CHEYENNE, Wyo. — In this edition of “Meet the Candidates,” Marc Torriani shares with Cap City News how he envisions governing Wyoming if elected to the state Legislature. Torriani is one of six people running for Senate District 6.
The following are responses that Torriani shared with Cap City News. To view the Q&As of other candidates who have also submitted answers to us, click here.
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.
What policies do you support to stimulate economic growth and diversify Wyoming’s economy beyond its traditional industries?
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.
What measures would you advocate for to improve healthcare access and affordability for Wyoming residents?
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.
How do you plan to balance Wyoming’s energy production with environmental conservation and sustainability efforts?
Focus on energy and mining production with the smallest land footprints — not solar and wind industrial installations with corresponding high-voltage lines serving other states, destroying landscapes and migration corridors, and killing wildlife.
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.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — “This photo was taken in the evening off of Highway 387,” writes photographer Stormie Dae. “It’s a photo of the sunset with the bighorns and pump jacks. It is wondrous because it shows the beauty and purpose of Wyoming in one picture.”
