Why are you running for this office? Describe the experience and skills that make you the most qualified candidate.
I am running for office because I want to advance the priorities of the people of Wyoming in the United States Congress. We must advance our Wyoming industries so that we can reach our full potential. I have a track record of getting things done for the people of Wyoming and that's why I am the most qualified candidate in this race. As a state representative out of Casper, I passed Wyoming’s voter ID bill and worked to gain access to markets for Wyoming’s coal industry. As Secretary of State, I worked to secure our elections with proof of citizenship for registering to vote and a durational residency requirement. I have a track record of getting things done for the people of Wyoming and will take that to the United States Congress.
What federal legislation would you support to lower the cost of living for Wyoming citizens?
Lowering the cost of living is very important. We must reduce regulations, which have increased costs across our economy. The monetary expansion that has occurred due to the debt and deficit has increased the cost of living, and it must be reversed by stopping the debt and deficit.
On housing, we must codify President Trumps’ Executive Order to stop housing speculation. The cost of housing must also be addressed by encouraging apprenticeships and by encouraging education in the trades.
We must also lower the costs of energy by ensuring that oil and gas wells that have been proposed across Wyoming are brought to the finish line. By unleashing Wyoming coal, oil and gas, and soda ash, prices will go down for Wyomingites.
How would you improve the federal immigration system?
I support President Trump’s approach to stopping illegal immigration. As Wyoming’s next congressman, I will work to support this very important work to stop illegal immigration. In addition, the Congress must support President Trump to finish building the wall. Congress must also completely ban sanctuary cities. We must ensure that the laws of our country are enforced.
What measures would you support to improve access to and affordability of health care services in Wyoming?
Obamacare is one of the worst things to happen to our country. Obamacare must be repealed. Since the passing of Obamacare, health insurance premiums and deductibles have skyrocketed. There is less competition in the market because of strict federal regulations, leading to higher prices. To address health care costs, we need to incentivize competition and to allow insurance to be sold across state lines. This competition will bring down prices. There also needs to be more transparency on how much medical care costs. Medical providers, by law, should disclose those prices. For our rural communities, I will support legislation like the One Big Beautiful Bill that distributed rural health funds, which will help with access.
Do you support or oppose the sale or exchange of public lands? Please explain.
Public lands must remain in public hands. I'm opposed to the sale of public lands. I'm also opposed to the exchange of public lands. I know how important our public lands are to our Wyoming way of life. And I have a proven track record of defending our public lands as a member of the State Board of Land Commissioners.

Why are you running for this office? Describe the experience and skills that make you the most qualified candidate.
I’m running for Congress because Wyoming deserves a representative who understands the people and communities he serves, not just Washington politics. As an Army National Guard combat medic with 21 years of service, including Iraq, I know the responsibility that comes with protecting others and making difficult decisions. As a sheriff’s deputy for 13 years, I saw firsthand how government policies affect people’s lives and why constitutional rights matter. As a two-term Casper City Councilman and former vice-mayor, I listened to constituents and saw how government decisions affect families, businesses, and communities. As an attorney, I advocate for people when their rights and futures are on the line.
What federal legislation would you support to lower the cost of living for Wyoming citizens?
I would support legislation that puts more money back in the pockets of Wyoming families by reducing federal spending, unnecessary taxes, and regulations that drive up the cost of living. Wyoming produces the energy that powers America, yet our families still face high costs for fuel, electricity, food, and housing. I would expand responsible energy development and remove unnecessary barriers that increase costs. I would oppose unnecessary wars and nation-building that cost taxpayers trillions. I would also reform Social Security by protecting benefits already earned while giving younger workers the choice to direct a portion of their payroll taxes into individually owned, state-sponsored retirement accounts they can invest and pass on.
How would you improve the federal immigration system?
I would secure the border, enforce the laws already on the books, and fix the broken legal immigration system. Wyoming needs workers in agriculture, ranching, energy, construction, and other industries, but our immigration system should not force employers or families to navigate years of unnecessary bureaucracy. I would support faster legal pathways for workers our economy needs, while ensuring employers follow the law and American workers are protected. I would also prioritize stopping fentanyl, human trafficking, and criminals from entering illegally and ensure legitimate asylum claims are processed quickly. Wyoming welcomes people who come here legally, work hard, respect our laws, and contribute to our communities.
What measures would you support to improve access to and affordability of health care services in Wyoming?
I would make keeping Wyoming’s rural hospitals open and financially sustainable a top priority. Rural communities should not lose access to emergency and essential care because a hospital cannot survive financially. I would support reforms that reduce unnecessary regulations, strengthen reimbursement for rural hospitals, expand telehealth, and help attract and retain health care professionals. To lower insurance costs, I would increase competition by allowing families to shop for more affordable plans, expand access to health savings accounts, and increase price transparency. Wyoming families deserve affordable coverage and quality care close to home, not a three-hour drive to the nearest hospital.
Do you support or oppose the sale or exchange of public lands? Please explain.
I oppose the sale of Wyoming’s public lands to private interests. These lands belong to the American people and are an important part of Wyoming’s economy, outdoor heritage, hunting, fishing, ranching, and recreation. I do support carefully considered land exchanges when they improve public access, consolidate isolated parcels, or provide a clear benefit to Wyoming communities and taxpayers. Any exchange should be transparent and protect public access. The federal government should not use public-land sales as a way to raise money or balance its budget. Wyoming’s public lands should remain available for future generations.

Why are you running for this office? Describe the experience and skills that make you the most qualified candidate.
I'm running for Congress because I want to serve and represent the people of Wyoming. I have previously served in the Wyoming State Senate for 10 years and was the Senate Minority Floor leader for 2 of those years. I understand how government is supposed to work and want to help improve the issues that people are dealing with now. I have also served as Director of the Albany County Library and a financial advisor for over 20 years.
What federal legislation would you support to lower the cost of living for Wyoming citizens?
I would work to remove tariffs, would promote universal healthcare and raise the minimum wage. We have to do something to lower the prices of groceries, gas and housing so that everyone has the opportunity to improve their own living conditions and wealth.
How would you improve the federal immigration system?
The Immigration System as it is now is broken. We need a reasonable and easier path to citizenship by hiring more immigration judges and staff, allowing non-citizens to live here while they pursue a legal pathway to stay in our country. The timeline to acquire a green card is expensive and unreasonable.
What measures would you support to improve access to and affordability of health care services in Wyoming?
I would support Universal Healthcare. The US is the only country in the world who does not provide healthcare for its citizens and the cost of healthcare is unreasonable. We should bring back the ACA subsidies as a start, and raise the income guidelines for Medicaid by expanding it, too.
Do you support or oppose the sale or exchange of public lands? Please explain.
I absolutely oppose the sale or exchange of public lands. Our public lands represent over 48% of the land base managed by the US Forest Service, National Park Service, BLM, and the Fish & Wildlife Service. Recreation is a major draw for tourists as well as sportsmen looking to hunt and fish. I will block any attempt to transfer any of our public lands to private entities or back to the states for sale.
