Pro Legacy, Blue Collar, Wyoming Industry
“I am a firm supporter of Agriculture, Oil & Gas, Coal, Logging, and Mining. Food and energy independence are the two most important things that are needed for our country to survive despite what is going on around the world. I will always support these industries. They are the backbone of our country’s freedom. They don’t impact wildlife corridors, and actually increase productivity of the land. The Federal overreach in all of these industries is destroying Wyoming!”
