Responsible budgeting is one of the most important duties of government. Wyoming has a long tradition of living within its means, and I believe that principle should guide every spending decision. With a degree in Business and Accounting, and years of experience as a Certified Public Accountant, I understand the value of careful financial management.
As Director of WYDOT, I oversaw a budget of more than $850 million while maintaining fiscal discipline and accountability. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the flow of money within large organizations. In the Legislature, I will continue to support balanced budgets, responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and policies that keep government efficient, transparent, and focused on its core responsibilities.
Fiscal responsibility is also about making smart investments that strengthen Wyoming's future without growing government unnecessarily. I will keep regulations practical so businesses can expand and create jobs, encourage economic growth that broadens the tax base, and maintain an efficient, transparent government that focuses on its core responsibilities. By fostering a strong private sector and spending taxpayer dollars wisely, Wyoming can preserve its financial stability while creating greater opportunity for future generations.
