Campaign themes
2014
Gerard submitted the following statement to Ballotpedia:[2]
| “ | I am a solid conservative who stands up for conservative principles. I want Wyoming to prosper with good high paying jobs and the freedom for everyone to pursue their dreams.
The adoption of 'Common Core' standards, the fuel tax hike, and Senate File 104 show we’ve lost our conservative way. No fewer than 21 sitting Republican legislators vote with the Democrats more often than with their own party. It’s no wonder we‘ve lost our way. It’s time for a change.[6] |

Ballotpedia was not able to identify which candidate Gerard was bound by state party rules to support at the national convention or if Gerard was one of Wyoming's four uncommitted delegates.

Delegate rules
Delegates from Wyoming to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected at county conventions in March 2016 and a state convention in April 2016. Delegates elected at the state convention were self-nominated or nominated by a Nominating/Elections Committee. Delegate candidates, prior to their election, were required to indicate if they supported a specific presidential candidate or were uncommitted.

Delegate allocation
Wyoming had 29 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention: 23 at-large delegates, three congressional district delegates, and three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates). Wyoming's RNC delegates were not bound to support the winner of the state's caucuses.

Wyoming did not use a presidential preference poll to allocate and bind delegates in 2016.

- ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties; email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials; official lists provided by state governments; and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note. If you have additional information on this state's delegation, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.
