This election has been a reasonably brutal one. There is a battle being waged openly for the first time in my memory for the Republican Party’s soul. Last evening as I was trying to sum up this election, David Holland posted a note to his Frontier Republican friends. With David’s permission, I reproduce that engaging and forgiving note below. I cannot sum up the truth of what the...
You know you must be winning an argument when your opponents ignore the debate and go right to the personal attacks. I understand Evidence-based Wyoming Legislative Analysis Tool makes individual legislators angry. Thus, I work hard, removing all possible sources of bias, fixing errors when discovered, and taking full blame when the mistakes lead to publishing incorrect data. I want the tool to...
Forgive me, I’m not particularly eager to stoop to such comments, but that one was too funny not to include. Beware who you vote for down-ballot! The Frontier Republicans and their political action committee the Frontier Conservatives are promoting a slate of candidates for precinct-men and precinct-women in Campbell County. I’d advise you not to vote for any of those candidates...
I’ve received many requests for an Evidence-Based Wyoming Voter Guide. I don’t have a read on all the races. I present this list as my list of must-win candidates for the next legislature. If your district isn’t listed, I don’t know enough about that race to make a recommendation. Wyoming needs change! The current trajectory of spend, spend, and spend will only...
Mark Jennings is the conservative thought leader Wyoming needs. Doug Gerard creator of Evidence-Based Wyoming is proud to endorse Mark Jennings for HD-30. Rep. Jennings has been in the legislature for six years. For each of those six years, Rep. Jennings has been fighting to save Wyoming from higher taxes and out of control government spending. Wyoming is experiencing a conservative awakening...
Liberal Mark Kinner has had his chance and failed. Doug Gerard, the creator of Evidence-Based Wyoming, endorses Ken Pendergraft for HD-29. Ken Pendergraft should earn your vote because: Ken is a conservative who practices what he preaches.Ken understands we need government reform before we do anything else.Ken understands new taxes may close many small businesses.Ken is a staunch Second...
Doug Gerard, the creator of Evidence-Based Wyoming, excitedly endorses Nina Webber for House District-24. Nina Webber is not only the conservative choice; by the numbers, Nina is the Republican choice.
Recently, Tyler Lindholm got taken to task for preventing 2020’s SF-70 from becoming law. He was asked about his role in the fiasco, and his response was a generic deflection that omitted the most critical features of SF-70. Rep. Lindholm was quoted by one of his supporters on Facebook as saying, “SF-70 is being reported as some type of miracle bill...
I emphatically endorse and urge you to vote for Colleen Faber and Del Shelstad for Campbell County Commissioner. They deserve your support. To start, both Faber and Shelstad have been leading the effort to cut spending and prepare Campbell County for the future. That alone is worth giving them four more years. Sure there is much left to be done, and Del Shelstad and Colleen Faber are...
We don’t need legislators with experience. We need legislators to cut spending and reform government. Most of the incumbents running have had more than six years in the legislature. During that exact time span, we’ve have heard of the coming fiscal crisis and the increasing pressure on Wyoming’s budget. Just what are these incumbents going to do differently they haven’t...
