“During my past two years in office, I have advocated on behalf of my district inside and outside of the Wyoming Legislature. I worked with communities across Wyoming to advocate for affordable healthcare access for more than 25,000 Wyomingites. And, because of our efforts, Medicaid expansion passed the Wyoming House for the first time in over a decade. I am proud to have co-sponsored that legislation and I look forward to passing Medicaid expansion soon!” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
