Campaign themes

2016

Christian's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Keep Public Lands in Public Hands

  • Federal lands are lands in the United States for which ownership is claimed by the U.S. federal government, pursuant to Article Four, section 3, clause 2 of the United States Constitution.
  • The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that this section empowers Congress to retain federal lands, to regulate federal lands such as by limiting cattle grazing, and to sell such lands. It would take a full-blown Constitutional Amendment to change this - not some Bill passed by a rogue bunch of State Legislators fighting the BLM. Tell these Land Grabbers to stop wasting our time by supporting my campaign. Let's keep Wyoming, Wild Wyoming as much as we possibly can for just as long as we can.

Repeal Right to Work - Implement Equal Pay for Equal Work & a Raise in the Minimum Wage

  • Hard work deserves a living wage - not to be left with starvation wages scraping by working two jobs as the working poor. Hard work is a virtue that should be rewarded not punished!
  • Let's get some worker benefit programs going on before the next Boom makes us forget the hard times when we need them and they're not just gone, they've never been there for us at all. A decent living wage is something we just have to afford or we don't have viable Wyoming businesses. The businesses are profiting more than any other entity in Wyoming right now - let's see some of that trickle down to housing and lowered rents.

Bring New Industry and Technology to Wyoming

  • Legalizing Hemp is only the first in a series of devloping Wyoming Agricultural Interests in a new direction.
  • One that utilizes our water and soil remediation needs with a scientific method deployed by the best agronomists who are succeeding in growing a product that has literally thousands of uses and fulfills hundreds of material needs. We can stop practices that are now depleting forests and more importantly, increasing greenhouse gases and contributing to Climate Change. Of course I beleive that it's real, don't you?

Wind, Water, Wildlife Wyoming's only viable and most valuable future

  • Help me to work with other Legislators to stop Corporate Interests from selling Wyoming's Water Rights again! We will need every drop we don't send downstream now for new agricultural endeavors - Let's legalize Growing Industrial Hemp and put new Bladeless Wind Turbines to work in our never ceasing Wind and THEN let's bring some modern technology in with preserving and caring most for our natural wildlife![1]
