Not Here for the Scripted Show

One of the easiest things to do in politics is to memorize a list of “safe” phrases and repeat them until Election Day. The problem? That’s all some candidates ever offer — a handful of talking points and no real depth behind them.

When I entered this race, I promised myself I wouldn’t be that kind of candidate. And I think Wyoming voters are proving they don’t want that either.

Life Beyond the Soundbite

Over the course of this campaign, I’ve:

• Prayed with a man at Cheyenne’s Super Day who had just lost his wife of 35 years.
• Listened to recovering addicts share their struggles with a system that too often punishes more than it helps.
• Invited people back to church who had walked away years ago, not because I wanted their vote, but because I care about their soul.
• Stood in county commission meetings to defend liberty and question overreach.
• Talked to voters at their kitchen tables about property taxes, education, energy policy, and the need to strip government back to its core purpose.
• Handed out honey peach iced tea while talking about why real freedom doesn’t need permission.

These aren’t staged moments for social media — they’re the heartbeat of my campaign.

The Root of My Message

Faith, Family, Freedom, and the Future aren’t bullet points on my campaign literature — they’re the compass I use every single day.

• Faith — the foundation that shapes my decisions, my priorities, and how I treat people.
• Family — the recognition that strong homes create strong communities, and strong communities create a strong state.
• Freedom — not just in theory, but in practice — protecting property rights, medical choice, and economic opportunity.
• Future — building Wyoming so our kids and grandkids inherit more freedom, not less.

Be Something Different

I’m not here to be the loudest voice in the room or to chase the latest outrage cycle. I’m here to Be Something Different — a leader who listens before deciding, who keeps promises, and who puts people over politics.

That’s why I can have deep, respectful conversations with people who don’t agree with me on everything — because politics should be about solving problems, not drawing battle lines.

More Than a Political Talking Point

It’s easy for politicians to say, “I stand for liberty” or “I believe in the Constitution” — but the real test is in the follow-through.

When I talk about the Wyoming Constitution’s Article 16, about property rights, about resisting overcriminalization, about protecting parental authority — these aren’t applause lines. They’re commitments.

Being more than a political talking point means my campaign is the same in a quiet conversation as it is on a public stage.

The Bottom Line

We can Give Freedom Back — because real freedom doesn’t need permission, but only if we’re willing to move past shallow soundbites and dig into real solutions.

That’s why I’ve spent this campaign talking with people — not at them — and why I’ll keep doing it long after Election Day.

Wyoming, you deserve a governor who is more than a headline, more than a soundbite, and more than a political talking point. You deserve someone who will listen, act, and lead with courage.
