My name is Joey Correnti IV, and I consider myself to be an extremely focused constitutional conservative and an active participant in maintaining a strong and free America for over twenty years.


I served our country and our great state in the U.S. Army, and Wyoming National Guard, for two decades, with honor, dignity, and effectiveness. The same honor, dignity, and effectiveness I served our great country with, I am committed to serving the voters of House District 47 with.

As a member of the Armed Services of the United States I was trained to fight and never quit; to survive adverse situations and harsh environments; and to selflessly serve, while defending those who cannot defend themselves.

I plan to continue to utilize my warrior spirit, as well as my logistical and leadership training by bringing these skills with me to Cheyenne and the Legislative floor. With your support, I can continue serving the people of Wyoming while representing the voters of House District 47 with a true and proven conservative voice.

  • Without the Second Amendment none of our other rights will be ours for very long!
  • We must find efficiencies in how we spend NOW! Blind cutting can be just as damaging as blind spending!
  • Innocent life WILL be protected from conception!
ALWAYS LIBERTY FIRST!

Second Amendment Protection
Abolishment of Abortion
Private Property Rights
Rural Equality, Equity, and Consideration

Revenue and Appropriations discipline


Calvin Coolidge-

Coolidge was one of the most logical, efficient, and effective conservatives in history. Cool-Cal always did more by saying less, but when he did speak, he said things like " It is more important to stop bad legislation, than it is to pass good legislation."
I have a great sense of logic and am a fairly accomplished researcher. I listen well and enjoy problem solving. I also know when it's time to speak up and when it's time to take action, and am never afraid to do so when it's called for.
To enforce the will of the majority while protecting the voice of the minority. To be true to the brand that you ran on and maintain those principles throughout your representation of the people. To protect liberty equally for all people regardless of your personal feelings about a situation.
A prosperous and self sufficient Wyoming!
I was a laborer and go-fer for a youth work program with construction company building the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Ca (3 Months)
1984 By George Orwell

Because it serves as a reminder as to what the next generation may face if we are not successful in saving America during this generation's fight to maintain and strengthen liberty.
I would never want to be a fictional character. as I said before every day in America is a struggle, but I'd prefer to fight hard in a real struggle then have everything to be perfect in a made up world.
"When the man comes around" By Johnny Cash
Everyday in America is a struggle for every American because freedom and liberty are not easy things to keep, but I get to wake up everyday and see courage in my fellow Wyomingites fighting through that struggle. For that I am grateful and inspired by being reminded that we are the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave!
Aside from the obvious (length of term and number of legislators, and specific responsibilities of each body) the biggest difference I see between the Wyoming House and the Wyoming Senate is the Senate's apparent level of comfort in the individual's they conform for appointment to non-elected positions over the less comfortable posture of many members of the House.
Not always. Leadership is more about responsibility than it is about ability. Both responsibility and ability can be obtained through many experiences outside of government and politics, and frankly, those "outside" experiences in leadership are desperately needed in government today.

"Of the people, for the people, and by the people!"
Revenue and Spending! We will not be able to fix the problems that Wyoming faces by continuing to increase the hardship on the taxpayers of Wyoming. We must become more responsible with how we spend and what we're spending the contributions of the taxpayers on. If we do not figure this out then nothing else we do in the Wyoming government will matter because we will not be able to afford to do anything.
I believe that the governor of a state should deeply respect the members of the legislature as the ambassadors of the voices of the people of their district, while at the same time the legislators should respect the governor as the elected executive of the majority of the voters of the entire state.

The bottom line is both governors and state legislators need to respect the voice and the will of the people more. Always remembering that their job as a representative of the people is to enforce the will of the majority while protecting the voice of the minority in every situation.
Yes! "Relationships" are key in being able to function in any organization including, and especially, the legislature. However, developing a relationship based on personal benefit, advancement, or recognition, with no thought to the voice of the people and what you have been elected to represent is not something I will ever support.
Redistricting must be contiguous to its current geographic political subdivision and no considerations for ethnic, economic, or political demographics should be given when considering redistricting.
Not at this time. I would prefer to spend my first term proving my leadership over being given a title without any quantified record of responsibility or ability.
Probably too many to list. But I do not intend to molded myself after any man Or woman on this earth. I will take inspiration and direction from any great man or woman I encounter so long as that inspiration and direction reflects God's inspiration, direction, and plan for how he modeled me.
It is far too soon to tell and if elected to this office our current problems and how I can address them from this office must be my main and only focus for now.
Living in a small rural town, I hear inspiring stories of community mindedness, charity, and grace on a constant basis. All of these stories combined or what have inspired me to run for office to ensure that the decency and importance of rural America is not forgotten, Ignored, or dismissed as "nostalgic"
