My grandfather homesteaded in Niobrara County in 1920 and my family moved to
Weston County in 1973, where I have lived ever since. My whole life I have been a
rancher with strong ties to the land. My wife Ann and I have raised 9 children here
and know that we are blessed to live in Wyoming where freedom is still a way of life.
I was so honored to get the opportunity to serve you in the Wyoming Legislature these last two years and I have worked very hard to make sure I continue to stand for liberty and maintaining the Wyoming way of life. I am asking for your vote again to ensure that my children and grandchildren - and yours - get to enjoy the same freedoms we have.
Chip Neiman for WY House District #1

Chip Neiman is a life-long resident of Crook County, Wyoming. He and his wife Joni make their home near the base of Devils Tower in heart of District 1. Working in agriculture his entire life, Neiman has a deep understanding of doing all that you can with resources you’ve been given.
“My parents went through the Great Depression and raised me with this ideal, ‘Don’t spend what you don’t have and always improve without compromising your future.'”
Neiman has watched as politicians, at every level, continue to waste the taxpayer’s money and understands that a government who does the things it shouldn’t do is incapable of doing those things that it should. With this in mind he’s stepping into the political arena in order to represent District 1 with Conservative values.

Don Taylor for Weston County Commissioner
It has been an Honor to serve the people of Weston County as your Commissioner and Chairman.
I believe all elected officials are to serve their constituents and not make themselves above the people they should be serving.
Transparency , Morals , Common Sense , and accountability serve as my first priorities.
Openminded and able to admit when I have made a mistake to the people I serve, but also committed to asking the question no one else does because I am fighting for what's right, not what's right for only me.
I am proud to have received a resolution or praise from the Weston County Republican Party for keeping my word and doing what I have promised.
As Chairman, I helped bring back Prayer to our commissioner meetings and I set up meetings in Upton, an important part of Weston County, so that their ideas can be shared to Commissioners and help bond all Weston communities.
Fought for better dispatching service - one that can help save lives quicker with state-of-the-art communications and run by all entities in county, not controlled by just one.
Made sure that Weston County employees got raises BEFORE part time Elected Officials Do! No raises to commissioners during my first term in office.
Worked to make sure Everyone who could not attend meetings had access that worked to see meetings through Teams.
Helped Make Weston County a second amendment sanctuary.
I promise to stay engaged with the community not just at election time attending events as much as I can so that I can keep a pulse on what community needs are. I am aggressive but very loyal to the people I serve and will fight for what's right even against what the crowd does but willing to learn and change if there's a better way.
Henry Nessul for Weston County Commissioner
Two years ago it was for budget and spending - public safety... That still is on reason... This race I add: Weston needs revenue, not new taxes and fees.
I want to diversify our Business/Industry base would bring in employment and thus revenue for Weston. We need to speed up government processes. With the speed of today’s electronic and industrial developments, government is staying way behind in planning and our ability to benefit from new technology and industries. Weston needs to become partners in economic planning with the cities, towns and regions.
Tourism planning – Weston needs a draw and implant a desire in tourists to stop, stay and play.
Educational – Cities with Colleges, Tech Schools and other institutions, where students are in residence, bring money to the community where they learn.
These are just a few of many things that can help Weston with revenue. Public Safety is always foremost on my mind too.
