Solutions Over Drama: Standing Up for Public Education

As I’ve been knocking on doors and visiting with neighbors across House District 51—from Dayton and Ranchester to Big Horn and Sheridan—I’ve heard a resounding stand of support for our local public schools, both SCSD#1 and SCSD#2. I completely agree. Having spent 30 years working closely with Wyoming’s higher education and economic development sectors, I know firsthand that a thriving public education system is not a political issue; it is a community obligation and the ultimate engine for our workforce and economy. Protecting the integrity of our classrooms, investing wisely in our students, and ensuring our dedicated educators have the tools they need to succeed are top priorities for my campaign.

Fixing a state budget or modernizing a funding structure to support our schools isn’t rocket science—it takes data-driven solutions, not political drama. Because of this unwavering commitment to pragmatic, steady leadership for our students and teachers, I am incredibly honored to announce that my track record has been recognized by those on the front lines of education:

“On behalf of the Wyoming Education Association Political Action Committee for Education (PACE) Council, I am pleased to inform you that you have been endorsed as a candidate for the Wyoming State Legislature in the PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTIONS of 2026. The WEA PACE Council carefully evaluates candidates based on their support for public education and the issues affecting Wyoming students, educators, schools, colleges and communities. Congratulations on earning the endorsement of WEA PACE and being recognized as a pro-public education candidate for public office.”

Earning this recognition as a pro-public education candidate is a true honor. When you send me to Cheyenne as your next Representative, I will carry this endorsement as a promise to always bring a disciplined, practical approach to standing up for House District 51’s families, teachers, and future generations.
