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.

Please tell the voters about yourself including your background and qualifications.
I'm originally from Alabama. I'm a combat veteran I served two tours in Iraq as a combat Infantryman. My little family has been here since 2016. I transport crude oil. We moved here because of the low taxes and less regulation. I'm currently serving as the the Mayor of Bar Nunn. I served on Bar Nunn Town Council previous to being for about 4 years. I have been married to Andrea Boyer for 18 years and we have 3 children together.
What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Wyoming today? As a legislator, how would you address them?
In my opinion three of the biggest challenges facing Wyoming are:
- Young people leaving the state
- Stagnant Economy
- Poor Health care coverage All three of these are interrelated The opportunities we have here are primarily that we have a good base to work from. Oil, coal, gas and cattle have sustained the state for a long time and they provide a good foundation from which to build a more robust economy from. I think one of the first things we need to do is really emphasizing and supporting the CTE programs for kids to move from high school to college to high paying jobs. We also need to change our mindset about incoming businesses and welcome them to the state. Looking at where regulations can be rolled back and taxes reduced would incentivize economic activity. Health care is tied to both of these issues. A robust economy will attract more health care professionals to the state as they will have high paying jobs to come too.
We asked WyoFile readers to rank issues that are important to them, and healthcare costs and access topped the list. What can the Legislature do to make healthcare more affordable and accessible to Wyomingites?
I've already talked about it but reinvigorating the economy will help immensely with health care as high paying jobs for Wyomingites will draw in doctors to treat the people here.
Do you support efforts to sell or transfer public land in Wyoming? How do you plan to ensure that state and federal land is managed in the best interest of the people of Wyoming?
No except in the case of public lands being backed up against a municipalities growth boundary in which case those lands need to be carefully considered for annexation and development. We need to have a state constitutional amendment for one day if the Supreme Court hands down a decision to return federal lands back to the states so that those lands are protected.
No two Wyoming counties are the same when it comes to how they generate revenue. As a legislator, how would you approach the public's desire for property tax relief with local revenue needs?
There are two ways in which we can address the property tax issue. First: we need to excite the economy so that people can afford their homes and property taxes. Second: we need to get our legacy industries moving again through deregulation and lowering severance tax. Third: An incremental approach of slowly raising sales tax while slowly reducing property taxes is just one idea to help people feeling the pinch.
What role, if any, should the Wyoming Legislature play in economic development?
Mainly to get out of the way of economic growth. Make sure there aren't burdensome regulations that will keep business away and keep the infrastructure in good repair. It signals to a business that the government is well run when infrastructure is well maintained and it allows for businesses to feel confident in establishing roots in the state.
Explain your values when it comes to campaign donations. Does Wyoming's system for monitoring campaign donations and expenditures need reform?
No it does need reform.
