As I look at my grandchildren, I am grateful that they have the opportunity if they choose to live in Wyoming. I am grateful that they can be raised in a place where they can enjoy the beauties of Mother Nature and Wyoming’s open spaces, to live in communities that care about them and are invested in their success.
Whether we have been in Wyoming for four generations or four weeks, it is those same values, those same opportunities that draw us here, that keep us here and that make Wyoming great.
I love Wyoming. I believe in Wyoming. I believe that together we can build a Wyoming with a strong economy and good jobs, provide for a fiscally sound and responsible state government and a Wyoming that respects and honors our God given liberties—in short, the Wyoming we want for our children and grandchildren.
That is the reason why I am standing before you today and declaring my candidacy for the office of Governor of the great state of Wyoming.
I am asking you to join us today, in the spirit of our strongest traditions, to recommit to the values that made this country the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Please join with us as we build a Wyoming that is better than the one that we inherited.
I need your help. I need your energy, I need your ideas. It will require strength and it will require courage. I can not do it without you.
I do pledge to you today that the hour has come. My whole heart is in it. All that I have, and all that I am and all that I hope in this life, I am now ready to pledge to Wyoming. Together we can make a difference. We must do all that we can to preserve the noble heritage that has been left to us by our founding fathers. At the end of the day, I want to be able to look my children and grandchildren in the eye and say, we did it, we made a difference.
Thank you for joining us and God bless the great state of Wyoming.
