On the Issues
↑ TopThe 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.
Two business degrees, a minor in accounting, is honors certificate from Northwest College, I have ran several businesses, foster granother at Westside Elementary where I work with special education, CASA officer of the Courts for children who have been removed from the home. I work with many people in the community who need extra support. Executive director of Wyoming normal, on the board of the Allen Foundation working to empower women in Uganda.
What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Wyoming today? As a legislator, how would you address them?
One of the main topics that keeps popping up is property taxes. They want to do away with property taxes but we'll have to tax us some other way keep that income flow. Nobody seems to have a cut and dried answer. I suggest that we legalized recreational cannabis and medical cannabis. All of our money is going to Montana and Colorado for people who want cannabis. The income earned from just sales tax would cover property taxes and much much more. Then the tax would just be on the people who prefer cannabis over medications like opiates. The other issue that keeps coming up is no roads in the wilderness areas. I think we should continue to keep it the way it is we don't want a bunch of trash and people racing through the Wilderness areas that are so pristine. If people want access they can hike in or take their horses in that's why Wyoming is so special now.
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?
Wyoming needs to make Medicaid accessible to all who qualify.
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?
We have a few departments in Wyoming that handle our public lands and watch out for them I suggest that we support them 100%. I do not believe in selling off or trading Wyoming public lands.
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?
Again I would say it's time to legalize cannabis both recreationally and medically. The income generated off the sales tax would more than cover property taxes and much much more without raising any other tax or doing anything extra special. Our money is already going to Montana and Colorado for cannabis we should keep that money in Wyoming. Cannabis is never killed one single person in the history of mankind yet 13 aspirins in your dead.
What role, if any, should the Wyoming Legislature play in economic development?
Economic Development should fall on the economic development Council it's the legislatures role to make sure that it is being overseen in a correct and positive way. Not just people collecting a paycheck and passing grants it needs to be very active and engaged to bring new business to Wyoming.
Explain your values when it comes to campaign donations. Does Wyoming's system for monitoring campaign donations and expenditures need reform?
I have to answer to expenditures and donations for my campaign and they do monitor very closely I think that the system seems to work pretty good although I don't believe in outside money or dark money being involved
