Why I am Running

I’m running for House District 56 to help us, as a state, get back on track.

Recent legislative sessions in Cheyenne have demonstrated a lack of civility, decorum, and ability to work together to solve problems. The advancement of personal interests and national agendas has created an environment of contention and dysfunction in our state legislature. I care about Wyoming and its people, resources, and future. Care requires action, so I’m stepping into the arena.

I was raised to do the right thing and to do right by others — leaving it better than I found it. Like most folks born and raised in Wyoming, I am protective of our values, traditions, and the beautiful space we are fortunate to call home. I believe in supporting local businesses, lending a helping hand, and working together to make our communities stronger.

I’m a lifelong Republican who believes in local control, fiscal responsibility, principles of good governance, and doing right by those who call Wyoming home. I’m invested in our community and will fight to protect our values, quality of life, and future.
