Election Q&A: Laurie Longtine for Wyoming House District 59

CASPER, Wyo. — As the Aug. 18 primary election approaches, Oil City News is introducing candidate questionnaires to help voters make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Every candidate in the primary field was sent the same three questions and given a limit of 500 words, which could be distributed among their answers as they saw fit. To ensure a fair and direct line to the community, all responses are published exactly as submitted, without edits or alterations.

Candidates were asked:

What are the most crucial challenges your constituents are facing?
If elected, how will you address these challenges?
What qualities or qualifications do you possess that have prepared you to meet these challenges?

Questionnaires are being published on a rolling basis online through Aug. 11. They will be accessible via the Oil City News Election Tracker.

Additionally, Oil City News will mail a comprehensive print voters guide directly to all Natrona County households in mid-July, featuring all questionnaires received by July 6.

Laurie Longtine (D), Wyoming House District 59

What are the most crucial challenges your constituents are facing?

Working families in Natrona County have the same concerns as families throughout the country. Families want to ensure their children are safe, healthy, and well educated. Right now, reductions in revenue are affecting all three of these issues.

If elected, how will you address these challenges?

I will work tirelessly to ensure the public schools that educate our children are fully funded, that working families have access to affordable healthcare, and that counties and municipalities have the necessary revenue to provide the services we all depend on in our communities.

What qualities/qualifications do you possess that have prepared you to meet these challenges?

I have worked in various management roles in a broad variety of businesses. Currently I volunteer with several organizations and have held leadership roles in the different clubs and organizations I have been part of over the years.
