Thoughts from the Trail: Day 2 - Protect Our Back, Coal Country

Day 2: Protect Our Back, Coal Country

Campbell County doesn't just produce coal. We produce opportunity.

Every mile-long coal train leaving the Powder River Basin before sunrise represents thousands of people getting up before dawn, putting in an honest day's work, and providing the energy that keeps America running. Here at home, coal has done more than power the nation. It has built our schools, paved our roads, funded our parks, supported our first responders, and created the communities we're proud to call home.

This isn't just about an industry. It's about our families, our paychecks, and our future.

That's why I believe protecting Wyoming's energy workers means protecting Wyoming itself.

"Our community was built on the strength of energy production. I am committed to ensuring Campbell County remains the energy capital of the nation by cutting red tape and bolstering the resources that sustain our families."

The facts are clear: Wyoming energy provides reliable, affordable power, supports thousands of good-paying jobs, and generates the revenue that helps fund essential services across our state. Weakening our energy industry doesn't just hurt Campbell County it affects every Wyoming community that depends on it.

When Washington attacks our mines, they aren't attacking a number on a spreadsheet. They're threatening our neighbors, our local businesses, our schools, and the families who have spent generations building this community.

Campbell County deserves a senator who understands what's at stake because he lives it. Someone who will stand up with facts instead of politics, determination instead of empty promises, and the courage to fight for the people who keep Wyoming strong.

I will protect our back, defend our energy workers, and fight every day to keep Campbell County the Energy Capital of the Nation.
