Immigration & border

How would you improve the federal immigration system?

The previous administration’s open border policy directly resulted in the deaths of Americans and wreaked havoc on almost every aspect of our lives. I have spoken with parents who lost children to fentanyl overdoses, whose daughters were brutally raped and murdered by criminal illegal aliens, and whose schools are becoming less governable by the day because of non-english-speaking students. I am fighting to get untrained and illegal truck drivers off our roads, and prevent non-english speaking drivers from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. A country without borders is no country at all. A closed border is necessary for the safety and security of any nation. Those wishing to immigrate into the United States should enter legally.

Health care

What measures would you support to improve access to and affordability of health care services in Wyoming?

I am proud to have secured more than $205 million for Wyoming health care through the Rural Health Transformation Program to strengthen care and access across our state. The deliverability of rural health care should always be considered in any nationwide reform considered by Congress. I will continue to advocate for strengthening Wyoming’s healthcare system in the United States Senate.

Energy & environment

Do you support or oppose the sale or exchange of public lands? Please explain.

The long-term preservation of our public lands remains a core component of our national identity that I will always be proud of as a 4th generation Wyomingite. I also believe many of our public lands hold the solutions to a plethora of problems that impact the west today such as limited economic opportunities for rural communities and a severe shortage of affordable housing. I have never supported mass land sales and have instead supported addressing the impact of the large federal footprint in our state where roughly half the land is under federal jurisdiction. Such policies have included dealing with the federal regulatory burden that constrains access and undermines congressionally mandated multiple use of our federal lands.

Jobs, wages & cost of living

What federal legislation would you support to lower the cost of living for Wyoming citizens?

The historic One Big Beautiful Bill signed by President Trump last year was designed to deliver dividends for generations of Americans who will carry on the next 250 years of our country. Last year’s reconciliation package gave Wyoming residents more tax relief than any other state in the country, with an average reduction of nearly $5,500. I will continue to support additional tax breaks for Wyoming families similar to those passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill, which included a permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit, a $10,000 tax break on loans for cars made in America, and the elimination of federal taxes on tips and overtime. I will also continue to champion legislation to unleash Wyoming’s full energy and mineral potential.

Background & priorities

Why are you running for this office? Describe the experience and skills that make you the most qualified candidate.

I practiced as a water, natural resources and constitutional trial attorney for over 30 years, defending private property rights, fighting bureaucratic overreach and working on policy for a variety of clients. I represented the State, farmers, ranchers, municipalities, counties, trade organizations, and small businesses, among others. I was elected to Congress in 2022, and serve on the Judiciary and Natural Resources Committees including as chair of the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries. I have secured more than $40 million for local infrastructure throughout the State. We have also returned $16 million directly to Wyoming businesses and individuals through case work. I have passed 41 legislative wins over my 3 ½ year tenure.
