I am a person who is unhappy with the direction this country. The lack of civility and the partisan bickering are not acceptable. I want change. I am a Democrat who thinks President Trump did a better job than President Biden. I liked energy independence, border controls, and low inflation, all of which have disappeared over the past year-and-a-half. I have been a Democrat for most of my life and I am often asked why I am running as a Democrat since I support President Trump. In the past, I thought the Democrats were the more compassionate party.. I spent nine years on the board of an organization that provided free legal services to the poor. I hardly recognize the current Democratic Party and I am advocating for change. Those who are unhappy with the direction of this this country now have a real choice and can make a difference and send a message to the nation. I was married in Cheyenne 44 years ago and my wife and I have lived in Wyoming over 24 years. From 2016 until early 2022 I was a member of the Colorado Springs Independent Ethics Commission and Chairman of the Commission from 2019-2020. I spent over five years as an administrative law judge in Wyoming. I am a UW Law School graduate and I presently work on a limited basis. Both of the main Republican candidates for the U.S. House have at one point attempted to destroy President Trump's political career. The Jan 6 hearings are theatrics at their worst and must come to an end. I pray that God will bless America again.
- Protect our land and water resources in Wyoming, while understanding whatever is done will have a minimal effect on the world's climate. One of the world climate goals is to limit the increase in the earth's temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. My source tells me if everything in the Paris Climate Accord were followed to a tee, the earth's temperature would increase 2.5 degrees Celsius, which is 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Our water is being contaminated with PSAFs and we need to focus on protecting our land and water resources.
- The media is a big part of the problems facing our country. If someone expresses their opinion that the election was probably stolen, that person can be banned from social media. President Biden has activated a disinformation board. What has happened to free speech? Speech should not be limited unless the speech is advocating for immediate violence or is obscene. All of the fake news has resulted in a low level of public confidence in the media. A free press is fundamental but a free and fair press is what is needed. The press often advocates rather than reports and I would consider making it easier to hold media outlets responsible for false reporting.
- Inflation is hurting us all. Increasing energy prices are a big contributor to upward inflationary pressure, along with the massive spending and money printing going on in Washington. We need to become energy independent again, as we were under President Trump. We need to let our fossil fuel producers produce, while also protecting our land and water resources.
We must move the country forward. Many think the last election was stolen and many don't. While I personally think there was likely cheating, if the election was stolen, it was done successfully. Once the states certified their results, once the Supreme Court refused to get involved, and once the Congress certified the states' results, it was over. President Biden was elected president. We now need to move forward. The January 6 hearings are theatrics and simply make the country look weak and divided, thereby empowering our enemies. such as Russia. It should stop. I am passionate about the Jan 6 hearings because I view it as an unprecedented inquisition of a political enemy. Again, the media is complicit in fanning the flames. I do not remember reading any news article reporting on the Jan 6 hearings pointing out that President Trump had suggested calling up 20,000 National Guard troops two days before the protests, as everyone knew a lot of people would be there and many would be angry because they thought the election had been stolen, while also reporting about the five different occasions on January 6 where President Trump pleaded for peacefulness, with four of the five pleas coming before the riot was over and one after. In addition, President Trump took the initiative to send in National Guard Troops on his own as the riot was taking place. The press needs to be fair and present both sides, not simply be a voice for the anti-Trump propaganda. My two cents.
