On the Issues
The answers below were solicited from candidates via a written questionnaire created by WyoFile reporters and editors in June 2024. Responses are presented exactly as submitted, without fact-checking, wordsmithing or editing for grammar, punctuation or spelling errors.
Legislative candidates were invited to respond to the questionnaire several times by email and by phone. Out of fairness to the candidates who met the deadline, WyoFile will not add responses after the guide's publication.
Where do you live currently? How long have you lived there? How long have you lived in Wyoming? Where were you born?
I currently live in Mountain View and have been since 2004. I have lived in Wyoming for 48 years. I was born in Midland Michigan.
What age will you be on Election Day, Nov. 5, 2024?
I will be 66 years young.
Please tell the voters about yourself including your background and qualifications.
After moving to Wyoming, I enrolled at Western Wyoming College, graduating Phi Theta Kappa with a degree in Industrial Electricity. I am an alumnus of the Uinta County Leadership Institute class of 2016 and have served on the United Way of Southwest Wyoming's Uinta Advisory Council. I currently serve as the state chairman of the Constitution Party of Wyoming. I have worked at the same place of employment since 1978 and am currently an Instrument Tech.
How as a federal lawmaker would you address the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Wyoming today? What legislation is needed to address them?
Wyoming faces a myriad of challenges and opportunities. I think the one of most important things that a member of congress can do is protect its citizens from intrusions on their freedoms and liberties from within the Federal government and the U.N. I would introduce legislation prohibiting the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies and look for legislation that needs removed that are an impediment to the state being in control of its own path to diversify its economy for the betterment of its people.
Nearly half of the land in Wyoming is managed by the federal government. How as a member of Congress do you plan to ensure that land is managed in the best interest of the people of Wyoming?
BLM has been in the news as of late concerning its resource management plans. The balance of recreationists and conservatives vs. mineral extraction companies and the thousands of jobs that rely on them is always a give and take. 3.6 million acres were up for discussion. The people of Wyoming know better than somebody sitting at a desk in Washington and they should listen defer to their better judgement.
Wyoming has wrestled for years with issues of housing, health care, education and economic development. What do you believe the state's role should be in supporting the well-being of Wyoming citizens and their families?
As a member of the U.S. House, the state decides what is best for its citizens. My job is to represent the state and to protect its interests at the federal level within the limits of the constitution.
How willing are you to compromise with legislators and other officials with different perspectives?
As long as it is in the best interests of the nation, and allowed by the constitution, I'm willing.
How does immigration affect Wyoming and how can Congress improve immigration policy for the benefit of Wyoming citizens?
The current immigration policy has room for improvement but it's no excuse for what the current administration is allowing. A nation without borders is not a sovereign nation and allowing, yea, even facilitating it, is a violation of their oath of office and is border line treason.
Would you support federal legislation that either restricts abortions or guarantees access on a national basis? What about contraceptives?
The Supreme Court has returned to the states how to best deal with this issue. Contraceptives are either over the counter or prescribed. In which case they need to go through the normal rigorous drug trials to be sure their safe.
How do you balance the often competing demands of wildlife and open spaces versus energy, industrial and real estate development?
I'm sorry but this is a state's rights issue. I discussed this some in my earlier answer concerning the BLM.
