Expand all | Collapse all

I am a blessed American Patriot who feels called to help restore conservative values and fulfill my duty to preserve liberty.

  • I love America and want to preserve our divinely-inspired constitutional rights.
  • I recognize a worrisome direction in this country and want to act to realign our tragectory. America will suffer greatly if we cannot restore conservative values.
  • We need less government beaurocracy and more involvement of the people, for the people.

Restoring God in our communities and lives.
Protecting inalienable rights for ALL.
Supporting Second Amendment rights.
Reducing government waste/ reducing the tax burden on the people.

I look up to those who stand up when they see things happen that they don't agree with, even (especially) when it's difficult.

An elected official should have a string base of principles that cannot be swayed by the group-thought of the day. They should be honest, have integrity, positivity, strong work-ethic and a thick skin.

Integrity and a string work ethic. I am committed to my principles and have a great love for America.

Working on the family ranch, training horses and mowing lawns. 10 years

Equipping people with the constitutional knowledge necessary to aid them in restoring this state and country to its conservative roots.

It can be beneficial but it is also necessary for newcomers to enter the arena to freshen up the pool of career politicians. New faces help maintain viability.

Knock Knock. Who's there? Europe. Europe Who? No, YOU'RE a poo! - My kids love that one.

It may not be desirable but in some situations may be necessary. However, core principles should never be compromised.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Wyoming

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

2024

In 2024, the Wyoming State Legislature was in session from February 12 to March 8.

Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to business issues.
