I’m running for Congress because Wyoming needs proven leadership, not more gridlock. I was raised in Wyoming, graduated from the University of Wyoming, served 27 years in the Army with two combat tours in Iraq, and served as a Colonel at the Pentagon advising the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I then returned home to serve as BLM District Manager, overseeing 8 million acres of public land and 13 million acres of mineral estate across 10 counties in Wyoming. I know how Washington works, and I know how federal policy affects Wyoming. I’ll fight for fiscal responsibility, energy jobs, local control, constitutional rights, and a representative who answers to Wyoming—not Washington
Wyoming families are doing everything right and still feeling squeezed. I would focus on lowering costs in three areas: groceries, fuel, and healthcare. First, I would support policies that expand reliable American energy production and reduce supply disruptions that drive up fuel and transportation costs. Second, I would strengthen antitrust enforcement in agriculture and meatpacking so families pay fair prices at the store. Third, I would support temporary relief to keep health coverage affordable while pursuing reforms that put patients and providers—not insurance and drug companies—back at the center of care.
First, we need to fix the legal immigration system in the US. We are a nation of immigrants, and we need labor to fuel our economy. The legal immigration system in the US is difficult and expensive for business owners to use. Those who come here legally and work hard, respect our laws, and do not commit fraud with welfare programs, should have a pathway to citizenship. Those who do not respect our laws must be sent back home without an opportunity to return. Secondly, we must secure our borders. All sovereign nations secure their borders. Every wall needs a door, and the door to the US must be protected by a legal process that ensures the people who come here contribute to our economy and abide by our laws.
Wyoming needs affordable healthcare that works in rural communities. I would support incentives to recruit and keep providers in small towns, temporary relief to keep coverage affordable, and reforms that put patients and providers—not insurance and drug companies—back at the center of care. I also support expanding access for low-income working families so fewer people go without care and rural hospitals face less uncompensated care. In the long run, a healthcare system focused on prevention, wellness, and local access will lower costs and deliver better care for Wyoming families.
I do not support selling Wyoming’s public lands. I spent years managing these lands, and I know what they mean to our state—not just economically, but personally. They are where Wyoming families work, hunt, fish, ranch, and make memories. Public lands are part of who we are. I do support carefully considered land exchanges when they improve access, protect the public interest, and are done at fair market value. But once public land is sold, it is gone for good. We should protect it, improve access where it makes sense, and keep it in the hands of the people.

I've been watching politics in this country decline for many years and I finally got fed up with the drive to the lowest common denominator and focus on the extraneous. At this time, Wyoming and the US need representatives who have the intelligence to see what's happening and the integrity to impose accountability on those responsible.
Let's start with taking tariff power away from the executive branch and letting the people's representatives handle that as the Constitutional Convention decided two centuries ago.
Immigration is what made this country great in the first place. All of us, with some exceptions have immigrant ancestors. Imagine if your grandparents or great-grandparents had been driven from this land because they didn't speak good English, or didn't look "white" enough. If we want to make this country great again, we should welcome the energy of people who gave up everything to be here as our ancestors did.
Health care is a tough nut to crack, especially in rural and small town America. I think better access is going to require fundamental reform of the system, but exactly what that entails would be hard to say. Possibly some form of student loan reform, or some other incentives to encourage the best and the brightest to relocate or to stay in Wyoming.
Public lands are some of our most precious resources. But support for sale or exchange would depend highly on the specific aspects of each deal individually. In general exchanges to improve access are welcome. Sales should benefit the state and the country as a whole. But every deal should be seen in the light of preserving value for generations to come. For example, managing National Forests for sustainable forestry is something we do very well. But fossil fuels are a completely different problem and so needs a different approach.

I'm a Casper-raised, Army Ranger, son of legal immigrants, and Bronze Star recipient with 12 years of active duty service. What truly sets me apart is my federal legislative experience — as a DoD Congressional Fellow I drafted key legislation including the NDAA, and I later worked for Senator Lummis on Wyoming-specific issues including agriculture, trade, public lands, and national security. I'm not a millionaire or career politician. I'm a middle-class Wyoming kid who has already done the work of legislating in Washington — and I'm ready to do it for the people of this state.
The cost of living is the number one concern I hear from Wyoming families, and it should be. People are being squeezed by inflation driven by reckless federal spending. My approach is straightforward: cut the deficit, reduce regulatory burdens on energy production, and let Wyoming's economy work.

I support legislation that reins in federal spending and opposes new mandates that drive up costs for small businesses and consumers. I will fight to expand domestic energy production because affordable, reliable energy is the foundation of a lower cost of living for every family. I also support reducing regulatory overreach from agencies like the EPA that add costs without meaningful benefit to Wyoming citizens.
Immigration is personal to me — my mother fled Cuba and my father came from Costa Rica. Both came legally, learned English, worked hard, and became proud Americans. That's what immigration should look like. I support finishing the border wall, securing our southern border, and lawful deportation of those here illegally. Equally important, we must fix the legal immigration system to be faster and merit-based, so those who want to come the right way actually can.
Healthcare access is critical to Wyoming's future growth. I support building on the Republican-led Rural Health Transformation Program, ensuring those federal dollars are deployed efficiently with Wyoming in control. I'll push to expand telehealth for rural residents and veterans, create workforce incentives to attract providers to underserved areas, and give Wyoming more Medicaid flexibility — fewer one-size-fits-all federal mandates that don't fit life in the Cowboy State.
I oppose the wholesale sale of public lands. Wyoming's public lands belong to the people of Wyoming — and as someone who grew up in Boy Scouts, learned to hunt and fish across this state, and spent time on BLM and Forest Service land throughout my life, I take that personally.

That said, I believe strongly in the multi-use principle. Public lands should be actively managed to support grazing, hunting, fishing, energy production, recreation, and timber — not locked up under restrictive policies. I will fight to protect grazing permits on BLM land that Wyoming ranchers and agricultural producers depend on. I oppose federal overreach that removes local voices from public lands management decisions.
