ave future generations with less opportunity and prosperity than our ancestors left us. I salute every candidate whether they won or lost because they cared enough about their community to put themselves and their beliefs on the line. Intense public scrutiny is not an easy thing to bear. My congratulations to Senator Barrasso and Representative Lummis on their re-election. They earned it. Wyoming has a strong team and we will continue to advocate for less government and more sustainable spending along with responsible domestic energy production.

hecked by the legislative branch. Our country’s founders gave Congress the “power of the purse.” The Senate and House should right the ship no matter what party controls the White House. Using the committee system and considering legislation as it should be considered would go a long way. It would put a stop to a lot of partisanship, some of which is simply frustration from leaders preventing members from legislating.
