Wyoming Secretary of State

Bryan McCarty

Description

Pro democracy. Pro Constitution. Pro actual law and order. Pro finding common ground and working together.

This is very much a ‘contest every race’ campaign. We can’t just hand elections to ‘them’. Just showing up is literally the least we can do.

Democracy itself. Being guided by such things as the constitution, laws, court rulings, facts, reality, and science.

Finding common ground where we can, when we can, and with whom we can. Case in point is land use. I saw where 80% of voting age Wyomingites agree that public lands should remain public. How about let’s work together towards that end, regardless of party affiliation, instead of squabbling over MAGA hot button ‘issues’?

Governing. I’m already educating myself on the responsibilities of the SoS, for the purpose of administering them responsibly for the people of Wyoming, not to advance the agenda of our felon in chief, as the incumbent has stated is his purpose.

Natrona County Democratic Candidates

House District 36

Stewart McAdoo

Description

My main goals are to support our local businesses and workers, the men and women who bring a strengthened economy that spread throughout the community and lift boats for all people. One of the foundational pillars to a successful community is the local economy and I intend to put the men and women of Casper front and center when it comes to policy decisions that are made.

I intend to help make government accountable, by focusing my efforts on keeping transparent and doing what the people of Casper may elect me to do. I am stepping forward to serve, not to make politics a career, to make your community better for all that you represent.

I am not here to grandstand. I am here to roll my sleeves up and put in the work. I am here to serve you as citizens of Casper and represent you on your behalf. While we may not always agree and align, I intend to serve with integrity, honor, and morality front and center.

House District 37

Betsy Erickson

Description

I am running for the Wyoming State House because I believe in truth, integrity, and doing what is right. Too often, laws have been passed that conflict with the Wyoming Constitution. The most important job of a legislator is to uphold our Constitution—and if we can’t do that, then what is the point?

If elected, I will take my oath of office seriously. The people of Wyoming deserve lawmakers they can trust to follow the law and respect our rights.

I love Wyoming. This is my home. I’ve lived here for 36 years, and I’m raising my children here. I can’t sit back and wait for someone else to make Wyoming better—it’s time for me to step up and be part of the solution.

It’s time for the next generation of Wyomingites to take the reins and build the future we want to see. My promise is to represent you with integrity, honesty, and a clear vision for Wyoming’s future.
