Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As an economic and community developer, I am running for re-election to make a difference. A graduate of Leadership Wyoming, I honed my passion for service; utilizing my leadership skills downtown, in volunteer positions with Laramie Public Art and Laramie Plains Museum and as your current House District 14 Representative. In my “day job” I work to build a vibrant business district by collaborating with public-private partners, focusing on our shared goal of a strong downtown where entrepreneurs thrive, new jobs are created and consumers “shop local”. My interest in politics is not driven by selfish ambition, but a deep desire to better the lives of my neighbors, community and state.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Funding for education
• Living wages for our state employees
• Funding for infrastructure and business retention

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

My areas of focus are based on the needs and requests of my constituents. Based on what I am hearing, I will focus on our labor market (workforce services and a living wage), Wyoming’s housing shortage, stabilizing our revenue streams, expanding access to healthcare and mental health services, providing a quality education for our young people, protecting our public lands and creating new jobs through a diversified economy. If the needs of my district shift, I will adapt my priorities to best serve those I represent.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Wyoming

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
