I’m Joseph Kibler — a devoted husband to my incredible wife, Charity, and proud dad to our three amazing kids. We live just outside Cheyenne, where life still has room to breathe and values still mean something.

I’m running for Governor of Wyoming because I believe in getting to the root of the problem, not piling on more bloated bureaucracy. Wyoming doesn’t need more legislation, more red tape, or more permission slips from the government. What we need is real leadership and real solutions — the kind built on principle, not politics.

So, who am I?

I’m a Christ follower, a husband, a dad, a business owner, a friend, and yes — a guy with maybe too many hobbies and side hustles. I wear a lot of hats, but at the heart of it all is a calling to serve.

I grew up at a Christian camp, where I learned the power of faith, hard work, and showing up for others. In 2002, I launched a website and marketing business that’s still going strong today. Along the way, I spent nearly 20 years as a Paid Call Firefighter — 15 of those as a company officer — responding to thousands of emergencies, leading through chaos, and learning what it really means to put others first.

I’ve worked as a facilities manager, an operations director, a chief operations officer, CEO, missions leader — and I’ve served — mowed more lawns and scrubbed more toilets than I can count. And I’m better for it.

My experience isn’t confined to a boardroom or a campaign stage — it’s been forged in the field, under pressure, through service, sweat, and a deep belief that freedom doesn’t need permission.

I’m stepping into this race not to build a political career — but to Give Freedom Back to the people of Wyoming. We’re tearing it all back to the studs and rebuilding a government that works for the next generation, not just the next election.

If that sounds like the kind of future you believe in — come walk with me.

Let’s give freedom back — because real freedom doesn’t need permission.
