| Collapse all
- Preserve and protect what we all love about living in Wyoming.
- Diversify Wyoming's Economy so that we are better prepared for trying economic times.
- Pro Gun, Pro Life, a real Conservative.
I will fight against the legislature's continued attempts to introduce state income tax. Why should people be punished for working?
I want to enforce greater accountability at The University of Wyoming and junior colleges. Why are their staffs going on sabbaticals to NYC? Why are we funding majors that are nearly impossible to get a job in? If they are not turning out students ready to join a real workforce, let's quit giving them money.
Work to expand opportunities for cottage industries from back yard farms to at home manufacturing and production (crafts, photography, podcasts, etc.) that would help diversify our economy, make us more self reliant, and fit well into Wyoming's culture.
