I live at 2240 W. 43rd street, Casper WY 82604 I have lived in this home for 19 years. I have lived in Wyoming for 59 years and was born here in Casper.

I own my business Forefront Real Estate and have been a business owner for 10 years. I have worked in various industries - oilfield, trucking, newspaper, and real estate. I served on Casper City Council for 4 years and was Vice Mayor for a 1 1/2 years. I am currently the Vice President of Wyoming Realtors, I served on Natrona County Historic Preservation Board, and I serve on Central Wyoming advocacy board for Central Wyoming Realtors. I love our great state and want to preserve our values, support economic growth, and ensure future generations can enjoy the freedoms we cherish today.

Wyoming's biggest challenge is protecting our way of life while preparing for the future. We are facing rising property taxes, housing shortages, rural healthcare gaps, education concerns, workforce shortages, and an economy that still depends heavily on energy and mineral revenue. I believe our biggest opportunity is growth done the Wyoming way. I support responsible energy development, including nuclear, Ai data centers, traditional energy, renewables, and new industries that bring good jobs while respecting water, property rights, and local communities. I would make Wyoming more business-friendly, reduce unnecessary red tape, and keep taxes predictable so companies want to invest here.

Healthcare affordability and access are among the most important issues facing Wyoming families, especially in our rural communities. No Wyoming resident should have to drive hours to see a specialist, wait months for care, or choose between paying for medication and paying their bills. As a legislator. I would focus on practical solutions such as: Strengthening rural healthcare, expand telehealth services, reduce healthcare costs through competition and transparency, support preventative care and wellness programs, and protect rural hospitals and clinics. I believe healthcare decisions should remain as close to patients and their doctors as possible. We need to remove barriers, encourage innovation, support local healthcare providers and ensure Wyoming families have access to affordable healthcare regardless of where they live.

I believe public lands are on of Wyoming's greatest assets and should be managed in a way that benefits the people of Wyoming. I do not support large scale sales or transfers of public lands if they would reduce public access, harm Wyoming's outdoor heritage, or place additional financial burdens on taxpayers. I believe we should have a strong voice in how our federal lands within our borders are managed. We live, work, ranch, farm, hunt, recreate, and we raise families here, and our voice should be considered in Washington D.C.

Property tax relief is important because many Wyoming families, seniors, and small business owners are feeling the pressure of rising property values and rising tax bills. People should not be taxed out of their homes simply because the market value of their property has increased. The long-term solution is to continue to grow Wyoming's economy by attracting new businesses, supporting energy development, encourage innovation to create more jobs so we can broaden our tax base and reduce pressure on property owners over time.

The Wyoming Legislature has an important role in economic development but is not government's job to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. Our role should be to create an environment where businesses, entrepreneurs, and workers can succeed. We should create the opportunities so our children and grandchildren can build their futures in Wyoming instead of feeling they have to leave the state to find them.

My approach to campaign donations is simple: transparency, integrity, and accountability. Voters deserve to know who is supporting candidates and where campaign money is coming from. Public trust in government depends on an open and transparent process.
