Party: Republican Age: 37 Job: Small-business owner Years in district: 6
Why do you want to represent your district?
I have always felt a calling to serve. I have the ability to listen, cultivate relationships, and work across all party affi liations.
Andrew Byron
Top three priorities in Cheyenne:
Property tax reform
Defending public lands
Building relationships with other legislators for the benefi t of House District 22
Abortions should be a decision the mother has the freedom to make.
Wyoming should continue to strive for excellence in secure elections. The Wyoming Legislature needs to continue to analyze the best possible technology and practice for safe secure elections.
The Legislature needs to immediately pass a bill capping property tax increases at 5% yearly so property owners can forecast and budget accordingly.
The Wyoming Legislature needs to continually analyze funding for education. As we see astronomical increases in property taxes we don’t need to spend more, we need to allocate better. Spending less on administration and more on students.
Should Wyoming have an income tax?
No.
No.
No.
BOB STROBEL
Party: Independent
Age: 47
Job: CEO of SeeJacksonHole, LLC
Years in district: 22
Why do you want to represent your district?
We have an amazing opportunity to bring people together to fi gure out what we agree on and go to bat in Cheyenne. I also feel compelled to give back with my time and service. I want to give to give.
Top three priorities in Cheyenne:
Property tax relief while keeping public schools fully funded
Energy innovation
Protecting our public lands
The Wyoming constitution says: Each competent adult shall have the right to make his or her own health care decisions. I support that.
I believe in the integrity of elections in Wyoming now and applaud our county clerks who do such a good job. In the future we may be able to use blockchain technology so everyone who’s eligible can vote in the security, privacy and safety of their own homes.
Bob Strobel
We don’t need to reinvent the wheel here. There’s been issues like this in other states and we should look at some of those solutions and implement them in order to provide relief to those most impacted such as our longtime residents while still funding our public education system. We should immediately expand and provide more funding for the existing exemption program which now helps some
residents.
Education is our future and we have done a good job with it in Wyoming. It must remain one of our top priorities and I will strongly support whatever steps we must take to achieve that.
Should Wyoming have an income tax?
No.
Yes.
No.
