Hey there, I’m Joseph Kibler, and I’m running for Governor of Wyoming in 2026.
Now, I didn’t wake up one morning and say, “You know what sounds fun? Taking on the entire education and legislative system!” But here we are—because someone has to.
Public education is a mess— this isn’t a secret and not because of our great teachers. The failure is at the top: the federal government, state leadership, and local school bureaucracies.
Wyoming prides itself on rugged independence, innovation, and doing things the right way—not just the easy way.
I like you am tired of our kids eduction being used like constant political pawns.
But when it comes to education, we’ve settled for a system that’s outdated, ineffective, and more focused more on bureaucracy than actual learning.
It’s time for true reform—not more band-aid policies that fail to address the root of the problem.
The Real Problem with Our Education System
Our schools aren’t failing because of bad teachers—they’re failing because of bad systems.
Our kids are graduating unprepared for the real world because schools are more focused on test scores, funding formulas, and compliance checklists than on actually educating. Education should be about preparing students for life—not just pushing them through the system.
The real issue isn’t just who is teaching—it’s what we’re teaching, how we’re teaching, and why education has become more about control than success.
1-4 focused reading, writing, math with after school programs that focus on fun opportunities to explore the world and find what they are personally interested in.
5th-8th continues the Focus on core competencies—reading, writing, math and adds science, history, and practical life skills.
No more fluff, no more wasted time.
Students explore their areas of interest—whether that’s skilled trades, STEM, medical fields, business, or creative industries.
If a student wants to be a welder, mechanic, or entrepreneur, they graduate workforce-ready with the skills to succeed.
If they want to go to college, they enter prepared for higher-level learning, not just repeating what they learned in high school.
No more “college for the sake of college.” College should be for specialization, not extended high school.
We need a moral compass in our schools again—not just memorizing equations, but learning character, work ethic, and the values that built Wyoming.
Education should inspire and prepare, not just funnel kids into the system for the sake of funding.
Wyoming Deserves Better. Our Kids Deserve Better.
We don’t fix education by slapping together temporary solutions or public experiments that don’t address the core issues.
We fix it by rebuilding the system to actually prepare kids for success in the real world.
Is this really what’s best for our kids?
I believe in strengthening our schools—not stripping them down.
I believe in giving students real opportunities—not just forcing everyone down the same outdated path.
I believe in putting faith, values, and excellence back into education—not just checking bureaucratic boxes.
Wyoming can lead the way. We don’t have to follow broken models. We can create something better.
That’s what I stand for. That’s why I’m running.
