Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports limited government, fiscal responsibility, and greater transparency in budgeting; proposes term limits paired with long-term fiscal rules and public 'plain language' reports showing revenues and spending. Emphasizes accountability, reducing government growth, and publishing clear budget information rather than expanding taxes or major social spending programs.
Healthcare
The candidate emphasizes individual choice and limits on government involvement in medical decisions, framing healthcare decisions as protected personal rights under Wyoming’s constitution and opposing governmental overreach. The campaign materials prioritize protecting personal health-care decision-making and limiting federal/state intrusion rather than proposing expanded public coverage programs.
