Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm Stewart McAdoo, running for Wyoming House District 36. I've spent over a decade working in IT and cybersecurity operations, much of it alongside nonprofits and community organizations, work that taught me to listen carefully, focus on facts, and build consensus before acting. Before moving to Wyoming, I served as Director of Technical Operations at a firm helping nonprofits use technology more effectively, and as President and Executive Director of the Walterboro-Colleton Chamber of Commerce in South Carolina. Since relocating to Casper with my wife and two daughters, I've thrown myself into this community, volunteering as a Visit Casper tourism ambassador and supporting local events like the College National Finals Rodeo. I'm running because I want the Wyoming my daughters grow up in to still be the Wyoming that drew my family here: a place with public lands in public hands, real economic opportunity, and communities that take care of each other.

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?

Wyoming's public lands are our way of life, not a line item to sell off. I'll fight against the transfer or sale of federal public lands, support wildlife management guided by science instead of politics, and stand up for the hunting, fishing, ranching, and recreation traditions that define this state.Families shouldn't have to leave Wyoming to build a future. I'll work to grow good local jobs, support small businesses with less red tape, and invest in the infrastructure and housing that let our kids stay and put down roots here.Every Wyoming community deserves access to good healthcare and reliable public safety, no matter their zip code. I'll fight to keep rural hospitals open, support our firefighters, EMS, and law enforcement with the resources they need, and make sure rural Wyoming isn't an afterthought in state policy.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm most passionate about public lands and wildlife conservation, rural economic development, and rural healthcare access. My career has centered on solving problems by listening first and building consensus, and I bring that same approach to policy: gathering the facts, hearing from the people directly affected, and finding practical solutions rather than chasing political wins. Public lands and wildlife are core to Wyoming's identity and economy, and I believe strongly in protecting them from privatization or political interference. At the same time, I want to see Wyoming families thrive economically without having to leave the state to do it, and I believe no family should lose access to healthcare because of where they live.
