More Than a Slogan — It’s a Challenge

When I say “Be Something Different,” it’s not just a catchy campaign line. It’s a challenge — to myself, to my team, and to Wyoming.

We can’t do something different until we can be something different. That means stepping away from politics as usual — the kind where leaders talk about solutions but never get around to delivering them. It means leading with example before expectation.

Changing the Culture of Leadership

Most politicians try to convince you they’re different because they say different things. But saying different words isn’t the same as living differently.

Being something different means:

• Listening before speaking.
• Owning mistakes instead of covering them up.
• Caring about people more than popularity.
• Making decisions based on principle, not political pressure.

It’s not the easy way. But it’s the only way to build trust again.

Living It on the Campaign Trail

On the trail, I’ve had conversations where I knew my answer might not be the most popular — but it was the truth. I’ve prayed with strangers, listened to their hardest moments, and reminded them that hope isn’t lost just because politics is broken.

I believe leadership means showing people that our faith, our values, and our compassion aren’t for sale.

Why This Matters for Wyoming

Wyoming doesn’t need another politician who will just say what’s popular and then disappear until the next election. We need leaders who will stand for:

• Faith — the foundation for moral leadership.
• Family — the center of healthy communities.
• Freedom — the principle that government exists to serve, not control.
• The Future — building for the next generation, not the next election cycle.

When we embody these values, we don’t just win votes — we win trust.

More Than a Political Talking Point

It’s not enough to promise tax relief, better schools, or more personal freedom. Those can’t just be political talking points — they have to be actions we’re willing to fight for, even when the cameras are off and the crowd has gone home.

That’s why I’m asking Wyoming not just to vote different, but to be different. To live our values in a way that inspires others to do the same.

The Road Ahead

We have a chance to Give Freedom Back — because real freedom doesn’t need permission. But that change starts with us — with our integrity, our courage, and our willingness to be what we say we believe.

Wyoming, let’s be something different — not just in our politics, but in our communities, our families, and our future.
