Political Experience:
Appointed to vacancy in the Wyoming Senate in 2004
Served on the Senate Ag and Water Committees

Served as Vice-Chair 2004-Present
Laramie County Development Citizens Steering Committee
Lobbyist on sexual assault issues, education issues and veterans bills
Updated the Veterans Property Tax Exemption Bill, 2007
Political Objectives:
- Increase Wyoming’s Pipeline capacity so our State will gain over $4500million a year in discounted royalties and severance taxes, which is presently being lost due to the pipeline bottleneck.
- Since water is our life-blood in the west, we need to plan now for availability tomorrow. We also need a study across our state to determine the rate of ground water replenishment and consumption, in order to be proactive instead of reactive in critical areas. We MUST defend Wyoming’s water rights and not concede.
- Enact legislation to establish a permanent Highway Trust Fund for safer, more efficient Wyoming roads and highways.
- We must address issues affecting run-away health care costs. I would like to establish a 24-hour a day health care hotline which could be accessed statewide and which would help reduce the number of emergency room visits made by people who have nowhere else to turn for healthcare answers. These emergency room visits are often covered by taxpayers. We must also find solutions improve and increase home health care services for seniors so they can stay in their own homes longer, thus reducing the costs associated with assisted living and nursing home care (again taxpayers foot a large portion of these costs with Medicare and Medicaid); plus there have been numerous studies showing seniors would prefer to stay in their own homes. To do this, the University of Wyoming and community colleges must increase the number of student slots in their nursing programs. The demand for home health nurses will soon exceed what our nursing programs are able to produce.
- Electronically accessible legislative voting records must not be postponed any longer. Our citizens deserve to know how their legislators vote.
- Always work within a balanced State budget
