Op-Eds

While America is experiencing a renaissance under President Trump’s leadership, our nation’s capital remains trapped in Biden-era decline.

We recently reached the 200-day mark of the new congressional session, and I am proud to reflect on Republicans’ remarkable progress in delivering results for the American people.

There has been an awful lot of misinformation in recent days about a proposal by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to instruct the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service (USFS), in conjunction with states, local governments, and Indian tribes, to identify certain federal lands for potential sale to address local housing and other community needs.

It’s not that hard to connect the dots, because it’s all right there. 

Economic hardships brought on by the policies of the Biden Administration have left many Wyomingites in a lurch.

While we await the resurgence of the U.S. economy, I hear regularly from many across the Cowboy State expressing that they are financially strapped and in need of reprieve.

If you want proof that the Trump administration is a vast improvement over Joe Biden’s presidency, we need only look to our Southern Border – according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, daily border encounters are down by 93 percent, gotaway encounters are down 95 percent, and migrant crossings are down a whopping 99.99 percent.

Wyoming is on the front lines of wildlife management. We enjoy a rich diversity of some of America’s most iconic species, yet we also directly witness how federal bureaucracy ties our hands and prevents local leaders from managing the wildlife in and around our communities. Look no further than the overgrown Greater Yellowstone Grizzly population.

I have battled a variety of federal agencies for over two decades, first as a private attorney working on behalf of the state of Wyoming and small businesses, and currently as Wyoming’s lone representative in the U.S. House.
