Howdy and Happy New Year! Things are starting to heat up as we near the start of 2021’s general legislative session. As is normal, politicians are willing to use any crisis to accomplish their goals. Wyoming’s legislative leadership wants to hold the first part of the critical 2021 General Session online. We need leadership that… Read More »Whatever happened to cowboying up?
Happy Thanksgiving! This year has been bizarre. Despite that, we all have lots to be thankful for, even if things aren’t turning out as you’d expected or wanted. Take time to pray for those that have COVID, including Governor Mark Gordon. I had this miserable disease. It is not something I’d wish on anyone. If… Read More »Happy Thanksgiving (with a side of politics)
Wyoming, we’re in for continued high spending and high tax next two years with the election of new Republican House Leadership.
You may not be aware, but one of the single most consequential events for the next two years in Wyoming is happening this weekend. The newly elected Representative-elects and Senators/Senator-elects are meeting to decide who will fill the legislative leadership roles. I’d urge you to get involved in this momentous choice. Contact your newly elected… Read More »The next step for Wyoming?
Just to put a wrap on the state election, there was a kerfuffle when Wyoming GOP State Chairman Frank Eathorne called for Republicans to ‘Ride for the Brand’, importantly calling out those that misuse all-important Wyoming ‘R’ to win an election. While it’s great to see the fighting spirit and independence in a fellow Republican response, Rod Miller… Read More »Riding for the Republican Brand

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… Read More »A Worthy closing Argument
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… Read More »If you can’t win the argument, trash talk!
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
Rep. Sandy Newsome doesn’t like my endorsement of Nina Webber. In reply, she cherry-picked and posted a few of her votes that agreed with well known conservative Rep. Dan Laursen. As it turns out that is a really bad idea. One of the things you can do with Evidence-Based Wyoming is to compare legislators to… Read More »Newsome’s Cherry Picking
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
