I’m a conservative grounded in limited but effective government, local control, individual responsibility, and protecting the rights of the people I represent.

Government’s job is to do a few essential things – and do them well:

• Protect rights and uphold the law
• Maintain the basic systems communities rely on
• Use taxpayer dollars responsibly
• Create the conditions for people to work, build, and succeed

It is not there to control people’s lives or chase political agendas.

Getting that right requires understanding what’s actually happening on the ground and making decisions based on real conditions – not ideology.

That’s how I’ll approach this role.

I’ve spent my career helping communities work through complex issues – bringing people together, understanding tradeoffs, and focusing on outcomes that hold up in practice.

In my experience, Wyoming works best when people know they have a place here, their voice matters, and their effort is rewarded. That’s what I will work toward.

Wyoming’s economy should build on the industries that have sustained us while creating the conditions for new opportunity. That means supporting energy, agriculture, tourism, and small business, while also making it easier for people to invest, start businesses, and grow.

For most people, this comes down to something simple; can you find a good job, support your family, and plan for the future?

In many parts of Wyoming, that is getting harder. Costs are rising, workforce shortages are real, and too many communities are working to hold on to the jobs and people they already have.

We need to support the industries that drive our economy today, while also making sure we are creating opportunities for the next generation. That includes workforce development, practical training, and making sure people have the skills to step into available jobs.

I want Wyoming to be a place where people can build a life, support a family, and see a future for themselves and their kids. Growth should strengthen our communities, not erode their character.

Energy and natural resource development, especially oil, natural gas, and coal, remain central to Wyoming’s economy, our communities, and our way of life.

These industries support jobs, fund our schools and services, and help keep communities strong across the state.

I support policies that protect these industries from federal decisions that do not reflect Wyoming realities, while continuing to ensure good stewardship of the land, water, and resources that make this state what it is.

Having worked on energy and infrastructure projects across Wyoming, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to get that balance right. Development affects communities, and those impacts need to be understood and taken seriously.

We do not need to choose between supporting the people who power this state and protecting what we want to pass on to the next generation. We can do both.

If we want a stronger Wyoming, we need clear pathways from education to opportunity.

For families, this comes down to something simple: kids should leave school prepared to succeed, wherever they choose to build their future.

Our schools and workforce systems need to be aligned with the jobs and opportunities that exist here in Wyoming – so employers can find a ready workforce, and students can see a reason to stay.

That includes supporting the full range of education in Wyoming – from K-12 to the University of Wyoming – so students have access to both practical career training and the broader education that prepares them to contribute to their communities over the long term.

Public schools are the foundation of our communities and need to be strong and well supported. At the same time, families make different choices for their children, and those choices should be respected – because parents are best positioned to decide what’s right for their kids. When public dollars are involved, we also have a responsibility to ensure students are learning, making progress, and being prepared for what comes next. That means supporting teachers, keeping decisions close to the community, and setting clear expectations focused on real-world results.

Our goal is straightforward: students graduate prepared, families feel confident in their schools, and Wyoming builds a workforce that supports strong communities and a strong economy.

I believe in limited but effective government. That means staying in its proper lane, doing its core jobs well, and be accountable for results.

Wyoming families and businesses expect discipline from government because they’re expected to manage within their means. That means spending that reflects clear priorities, policies that respect taxpayers, and a focus on what actually works. Cutting for appearances isn’t a strategy – and neither is throwing money at problems without measuring results. Government should be focused, effective, and worthy of the public’s trust.

When it comes to taxes, what I hear from people across the district isn’t that they’re against taxes; it’s that they need predictability. Especially for those on fixed incomes, people need to know what’s coming so they can plan and stay in their homes. At the same time, before making changes we need to ensure that people understand the tradeoffs those changes may entail.

Wyoming has always valued responsibility – living within our means while also taking care of our communities. Stability matters just as much as affordability, and that’s the balance I will work to get right.

Healthcare in Wyoming needs to be more accessible and more affordable, especially in a rural state where distance and provider shortages are real challenges.

In many of our communities, getting care is not simple. People are driving long distances, waiting weeks for appointments, or going without care. Even when care is available, the cost can be hard to manage.

This is one of the areas where my experience matters. I have seen how healthcare costs affect employers, employees, and whether small businesses can grow. Those pressures are real. They affect whether people get the care they need.

What I hear from people is not about politics. It is about whether they can get care when they need it and afford it when they do.

We need practical solutions that improve access, support providers, and reduce pressure on families and employers. The solutions need to reflect how healthcare actually works in Wyoming.

I am not interested in one-size-fits-all approaches or political talking points. I am focused on what works so people can get care, stay healthy, and keep our communities strong.

I believe decisions should be made as close as possible to the people they affect. What works in one part of Wyoming may not make sense in another, and local communities need the ability to respond to their own challenges and opportunities.

The State of Wyoming has a role to play, but it should be a supporting role, not a controlling one. Its role is to help create the conditions for communities to succeed by providing support, resources, and clear expectations.

Local leaders and communities understand their needs, and better decisions are made when they have a real voice in the outcome. That means keeping decision-making close to the community, whether it is schools, infrastructure, or local development, and making sure the State is helping communities move forward rather than directing them from a distance.

I believe government works best when people trust it – when it respects their rights, applies the law consistently, and stays grounded in the real lives of the people it serves.

Constitutional rights are fundamental, and I will defend them. That includes the Second Amendment, the rights of parents, the integrity of our elections, and the expectation that government respects the liberties of the people it serves.

In Wyoming, we understand that freedom comes with responsibility. Government should protect those rights, not redefine or erode them. People should be able to trust that the law is applied fairly and consistently, without favoritism. That means laws must be clear, workable, and enforced in a way people can understand and rely on. I respect and support the men and women in law enforcement who carry out that responsibility every day.

Those same principles should guide how we approach the most difficult and personal issues.

I believe human life is precious, and that should be reflected in our laws. At the same time, this is a serious and complex issue. It should be approached with care, responsibility, and respect for those directly involved. Our laws should reflect both the value of life and the realities people face. Women should be able to make deeply personal decisions with their doctor, within a framework that is clear, workable, and grounded in real-world circumstances.
