Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Jobs & Economic Development: People need jobs to support themselves, their families, and to enjoy the best Wyoming has to offer. I seek economic growth and diversification and I am running to work toward a Wyoming that offers more job and career opportunities to future generations than were available to me when I graduated from Wyoming’s schools and entered the workforce.Education: Education is an economic issue. More and better options for education and job training are necessary for Wyoming to experience improved living standards and job opportunities. I support, not only the traditional public schools, but also expanding school choice options for elementary, secondary, post-secondary, a technical and trade schools.Health care access is an essential component of a quality standard of living. However, some regions in Wyoming are experiencing diminishing access to healthcare. This trend needs to reverse in order for people and communities across Wyoming to thrive and prosper.
