I firmly believe the 23 planks of the Wyoming Republican Party’s platform can save Wyoming and America.
I traveled to Cheyenne five weeks in a row during Wyoming’s 68th Legislative Session, and I testified on the following bills pertaining to voter integrity, paper ballots, selection of election judges, drop boxes, and gun-free zones.
HB0321 – Election judge selection
HB0172 – Repeal gun free zones and preemption amendments
HB0131 – Ballot drop boxes-prohibition
HB0195 – Credit reporting-medical debt
HB0215 – Prohibition on electronic voting equipment
SF0040 – Zoning protest petition-amendments. Please click here for a column I wrote in the Cowboy State Daily (Democrat Senator Mike Gierau tried to limit a citizen’s ability to protest to a new development, similar to what happened here in Teton County when we tried to protect our Western Heritage. Under Speaker Nieman and Representative John Bear, we fought back and added an important amendment to the bill. On February 28th it was voted down when Senate Leadership sided with the two Democrats in office.)
I have spent a lot of time this session trying to end an unconstitutional policy in Teton County before it spreads around the rest of the state. If you build a house or guest house in Teton County that is larger than a certain size, you have to kick in on other people’s housing as a condition of building on your own property. If you develop land, a certain percent (sometimes up to 70%!) goes to others in the form of work force and low-income housing.
According to the Wyoming Constitution, Article 1, Section 33 states:“Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public or private use without just compensation.”
The fourth plank of the Wyoming Republican Platform states: “The pursuit by an individual to rightfully acquire, keep and enjoy his own property is foundational. Every individual has the right to develop his own potential, to use and enjoy his own property, tangible or intellectual, and pursue his own interests, free from restrictions of arbitrary force. Individuals are always presumed to be the best stewards of their property.”
Here is another Letter to the Editor I recently wrote on the topic of protecting private property rights.
I have been a President Trump supporter from the very beginning, and I want to make Wyoming the energy capitol of the world. I also support his plan to secure our borders. I especially appreciate Congresswoman Harriet Hageman alerting the public to the fact that Teton County Sheriff Matt Carr released over 100 illegal immigrants back into our community even though ICE placed a retainer on them. Bad policies like this have got to end.
Here are some of my plans when elected chairwoman of the Wyoming Republican Party:
Chairman Eathorne and our current GOP board have done an excellent job turning a uni-party into the Republican party. They have also activated and supported the grassroots, and I plan to continue this work.
I will also work hard to help implement the 23 planks of the Wyoming Republican Party into action, policy and legislation around our great state.
As a Mother of four daughters ages 5 – 14, it is extremely important for me to get the youth involved.
I want to get more precinct people involved in the party. Many times during this last election when I asked trusted conservatives to run for their precinct, I was told they did not know what this position entails. This has got to change.
I have the time and resources to travel around the state to attend county meetings, meet with donors and fundraise, and participate in important events that affect all Republicans in Wyoming. I want to recruit great platform candidates and grow the party to include all Republicans.
Here are some editorials I have written in the past:
- Here is an article about the stimulus spending Cowboy State Daily Article.
- I wrote this when I noticed the goalposts kept being moved in regards to the coronavirus epidemic Casper Star Tribune Article.
- I wrote this in hopes of getting Wyoming back to work during the coronavirus epidemic Casper Star Tribune Article.
It would be my honor to come meet with any central committee members around the state and share my ideas. Please call or email me anytime.
