I am running for re-election because I have the experience, leadership and background that our state and county need in this time of uncertainty.  As a Rock Springs native, I am determined to continue to work hard to serve Sweetwater County and ensure that our portion of the state is not overlooked when funding is allocated.  With oil, gas and coal pressured by unrealistic and uncertain environmental requirements, I will work with local leaders to look for realistic ways to diversify our economy.  As a former member of both the State Tourism Board and our local Sweetwater County Tourism Board, I also recognize the lift and diversification tourism offers our state. 

My priorities include protecting liberty and personal freedom, limiting unnecessary government regulation and spending, requiring transparency, supporting victims of domestic violence, promoting equality for all people in our state, and ensuring access for hunting, fishing and other recreational uses. 

In the upcoming session, I will push the legislature to review what is essential to keep and what can realistically be cut. I've had to do this in my business, and do not think the government should be any different in planning for the future.

During recent emergency sessions of the legislature, I prioritized legislation that would allow Wyoming to re-open safely, such as including protections against frivolous lawsuits for businesses acting in good faith. In future work, my goal is to examine the cracks in our health care system exposed by this pandemic and push for broader insurance coverage and options for Wyoming citizens. 

I am proud to represent this county and ask for your vote in my re-election campaign.
