I've been very active in the party for over 12 years and have represented my Precinct for 8 years. I'm one of the most reliable and consistent members of the Park Co.

I've been a Delegate to several State Conventions and have supported financially and physically many PCRP events over the years. I believe I speak well for the people in my precinct and the party at large, supporting the party platform and common-sense solutions. I've testified before the legislature on several issues in opposition or in support of legislation. I believe if you care about issues, you must participate in the process.

Support candidates who support the party.
Restrain wasteful spending.
Support growth and development that help Wyoming.
