January 1, Wyoming Candidate Warns State Risks Turning Into Colorado By Ignoring Core Issues

Wyatt’s Take

• Wyoming voters are being warned that straying from practical kitchen-table concerns could turn their state into another Colorado.
• The candidate stresses putting people before party labels in order to keep taxes low and communities safe.
• Traditional values and local control remain the best defense against radical policies spreading from neighboring states.

A conservative running for governor in Wyoming is sounding the alarm that the state could drift left if leaders forget the everyday issues that matter most to working families.

“We have to put the person above the party,” the candidate said.

The warning comes as some lawmakers push policies that have already driven up costs and crime in Colorado, policies that many Wyoming residents fear would erode the state’s rural way of life.

Instead of chasing trendy ideas from the coasts, the candidate argues Wyoming must stay focused on energy jobs, border security, and protecting the Second Amendment.

“We have to put the person above the party,” the candidate repeated, underscoring that loyalty to voters comes before loyalty to political insiders.

Supporters say the message resonates in rural counties where families have watched Colorado change rapidly under progressive leadership.

By sticking to bread-and-butter policies like affordable energy and strong schools, Wyoming can avoid the same path of rising taxes and government overreach.

Heartland families understand that real leadership means keeping promises on jobs, safety, and freedom instead of chasing the latest political fashion.
