Brian Costello (Republican)
House District 37 - - (189)
Biography
I am a lifelong Wyomingite, educator, coach, entrepreneur, husband, and father who has proudly called Casper home for more than two decades. My wife, Amy, and I have raised our family here because we believe Wyoming is the best place to live, work, and build a future.
As a teacher and coach, I've spent my career helping young people succeed. As a business owner, I've experienced the challenges and rewards of building something from the ground up. Those experiences have shaped my commitment to common-sense leadership, strong communities, responsible government, and creating opportunities for Wyoming families.
I'm running for the Wyoming House because I want future generations to have the same opportunities that Wyoming has given me and I want to leave it better than I found it. My promise is simple: I will listen to the people I represent, work hard, and deliver more results and less drama.
Experience
For 25 years, I have served the Casper community as a teacher & coach, helping students develop the skills & character to succeed. I have owned and operated small businesses, giving me firsthand experience navigating the challenges faced by Wyoming business owners. These experiences have taught me how to solve problems, work with others, and make thoughtful decisions. They have prepared me to serve House District 37 with integrity, common sense, and a commitment to delivering practical results.
Education
I earned bachelor's degrees in Mathematics Education and Computer Science, along with a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction: Technology Education. Equally important has been the education I've received outside the classroom, I've learned invaluable lessons as a teacher, coach, father, husband & small business owner. This combination of education and real-world experience has prepared me to listen, learn, and ultimately serve the people of District 37 with common sense conservatism.
Community Activities and Memberships
Community service has always been important to me. I've organized free youth basketball camps and Wednesday night open gyms. My brother battled childhood cancer, so I've raised money for Jason's Friends Foundation, which supports Wyoming families facing similar challenges. I've volunteered through my church's Love Your City events and my family also enjoys supporting local charities each year. I believe serving our community isn't just something you do while in office, it's a way of life.
Why I am Running
I decided to run because I believe Wyoming's best days are still ahead, but only if we're willing to work together to create more opportunities for our families and future generations. As an educator, coach, business owner, husband, and father, I've seen both the strengths of our state and the challenges that cause too many young people to leave in search of opportunity elsewhere.
I want Wyoming to remain the best place to live, work, and raise a family. That means strengthening education, supporting small businesses, protecting our public lands, expanding affordable housing, and growing an economy that allows people to build their future right here at home.
I also believe our communities deserve leaders who listen before they legislate. My commitment is to represent the people of House District 37 with integrity, common sense, and a willingness to work with others to solve problems. In the legislature, it is time for more results and less drama.
Top 3 Priorities
My priorities are creating opportunities for Wyoming families by strengthening our economy, supporting small businesses, expanding affordable housing, and creating good-paying jobs so people of all ages can build their future right here in Wyoming. I will support strong schools, safe communities, responsible government, and transparent use of every taxpayer dollar. I am also committed to protecting our constitutional freedoms, preserving access to our public lands, and defending the Wyoming way of life.
