  • Let's keep Wyoming, Wyoming - true progress doesn't require building subdivisions, solar and wind industrial 'farms' and data centers which all combined are land and water intensive, will raise electricity rates, and bring little in the way of economic benefits to Wyomingites. Let's save our farms, ranches and way of life. We can define and pursue a different path and prosperous future for all Wyomingites.
  • Keep Government Small and Taxes Low Reduce Property Taxes for Wyoming’s middle class, seniors, veterans, farmers and ranchers. Cap Government spending to no more inflation with focus on law and order, improving infrastructure and curbing reckless spending.
  • Promoting Wyoming Values in all Government does by: Protecting the unborn and sanctity of life.
