- I am a Christian. Jesus Christ is Lord.
- I am very pro life and will support federal legislation to restrict abortions,. Someone needs to be in President Trump's ear on this, I am optimistic President Trump can be convinced to support federal legislation restricting abortions once he is in office, even though he does not favor such legislation at the present time.
- I am against new nuclear construction, in Kemmerer and elsewhere,. There is no place to store nuclear waste and no one in favor of nuclear power appears to be addressing this problem. In Germany, where they shut down their last nuclear reactor in 2023, a government official said although 3 generations of Germans had received benefit from nuclear power, about 30,000 generations were going to be burdened with radioactive waste, which would be dangerous for many thousands of years. How would they label the waste site so that people, 100,000 or more years from now would be warned, since languages and symbols could change over that period of time? It seems insane to create more nuclear waste when there is no permanent place for its storage.

|- Protect our land and water resources in Wyoming, while understanding whatever is done will have a minimal effect on the world's climate. One of the world climate goals is to limit the increase in the earth's temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. My source tells me if everything in the Paris Climate Accord were followed to a tee, the earth's temperature would increase 2.5 degrees Celsius, which is 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Our water is being contaminated with PSAFs and we need to focus on protecting our land and water resources.
- The media is a big part of the problems facing our country. If someone expresses their opinion that the election was probably stolen, that person can be banned from social media. President Biden has activated a disinformation board. What has happened to free speech? Speech should not be limited unless the speech is advocating for immediate violence or is obscene. All of the fake news has resulted in a low level of public confidence in the media. A free press is fundamental but a free and fair press is what is needed. The press often advocates rather than reports and I would consider making it easier to hold media outlets responsible for false reporting.
- Inflation is hurting us all. Increasing energy prices are a big contributor to upward inflationary pressure, along with the massive spending and money printing going on in Washington. We need to become energy independent again, as we were under President Trump. We need to let our fossil fuel producers produce, while also protecting our land and water resources.
