Then comes the hard decisions and what makes the jobs so difficult and demanding. You get the grand opportunity to hear the concerns and needs of every citizen or agency in your specific jurisdiction. Once elected you represent all of the citizens in the Precinct, City, County, State and Nation you are elected in. The Republican Party to me is an honorable institution that is based on conservative values, fair play in politics, and supporting what is good and honorable for all of society, not just the voting base that you were elected by. I am saying we need to be unified in our vision that the Republican Party and its conservative values are the best way to govern our Great Nation and State. I am not speaking of being robots that all walk, talk and think alike. Only with a party that is unified and singular in our vision. Goals should be set high enough to stretch us, while at the same time be attainable. Honesty in campaigning is of the utmost importance.

Where personal attacks will not be tolerated, where campaigns are based on the positive attributes of the candidate, not the negative fear generating tactic of, the world will come to an end if you vote for the other Republican. I choose the Big Tent, where every Republicans voice is welcome, where issues can be debated in a civil and respectful manner, where you have to check your bully weapons at the door and debate every issue on its merits. Will we be an inclusive party that supports and encourages Republicans to get involved with civic engagement at every level of our political process?

Why, you may ask? Because we have the opportunity to show what we stand for and what we are made of.Īre we the Big Tent party that President Reagan spoke of or are we the party that wants a purity test to prove how Republican we are. Probably the most exciting time in our history. It is a wonderful time to be a Republican. ***For All Things Wyoming, Sign-Up For Our Daily Newsletter***
