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 decided to run for House District 2 because we need more Conservative voices in
Cheyenne to stand for liberty and maintain the Wyoming way of life. I want my
children and grandchildren to enjoy the same freedoms we have.

I believe that the Sheriff’s Badge is a symbol of public trust and to serve is an honor and a privilege. Serving as Sheriff over the past 12 years there have been many challenges. However, as your Sheriff I will continue to serve and protect citizens, our community and ultimately the Constitution of the United States.
-
I have proven that I will stand up for your individual rights. I am not afraid or intimidated to stand between you and our government.
-
I have worked closely with individual citizens, county and state officials concerning Forest Service Prairie Dog Management Program (lack thereof) and the Travel Management Program.
-
I stood for your individual rights on the Governor’s Mandates during Covid.

Now more than ever, the people of Weston County have concerns about their representation. Serious issues have arisen regarding our commissioners’ ability to communicate with the citizens and the decisions made while representing the county. Ultimately, we must find the root cause of this discord so that we can work together toward a proper solution. Ralph Nader once said, “Secrecy destroys accountability.” Leaders must be accountable for decisions and in turn, take responsibility for their actions. Along with that, the validity of some procedures has been questioned and serious legal actions are ongoing or have taken place. We must find a way to come together with reason and respect so we can continue a positive path going forward.
Cheri Steinmetz WY Senate District 3
phone: 307-534-5342
email: cheri.steinmetz@wyoleg.gov
​
I represent Wyoming State Senate District 3, which includes Goshen, Niobrara, and Weston Counties.
​
Clearly, challenges lie ahead and we are equal to them. As a free people we have the responsibility to decide what kind of country we will live in, what society we will tolerate, and what legacy we will leave our children, grandchildren and all yet to come. As Americans we also have the ability to act upon those decisions. Has there ever been a better time to return to the roots of our Republic, defend our freedom, or unify as One Nation Under God? Now is the time and we are the people.
Like you, I want to make sure Wyoming remains a State where we defend the foundations on which our faith, freedom, and prosperity rest. Our children, our families, our way of life, and our State are worth fighting for.

Chip Neiman WY House District #1
phone: 307-290-0366
email: chip.neiman@wyoleg.gov
​
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.

​
Garrett’s decision to run for a seat as a Weston County Commissioner is driven by concerns arising from the current political environment from Federal to County issues. Garrett is choosing to be a part of the solution. Garrett’s areas of concern include:
-
Government Over Reach
-
Unconstitutional Government Activity
-
Budget Concerns and Sustainability
-
Public School Mandates
Garrett will fight for what is right and just, as he did when he filed for a Declaratory Judgement against a sitting Weston County Commissioner that chose to move out of our county while refusing to resign his position. He firmly believes in communicating and working towards resolutions.
Garrett Borton’s heart, family, and livelihood are solidly planted in Weston County. The future of all these things are tied together and equally dependent on God and the betterment of Weston County, two things Garrett will serve Faithfully.
