You can’t spell RINO without Frontier

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… Read More »You can’t spell RINO without Frontier

Evidence-Based Wyoming’s Voter Guide

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… Read More »Evidence-Based Wyoming’s Voter Guide

HD-29 Vote for Ken Pendergraft

Liberal Mark Kinner has had his chance and failed. Doug Gerard, the creator of Evidence-Based Wyoming, endorses Ken Pendergraft for HD-29.

Rep. Lindholm, when you’re in a hole, STOP DIGGING!

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… Read More »Rep. Lindholm, when you’re in a hole, STOP DIGGING!

Don’t fall for the ‘experience’ canard

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… Read More »Don’t fall for the ‘experience’ canard

How does your legislator vote?

  • Politics
  • 3 min read

It’s an age-old question, and you’ll see many rankings, surveys, and analyses of a legislator’s actions. Unfortunately, most of these rankings inject the bias of the organization into the ranking. Wouldn’t it be better if there was a way to figure out a legislator’s preferences without bias, more like a science experiment? That’s where Evidence-base… Read More »How does your legislator vote?

Why do we hold primaries?

I had an interesting exchange over my endorsement for Chip Neiman. Shari Gose, a reader, took issues with my choice and the manner in which I called out Tyler Lindholm. She opined that my support was somehow paid for, implying nefarious motives. Those familiar with Evidence-Based Wyoming know that I am its creator and sole… Read More »Why do we hold primaries?
