“I’ve seen firsthand how a state turns from red to blue.  I know the language, the buzz phrases, and the tactics used to convince people to give up more of our money and liberty for the state to make decisions for us.  This is why my friends and community have asked me to stand up and speak for them to preserve the great place that Wyoming is to live and thrive.  For those who want higher taxes, more government programs, abortion on demand, more gun control, and legalized drugs, Colorado has mountains too.”
