, are the primary stakeholders in their children’s education, and I will always protect that right. On the life of the unborn, my position has never changed. Life begins at conception. I co-sponsored the Heartbeat Bill and have voted to protect the unborn at every opportunity.

Your land is yours. Your right to build a livelihood on it is yours. The government’s job is to protect that right, not to weaponize regulation, zoning, or political pressure against property owners and small businesses when it becomes convenient. Wyoming’s Food Freedom Act exists because we believe individuals have the right to produce and sell without being strangled by bureaucracy. I will fight any effort at any level of government to undermine those rights, and I will support legislation that keeps our small producers, our ranchers, and our landowners free to work their land on their own terms.

Government works for the people, not the other way around. Right now in Wyoming, a mayor can sign a secret NDA with a private developer to negotiate deals that affect your community and there is nothing illegal about it. State agency inspectors can interpret regulations however they choose, target businesses who speak up, and force small operators to spend months and tens of thousands of dollars fighting decisions that never should have been made. The inspector risks nothing. The small business owner risks everything. I will support legislation that fixes both of these problems. You deserve to know what your elected officials are doing, who they are doing it with, and why.

“…the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

It’s that simple! Yet we cannot ignore the machinations of the tyrants in DC and their desperate agenda to disarm the people. The last administration called gun violence a “public health crisis.” As the owner of a firearms and gunsmithing business I know what a hostile administration would do to your 2A rights and the owners of firearms establishments. As your representative I have fought to strengthen our Second Amendment here in Wyoming and will proactively guard against the assault on our rights, whether it’s from politicians, bureaucrats, or even public health officials.
