Wyoming’s public lands are a core part of our identity and way of life. They sustain our economy and serve as our outdoor heritage that generations of families have come to value. As a hunter and avid outdoorsman who has long supported Wyoming’s outdoor traditions, I recognize the duty we share to safeguard both our communities and the lands we depend on.

I believe Wyoming is well positioned to set an example by uniting landowners, local communities, and industry to develop practical approaches that respect private property rights while still ensuring responsible access to public lands. We can maintain strong opportunities for hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation while keeping decision-making grounded in common sense and the needs of Wyoming residents.
