What are your top three legislative priorities if elected to the Wyoming State Senate, and how do you plan to achieve them?
1) Property Tax reform — rollback to valuations based on when a property was built or purchased with limits on annual increases; 2) Working within and outside the Senate office to bring new investment into our rural communities and curtailing state support for projects which bring few economic benefits, few jobs, serve other states and threaten to change Wyoming into another Colorado; 3) Supporting our farmers, ranchers, small businesses and energy industries in fighting state and federal regulations that create operational burdens and unneeded costs.

Tapping private investment in brining more energy, mining, Agtech, agriculture, logistics and light intelligent manufacturing into the state. I will work with and outside of state agencies tapping my network of private equity and venture capital to support entrepreneurs in our rural communities.

Recognize EMS as an essential service in Wyoming and back it with the funds needed, strengthen senior centers and their offerings, require transparent pricing to boost competition, and initiate scholarships for medical students in return for service in Wyoming’s rural areas.

Is there anything else you’d like voters to know about you?
As owner and operator of a cattle and horse ranch, I bring a rancher’s “common sense” coupled with over 25 years experience building, leading and turning around Telecom networks worldwide, and a strong financial background with fiscal conservatism.
