On the Issues
The answers below were solicited from candidates via a written questionnaire created by WyoFile reporters and editors in June 2026. 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.

What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Wyoming today? What would you do as a federal lawmaker to address them?
I believe FISA, and freedoms being lost, AI, and I would bring a wrecking ball to the Senate to get our freedom back!
We asked WyoFile readers to rank issues that are important to them, and healthcare costs and access topped the list. What can Congress do to make healthcare more affordable and accessible to Wyomingites?
Let the free market roam through healthcare, it’s a complex issue, where simple solutions are needed.
How willing are you to compromise with legislators and other officials with different perspectives?
Pending on the outcome, compromises have been made for the American people. As long as “We The People” win!
The Wind River Indian Reservation is home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. How will you represent tribal interests in Washington?
To have the best outcome as possible
The Senate is tasked with confirming the president’s nominees. How would you balance the president's right to select the team of his or her choosing, with the Senate's responsibility to evaluate fitness for public service?
With the information given, I would have the people of Wyoming, staff, and have the best informed decision possible, plus using common sense!
Nearly half of the land in Wyoming is managed by the federal government. As a member of Congress, how do you plan to ensure that land is managed in the best interest of the people of Wyoming?
Word of mouth gets around, people do communicate in Wyoming, the people of Wyoming would let me know.
How would you rate the Trump administration’s approach to immigration since the start of 2025? How can Congress improve immigration policy for the benefit of Wyoming citizens?
Deport illegals like it’s out of style! Keep Building the wall, make it tall, and protect us all! Nothing wrong with legal immigrants, they didn’t the right way.
