‍
Reintroduce,
Educate,
Affordability,
and Law.

“I am proud to be a Wyomingite and want to represent us, the people of Wyoming.” Kinney said. “I believe in the Cowboy Code of the West—honesty, hard work and helping your neighbor.”

Kinney has created a diverse campaign committee and considers the minds of the people of Wyoming important to question in making future beneficial decisions for Wyoming.

I truly love Wyoming. I was born as a third-generation person in Wyoming. My mother and father were born in Wyoming.

I will talk for the people of Wyoming who we seem to have forgotten, the common working class. We know what the rich class is because we see it every day in Wyoming. That being said, I will not ask for your money. I will run to support all people in Wyoming, every one of you. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor.

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.

Under my Leadership education will not be politicized to the detriment of our students. Every student will receive a quality education in collaboration with Wyoming teachers, the administration, and community input. Wyoming education must not be party-centered but STUDENT CENTERED, STUDENT FOCUSED, with the ultimate goal of affording our students a positive and progressive future.

Our children today, their children and beyond should have an opportunity to enjoy and bask in the richness of an equitably distributed education.

The superintendent must serve as the teachers’ teacher…I know I’m a very good teacher. I’ve been blessed with that talent.

Sergio believes in: local control; public funds for public schools only; education evenly and equitably distributed with love to every child regardless of age, gender, race, class, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

My name is Candace Machado and I’m running for Natrona County Commissioner this year.

Yes, you may have heard I’m running as a Democrat! Don’t let that sway your decision about me though. It’s not a word behind the name that makes a person a great candidate. It’s the person, their drive, their determination, their energy, their motivation, their willingness to understand all sides, and their commitment to the position.

I have an associates degree in Psychology, bachelors degree in Psychology, Masters degree in Social Work. I went to college for 7 years with an additional 3 years of certifications to include trauma informed care, School Social Work, Ayurveda Eastern practices, Communications, Yoga, Meditation, Government and Policy.

I have spent the last 20 years working in various fields to include: Substance use facilities, psychiatric hospitals, private practice, marketing, business, school districts, prison settings, and non profits.

I currently own Theraexpressions Meditation and have been the owner for the last 11 years. Theraexpressions Meditation. We focus on person empowerment through mental health support and self reflective guidance. We focus on the whole person through yoga, meditation, and nervous system resets. Being a small business owner in Natrona has been the highlight of my career and has helped shape me as an individual. No greater joy than to see others smiling and working on themselves!

I have sat on and been a part of American Cancer Society, and National Alliance on Mental Illness Casper boards, suicide prevention, along with the Governors Mental Health Council discussions.

The last almost 5 1/2 years I had served on Evansville town council, voted in as Council President, and became the Mayor. Under my mayoral time of 21 months, with the help of others, We secured a 9 million dollar grant for Mesa Energy, Finished the 1 million dollar park playground! I spent time actually building parts of that playground. Finished the towns very first animal shelter. Worked on and put into effect code of ethics for elected officials, supported peer to peer employee mental health services and trainings, supported the start of Casper Senior center food bank in Evansville with community services kick off, continued discussions about the towns water rights, kept a balanced budget with savings in the accounts, supported good town employee benefits, continued the side walk projects, testified on women’s rights and squatters laws, and I was the first town mayor who visibly created diversity and inclusion for the community. These are just a few things that were completed during my time as a Mayor.

I was once told I have more energy than 90 percent of people and if I look back on my time I have managed to get a lot done in a short amount of time. At times it came with scrutiny and it wasn’t easy but above all it turned into progress.

I look forward to bringing that same motivation and energy into this campaign season. Vote for me for Natrona County Commissioner!

Machado believes in: Citizen Involvement; Protecting Public Lands; Community Mental Health Resources; Government Transparency; Economic Development; Human Rights; Diversity and Collaboration Across Parties; Affordable Housing Resources; Fiscal Responsibility

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.

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.

My name is Lucas Colgrove. I’m running for Wyoming House District 57.

I’m running for House District 57 because the 70% of eligible voters who stay home aren’t absent. They’re waiting. Waiting for someone who actually pays attention. Waiting for a representative who won’t forget their name. Waiting for a reason to believe that their voice matters.

I’ve lived in Casper my whole life. I’ve run sound at your events. I’ve organized cleanups in your neighborhoods. I’ve thrown block parties where half the street showed up because someone lit a grill and the music was loud enough to find. That’s how I know people here. Not through a mailing list. Through showing up.

This campaign is built around you, my neighbors.

The 70% aren’t absent. They’re waiting. Let’s give them a reason to show up.

I’m running for House District 58 because I believe in empowering a new generation to put Wyoming First and move Wyoming Forward. We need a Wyoming vision of progress, principles, and passion in politics.

I believe in listening to the community and in fighting for people-centered solutions.

I believe in accountability and looking out for those among us who are struggling.

I recognize that issues are rarely simply black and white, and understanding nuance is required to make real change last.

That is why I believe in telling the truth as I understand it — always.

I’m committed to working on real, lasting solutions that move our state forward, not throwing out buzzwords and empty promises to see what sticks.

That is why I believe in practical leadership.

This is what real representation looks like. Pushing the needle while staying true to who and what matters — you, your interests, and Wyoming’s future.

Decisions are made by those who show up. Whether or not you decide to vote for me in this race, if elected, I will always do what is right for you.
