- I believe in classic conservative and long-standing Republican principles. These are: protect and maximize individual rights, ensure a limited government/constrain government overreach, uphold the rule of law, commitment to federalism and separation of powers, maintain free & open markets.
- Sheridan County (and Wyoming) residents are dealing with: inflation, supply chain issues, housing costs, recruiting employees, and the state’s transportation infrastructure is in decay. All are long standing or emerging issues. However, national hot-button political and social issues continue to dominate the discourse.
- The Sheridan County Republican Party - while understandably concerned about national issues, needs to prioritize supporting platforms and solutions at the county and state platform level, focusing (first) on issues facing Sheridan County and Wyoming.
- We can attain that objective, using tested and well-proven conservative/free-market principles, as opposed to demagoguing others at the local or legislative level.
- Bottom line-up-front: pay attention (and return) to, grass roots local issues; focus on issues that are pertinent to Sheridan County and the state, and build from there.

1. Work on reaching out to Republicans who do not vote in Primary and General Elections. Choosing to not vote in the primary, carries consequences.
2. Support and promote Republican principles through robust and respectful debate and language.
3. Transparency and respect to others in all central/state committee membership meetings.
