Wyoming Votes

SF101 would strengthen Wyoming's existing Second Amendment Protection Act by prohibiting state and local officials from enforcing certain federal gun-control laws, rules, or executive orders that violate the right to keep and bear arms. The bill would create civil and criminal penalties for officials who knowingly enforce those prohibited federal actions, while also adding certain exceptions.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF101 on March 5, 2026 by a vote of 40 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the American people "to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Whenever the federal government imposes unconstitutional acts, nullification of such acts, as reserved to the states under Article VI and the 10th Amendment, is the proper remedy.

HB3 protects pro-life pregnancy centers from being singled out by state or local government entities because of their opposition to abortion. The bill prohibits Wyoming or its political subdivisions from adopting laws, rules, or policies that target these centers (e.g., via special oversight, regulation, or penalties) based on their pro-life viewpoint or services.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB3 on March 4, 2026 by a vote of 52 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because pro-life pregnancy centers help defend the God-given, unalienable right to life by offering alternatives to abortion, and state or local governments should not be allowed to target them for special regulation or penalties because of their pro-life viewpoint.

SJ5 would apply to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention for proposing constitutional amendments. The resolution focuses on limiting federal power, addressing the national debt, curbing federal mandates, imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, and establishing term limits for federal officials and members of Congress.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives rejected SJ5 on March 3, 2026 by a vote of 21 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V "convention of the states" must be resisted. A constitutional convention (Con-Con) would have the power to make major changes to the U.S. Constitution, or even completely rewrite it. Instead of failing to uphold their oath of office and risking the danger of a "runaway convention," which could act as a "trojan horse" to destroy many of the Constitution's limitations on government power, state legislators should act to immediately nullify all unconstitutional federal laws. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in blatant violation of the 10th Amendment, nullification of such lawless acts is the proper remedy. Article V was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to "misconstrue or abuse its powers." We must use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to alter or abolish it.

SF104 would have provided state funding for specified University of Wyoming research projects. It would have created a special account, required private matching funds, allowed fundraising, set conditions on how the money could be used, and directed how revenue from the research would be allocated.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives rejected SF104 on March 3, 2026 by a vote of 25 to 30. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education and research are not the proper role of government, and taxpayers should not be forced to fund university research projects they may not support. Such bills as this expand government spending, interfere with the free market, and shift costs that should be borne by private individuals, institutions, or voluntary donors onto taxpayers.

SF67 allows the governor to organize and maintain a Wyoming State Guard without first requiring the Wyoming National Guard to be called into federal service. The bill also removes federal involvement from the State Guard's structure, places it more fully under the governor's authority, and allows the guard to be used for state defense, public peace, enforcing state law, responding to emergencies, suppressing riots or invasions, supporting wildland fire response, and other duties required by the governor. It also appropriates $25,000 through June 30, 2028 to help convene a state council of defense and establish or equip the State Guard.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF67 on March 2, 2026 by a vote of 54 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because a state defense force protects state sovereignty and helps Wyoming defend its citizens, enforce its laws, and respond to emergencies without depending on federally controlled forces. By placing the State Guard under state authority and removing federal involvement from its structure, the bill upholds Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15 and 16 of the U.S. Constitution and the 10th Amendment, and provides an important safeguard against unconstitutional federal overreach involving the National Guard.

HB4 adds birthing-center services to the list of medical services covered under Wyoming Medicaid.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB4 on February 13, 2026 by a vote of 58 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because neither healthcare nor social welfare is the legitimate object of government. Medicaid, as with many other "entitlement programs," discriminatorily and unjustly provides "eligible" low-income persons, who have little or no tax liability, with government funds at the expense of other hard-working citizens. Wyoming must reject the use of taxpayer dollars for this ever-expanding and unsustainable federal-state program that is not authorized under Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

SF175 would reduce the maximum length of “unemployment benefits” from twenty 26 weeks to 20 weeks.

The House failed to pass SF175 on February 28, 2025, by a vote of 23 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the nays because there exists no right to a wage or remuneration apart from a person earning it themselves, through their own labor or investment. The reality is that government has no money of its own, and so-called “unemployment benefits,” despite being paid out by the state, are nothing but an illegitimate “insurance” mandate (i.e., tax) on employers—the cost of which is ultimately paid for by hard-working employees. Unsurprisingly, the subsidizing or compulsory financing of unemployed individuals undermines work ethic and profit incentive, creating more unemployment and poor people dependent on the government for income. State lawmakers must not be permitted to legislate beyond their proper constitutional scope and authority.

SJ1 would apply to Congress to call a “convention of the states” under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

The House rejected SJ1 on February 28, 2025, by a vote of 25 to 32. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V “convention of the states” must be resisted. A constitutional convention (Con-Con) would have the power to make major changes to the U.S. Constitution, or even completely rewrite it. Instead of risking the danger of a “runaway convention,” which could act as a “trojan horse” to destroy many of the Constitution’s limitations on government power, state and federal lawmakers should simply uphold their oath of office and follow the Constitution as originally intended. Article V was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to “misconstrue or abuse its powers.” We must use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to alter or abolish it.

HB199 appropriates $30 million in state funding for “education savings accounts” in FY 2025, increases the annual “scholarship award” to $7,000, and eliminates income requirements for all K-12 students.

The House passed HB199 on February 27, 2025, by a vote of 42 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government—it is the responsibility of a child’s parents or family. This bill, under the appealing but misleading guise of “school choice,” expands the government’s monopoly on K-12 education, which seeks to displace traditional private schools and homeschooling in favor of universal state-sponsored schooling. Its exchange of public subsidies for curriculum and other regulatory controls effectively turns every participating student into a government-school student. The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system.

SF96 directs the state to hold at least $10 million in “specie and specie legal tender” and to study methods to “begin accepting gold and silver as a payment medium.”  

The House passed SF96 on February 19, 2025, by a vote of 44 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a necessary step toward restoring sound money and adhering to the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the Constitution, “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to protect Americans’ financial freedom and privacy by both ending the Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monopoly on money and thwarting government plans to impose a Central Bank Digital Currency.

HB341 would authorize the Department of Family Services to administer the federal “Summer EBT program,” which provides a debit card with $120 in “grocery benefits” for each eligible school-age child when school is not in session.

The House rejected HB341 on February 10, 2025, by a vote of 25 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the responsibility for feeding children belongs to parents or family members, not the government. There can be no such thing as a “free” meal, and taxation in the name of “social welfare” is neither just nor charitable. “Cradle-to-grave” policies rely on the unconstitutional theft of taxpayer money for use on behalf of some citizens (particularly those who have little or no tax liability) at the expense of others—resulting in more debt, dependency, and poverty. Moreover, nothing in Article 1, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the federal “Summer EBT program,” Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

HB177 would create the “federal review joint and standing committee” to review “any federal actions” to determine if the “sovereignty of the state of Wyoming" or "the powers, rights and liberties of its citizens” are being “infringed upon or diminished.”
The House passed HB177 on February 3, 2025, by a vote of 32 to 25. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the U.S. Constitution delegates only specific, enumerated powers to the federal government while maintaining state sovereignty. Not only does Article VI of the U.S. Constitution require that federal laws “be made in Pursuance” of the U.S. Constitution, but the 10th Amendment makes clear that powers not granted by the Constitution to the federal government are “reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution, nullification of such lawless “federal actions” is the proper remedy. State officials in Wyoming and elsewhere are duty-bound to “support this Constitution” and interpose against federal usurpation of power.

SF42 amends Wyoming's low-carbon electricity generation standards originally set in 2020, now requiring public utilities serving more than 10,000 customers to meet these standards by 2033. It redefines "low-carbon" to include dispatchable and reliable electricity from existing or new coal-fired generation units. Utilities must annually report steps taken to assess CO2 markets and achieve these standards.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF42 on March 8, 2024 by a vote of 36 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this expands government by pushing for interventions infringing on individual freedoms and economic liberties. State governments should not implement any aspect of the UN’s Agenda 2030, as it is not constitutional and strips away state sovereignty. Additionally, this legislation creates more government interference in the free-market economy and advances the Marxist climate change agenda. Businesses should have the freedom to conduct business without the government meddling in their affairs by setting unrealistic and costly regulations.

SF109 prohibits the state of Wyoming from enforcing any federal statute, rule, executive order, judicial order or judicial finding that prohibits a person from owning, possessing or transferring a firearm, ammunition or related accessories; or orders from ordering the seizure of those items.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF109 on March 6, 2024, by a vote of 54 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. Additionally, this bill utilizes Article VI of the U.S. Constitution to nullify and rein in unconstitutional federal acts regarding gun rights.

SF103 allows the sale of homemade meat products. Producers can sell meat from cattle, sheep, swine, or goats raised and slaughtered either on their premises or at a custom slaughter facility, provided the meat is sold directly to informed consumers within Wyoming. The meat products must be prominently labeled as not inspected and not regulated, and consumers must agree not to resell or donate the meat.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF103 on March 5, 2024 by a vote of 56 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this is a significant step toward reducing government interference in the free market and commerce. By removing regulatory barriers, this bill enables producers to sell directly to consumers, bypassing several government mandated processes and fostering a more direct and efficient marketplace.

HB71 authorizes the use of the broadband development subaccount funds to provide the state's share of matching funds required to receive federal funds under any federal broadband program, including the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program established by the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB71 on February 19, 2024 by a vote of 40 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government-subsidized internet predominantly benefits specific segments of the population by allowing the government to pick winners and losers. Such subsidies are a step towards socialism and increased government interference in the free market. Additionally, the federal government has no constitutional authority to engage in broadband policy, and Wyoming must not legitimize this unconstitutional usurpation.

HB50 mandates that, for legal, regulatory, and statistical purposes in Wyoming, a person's biological sex at birth (male or female) must be used. It defines "female" as someone with a reproductive system producing ova and XX chromosomes, and "male" as someone with a reproductive system that fertilizes ova and XY chromosomes. The act requires separate accommodations for males and females in areas such as athletics, prisons, and restrooms, emphasizing these distinctions relate to important governmental objectives like safety and privacy. It also mandates that vital statistics and data collections identify individuals based on their biological sex at birth.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives failed to introduce HB50 on February 15, 2024 by a vote of 37 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has been promoting radical Marxist notions that someone can self-identify as whichever gender they choose. The indoctrination that leads people to believe they can choose their pronouns and identify as a different gender is immoral. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders.

HB53 mandates that the Wyoming Governor must convene the Legislature within two days of declaring a public health emergency.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives failed to introduce HB53 on February 14, 2024. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because our Founding Fathers believed that checks and balances in government are essential to keep our elected officials in check with the Constitution and to prevent unconstitutional government overreach, and this bill is a step in that direction. Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, requires that each state have "a Republican Form of Government." 

SJ11 applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to call for a "Convention of the States limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.”

The Wyoming State House of Representatives rejected SJ11 on February 27, 2023 by a vote of 21 to 41. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials.

HB106 reintroduces a moratorium on the utilization of eminent domain for wind energy collector systems and forbids independent power producers from employing eminent domain to construct transmission lines through private property for connecting their wind farms to the power grid.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives failed to override the governor's veto on HB106 on February 27, 2023 by a vote of 38 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." The government cannot constitutionally take property from someone and trust that the government will compensate properly. Additionally, much of the country's wind energy companies are heavily subsidized, which plays into the Marxist green agenda.

SF102 removes more government restrictions on the sale of food products, including allowing middlemen to help sell food and beverage products, and allowing eggs and dairy products to be sold at farmer’s markets.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SB102 on February 21, 2023 by a vote of 62 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because government's role is not to interfere with commerce. Government interference in entrepreneurship and private business is in violation of the belief of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

SF106 spends $5.5 million to fund nine new projects for the purposes of supporting wildlife highway crossings, conservation easements, river and fish passage restoration, and wild horse removal for rangeland improvement.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF106 on February 21, 2023 by a vote of 50 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill expands and perpetuates state control over land and water. State ownership of land is an expansion of government and prevents private individuals and businesses from being able to own the property — limiting private-property rights. There are heavy restrictions on taxpayer-owned land. These projects are unnecessary, and the people of Wyoming should question whether they represent a good use of taxpayer money.

HB143 prohibits health mandates and requirements by federal and nongovernmental health organizations, including the CDC and WHO.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives rejected HB143 on February 8, 2023 by a vote of 29 to 32. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the CDC and WHO have no constitutional governmental authority over Americans. The Center for Disease Control is an unconstitutional arm of the federal government, and the federal government is unconstitutionally involved in the World Health Organization — an organization that embraces one-world government.

HB212 creates standing committees on federal review. These committees would review all federal actions — including “all new and existing federal laws, resolutions, rules, regulations, decrees, orders, mandates, executive orders and any other federal dictate having the force and effect of law” — to assess their constitutionality and effect on Wyoming state sovereignty, including past rules and laws.

The Wyoming State House rejected HB212 on February 6, 2023 by a vote of 27 to 35. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and every state is bound by oath to support it. Ultimately, states have a duty to nullify any infringements by the federal government. Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution gives Congress specific powers, and if Congress exceeds those limited powers, then states are obligated to not comply.

HJ2 requests that Congress calls for a convention for proposing amendments to the United States Constitution.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives shot down the introductory vote on February 16, 2022 by a vote of 21 to 37.  We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. HJ2 should be opposed in favor of less risky, more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.

SB118 allows the Governor to create new government programs to spend federal funds. This legislation appropriates federal ARPA funds to capital construction, K-12 education and higher education, and rental assistance programs.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SB118 on April 7, 2021 by a vote of 49 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution tightens the federal-state lockstep on redistribution of income. Additionally, distribution of federal taxpayer dollars comes with contingencies and requirements, forcing states into situations that violate the U.S. Constitution.

HB236 prohibits financial institutions from discriminating against firearm related businesses. A financial institution shall not refuse business if they are engaged in lawful commerce of firearms, firearm accessories or ammunition products.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB236 on April 6, 2021 by a vote of 44 to 13.  We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and there should be no infringement on those rights.

HB253 prohibits the University of Wyoming and community colleges from expending funds on abortions or insurance coverage for abortions.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB253 on April 6, 2021 by a vote of 47 to 10.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution. Taxpayer money and state funded education systems should not be used to perform abortions and abortion procedure training.

SF34 requires that any physician performing an abortion shall take steps to preserve the life and health of the baby if born alive.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed SF34 on April 2, 2021 by a vote of 48 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution. Further, there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that would prevent states from passing well-constructed statutes or adopting amendments to their state constitutions that provide even greater and more specific protections for the right to life than those provided by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

HB75 requires that acceptable identification be presented before voting in person. Acceptable identification includes, but not limited to a Wyoming driver's license, tribal identification issued by the government, United States passport and Military card.

The Wyoming State House of Representatives passed HB75 on April 1, 2021 by a vote of 51 to 8.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our voter ID laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. It would be an infringement on our rights to allow any ineligible elector to vote.
