I currently live in Jackson Hole, Wy. I've lived in Wyoming 26 years. I was born in Delaware.

I will be 60 years old on election day.

Greetings Wyomingites! I am honored to run to represent you in the House of Representatives. I am a political outsider with real-world experience in the private sector. I contributed to the success of my family business and understand how government gets in the way. Unlike career politicians who trade favors in Washington, I bring a businessman’s mindset to problem-solving: focused on results, efficiency, and accountability. I don't need the title, and I can’t be bought. I am running to make a real difference, answering only to you- the people of Wyoming. I am proud husband and father of four and my goal is to make Wyoming so prosperous that grandparents and their grandchildren can live here together for decades to come. I love this state and I love this country. Send me to Washington and I'll get er' done for you!

Wyoming is an great state and for me, it's the best state in the union. However, we can always improve and address challenges facing our citizens. On the campaign trail I have heard repeated from Wyomingites that the biggest problem we face is the retention of our young people. They often move out of our state to pursue other opportunities. I want this to change. If elected as a federal lawmaker, my plan is to reduce and cut regulations on our core industries like oil, gas, and coal to open up more jobs overall in the state. This will have a filter out affect, since those jobs will fuel other industries to grow and thrive here. If we add good paying jobs for our young people in a responsible fashion will we will our most valuable asset: our children and our grandchildren.

I believe the biggest problem with healthcare in Wyoming is that Washington has spent decades adding cost and complexity instead of removing it. We have vast rural stretches where families drive hours to see a doctor, and a one-size-fits-all federal approach has never worked here. I think Congress should expand price transparency so patients can see what care actually costs to stop surprise billing, increase competition by letting people buy coverage across state lines, and strengthen options like Health Savings Accounts and association health plans that give individuals and small businesses real choices. I also believe we need to invest in telehealth and support our rural hospitals and critical-access facilities, which are often the only providers for hundreds of miles. The goal is simple: put patients and their doctors back in charge, not bureaucrats and insurance middlemen.

I think there's an important difference between compromising on tactics and compromising on principles. I will never compromise on the things I believe define Wyoming: our energy jobs, our Second Amendment rights, the sanctity of life, and limited government. But I also believe that getting things done for Wyoming means working with anyone willing to deliver results for our state. I spent decades in the conservative movement and in business, and I learned that you build coalitions by being honest about where you stand and finding common ground where it exists. I'll work across the aisle when it helps Wyoming families, and I'll stand firm when Washington tries to run over us.

I believe the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho are an essential part of our Wyoming community, and they deserve a representative who listens like Rep. Hageman has. I think the federal government has too often made promises to tribal communities and failed to keep them, particularly on infrastructure, healthcare, public safety, and economic development. I would work directly with tribal leadership to understand their priorities rather than dictating from Washington, and I'd push the federal government to honor its responsibilities while respecting tribal sovereignty and self-determination. I also believe in expanding economic opportunity on the reservation, including responsible energy and resource development that creates jobs and revenue for tribal members.

I think it's a problem that distant federal agencies control nearly half of our state, often making decisions about Wyoming land without listening to the Wyomingites who live on it, work it, and know it best. I believe the people closest to the land are its best stewards. As your representative, I'll fight for greater state and local input in federal land management decisions, push back on heavy-handed regulations that lock up our land and shut down grazing, energy, and mining, and support transferring management authority closer to home wherever it makes sense. Our public lands belong in public hands; they should be open for ranching, energy production, recreation, and conservation, not closed off by Washington bureaucrats or corporate executives who've never set foot here. Wyoming families deserve a real voice in how this land is used.

I think President Trump has done more to secure our border than any president in my lifetime, and I strongly support the work this administration has done since the start of 2025 to restore order and enforce our laws. I believe a secure border is the foundation of everything else. But Congress can't keep leaving this to executive action that can be reversed by the next administration. I think we need to permanently secure the border in law, finish the job on enforcement, and crack down on the flow of fentanyl and human trafficking that hurts every state, including Wyoming. It is reprehensible that the Biden administration lost track of nearly 250,000 migrant children during its tenure. We need a legal immigration system that actually works for our ranchers, our energy sector, and our small businesses, which depend on a reliable, legal workforce. Wyoming benefits when the rule of law is restored and when Washington finally treats border security as the national priority it is.
