After discussing it with family, friends and constituents, I have decided to seek reelection to Wyoming House District 48.  The opportunity to serve the state and community I love has been an honor.  It would be my pleasure to continue serving in this capacity. 

As a representative, I have consistently sought to strike a balance between limiting government intrusion into our lives and providing for the welfare of the citizens of this state.  I’m proud to have played an integral role in the development of key pieces of legislation to come out of Cheyenne in the last two years, including: juvenile justice reform; carbon sequestration regulation; enhanced DUI laws; and the Wyoming Freedom of Firearms Act, among others. 

In my second term, I would like to address the manner in which AML funding is distributed throughout the state, help to improve work-site safety, and continue to oppose federal mandates that seek to undermine our tenth amendment rights.  In addition, I will continue to seek a resolution to the water and sewer problems plaguing the community of Reliance in hopes of setting a precedent for how these sorts of issues are handled in the future. 

As a legislator, I have worked hard to earn the respect of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle.  I’ve earned a reputation of being an independent thinker who serves first and foremost as a Wyomingite and represents the best interests of my constituents.  This is a quality I’ve worked hard to attain and will work equally hard to retain. 

During the campaign and throughout my term, I look forward to visiting with the residents of district 48 to continue the conversation about what is best for our state and to ensure that I continue to accurately represent the constituency.  Respectfully, I submit my name for consideration and request the privilege of continuing to serve this great community and state.
