“I’m not saying I’m going to necessarily be able to meet everyone’s expectations in that, but I want to be responsive.” Lawley said both the state and U.S. constitutions begin with the phrase “We the people” and it is important for people to understand they have a role to play. She said when she is in Cheyenne at the Legislature she will not have a lot of time to do a lot of research for her constituents but they can help her and themselves by doing the research on the legislative website, wyoleg.gov.
