Cowboy State Politics
Conservative politics from Wyoming and the nation. The media doesn’t report the truth and they are always playing for the left. Politicians lie and it’s my job to prove it. The only way that we set our country back to Constitutional principles is by exposing those who are trying to destroy it.

Ogden Driskill made a shocking statement in his Newcastle debate with Chip Neiman. He said that we should have an abortion exception if the baby "isn't going to be a good one." Driskill has debated the issue of abortion numerous times in the legislature and knows how delicate of a topic that is. For him to make such a flippant remark is astounding. Right before he said that, he claimed to be pro-life.

Marilyn Connolly claims to be conservative and has been a Republican for a long time. But her votes don't line up with that at all. Often, Connolly voted right along side the Democrats on many of the same bills she lists in a recent advertisement.
A recent spending analysis on HB0001 reveals who the big spenders in the House of Representatives are. The top 10 might surprise you. A hint: it's BILLIONS with a B.
Eric Barlow has a terrible record when it comes to illegal immigration. He has consistently voted against bills that would ban sanctuary cities and bills that would restrict your money going to illegal aliens. But it was the Cow Pie's defense of Barlow's record that caught my eye. Why would Barlow all the sudden vote to restrict tax money going to aliens? The answer, he really didn't.
The biggest spenders in the last session are the same people that AFP is claiming are small government folks. Julie Jarvis voted to spend over $1.244 BILLION. That's BILLION with a B. Marilyn Connolly voted for $1.241 BILLION. While the conservatives averaged $28.5 MILLION. Million with a M and not a B. Spending isn't AFP's only problem. Its biggest one is hypocrisy--especially their state director Tyler Lindholm.
Laurie Bratten sat down in the studio to discuss her re-election campaign for House District 51. One of her main focuses has been on codifying transparency in government. While you can go online and see Wyoming's checkbook, that's not in law. The next administration could do away with it. Also, Bratten wants to make sure you have access to the budgets and audits of your government. It was a wide ranging discussion...
Jim Corkery is running for the Wyoming Senate in District 27 in Casper. I sat down with him at David Street Station in Casper. He's a pro-life catholic in a race with 2 Redocats: Kevin Helling and Macia Neumiller. Corkery and I talked about the importance of being pro-life, his stance on business and lots more.
Myca Sturtevant is running for House District 29. She claims to be a Republican but is campaigning on government run healthcare and so-called affordable housing. Not exactly Republican ideas. Also, she says that even though she's running as a Republican, she's not going to follow the GOP platform. What's even more revealing is she says she is an advocate for small government while advocating for big government prog...
The Wyoming GOP lawsuit against the state is absolutely correct. The government does NOT get to dictate who can speak and who has to keep quiet. Every other private organization can endorse candidates and spend money on their behalf but not political parties. However, just because a political party can doesn't mean they should always endorse candidates. There is a fine line, but that should be up to them not the s...
Karen Weber is running to replace Scott Smith in House District 5. She says her main focus is on supporting agriculture in this state. Right now, as a measure of GDP, agriculture ranks below the media. That wasn't always the case. Weber says that if we decrease the size of government and get it out of monkeying with private business, our ag producers will do much better.
Fresh off of the Superintendent of Public Instruction debate, Tom Kelly joined me in the studio. I had a couple of questions I wanted to follow up on. I asked him if it is possible to evaluate teacher performance--which came up in the debate. His answer surprised me. Also we were able to dive a little deeper into recalibration and his thoughts on local control.
In an effort to avoid what it actually means to be a Republican, candidates are trying to brand themselves as some other type of Republican. It leaves the rest of us to ask, "Why not just be a Republican?" There's the "Common Sense Republicans," "Real Republicans" and now, "Rational Republicans." It's funny, these are the same folks asking you to reject labels and focus on issues. Then why don't they?
Chad Auer is one of the people running for Superintendent of Public Instruction. He was one of Gordon's policy advisors on education, after being a teacher for a while.
This past Tuesday, I moderated the WYGOP Superintendent of Public Instruction debate in Upton--there were more than a couple of questions I asked during the debate that needed more discussion.
Sheriff Richard Mack is the founder of the Constitutional Sheriff and Peace Officers Association. He is also the first person to sue the federal government over Clinton's Brady Bill. He's the the author of several books including his latest The Democrat Murder of America.
He joined me on the program to discuss the importance of the Sheriff and how to know if your candidate is the right guy for the job.
The Wyoming Realtors PAC has issued their 2026 endorsements. It's a who's who of Democrats masquerading as Republicans. The average score of adhering to the Republican Party Platform from their honorees is 15% and they only vote with the Republican majority 17.2%--sure sounds like a bunch of conservatives to me.
It looks like Ogden Driskill's "Become a Peacemaker" pledge didn't take. Not only is he making it up as he goes alo...
Being Independence Day we should have guessed that a Redcoat would post a video. J.D. WIlliams posted a video in which he tried to explain why the Democrats vote with Republicans and not the other way around. Interesting though, there are a bunch of Republicans that the Democrats DON'T vote with. Why?
The answer is easier than you might think....maybe it's because the values of the Democrats line up with the value...
A young volunteer with Americans for Prosperity (AFP) mistakenly knocked on my door this morning. He obviously didn't expect all the questions I was going to ask him--turns out he didn't even really know anything about the candidate he was supporting.
Also, this morning on the live program I interviewed CJ Young who is running to be Wyoming's next Secretary of State.
Earl Collier is running for the House of Representatives in House District 3. That seat is currently held by Rep Abby Angelos who is running for the Wyoming Senate. Collier is a GIS specialist and a surveyor.
We talked about why being a father and a busy business owner why he decided to do this. We also spoke about the oil and gas industry, sage grouse and why government regulations--both state and federal-...
Rep Abby Angelos is running for the Wyoming Senate in Senate District 23. Her opponent in that race is Dwayne Dillinger. He's one of the "republican" candidates in Campbell County that refused to show up at the Republican Party debate.
I spoke with Abby on Thursday during the live program.
A semi-anonymous group, BecomePeacemakers.org, is asking candidates to sign their "Love your enemies" pledge. Most of the people who have signed it are the very people have said some really nasty things about their political opponents. Perhaps it wasn't the intent of the pledge but the real question is how it will be used--and that is a typical Redcoat tactic.
David Hill Joins the program to talk about his race for HD50.&nbs...
Steve Friess is running for the U.S. House along with 9 other candidates. He joined me in the studio for an hour a few days ago. It was a wide ranging discussion that covered everything from the Save America Act, the Convention of States, guns, so-called affordable housing and exactly who he is.
I pressed him on the central claim of most of his campaign material--that he helped author executive orders for the Trump Administration.&...
