Candidate's Comments:
I am president of the Natrona County Chapter of Wyoming Right to Life, a trained Sidewalk Advocate for Life, Co-coordinator of our Casper 40 Days for Life and a member of Jewish Pro-Life Foundation. I have testified in favor of all the pro-life and safety laws passed by the Wyoming Legislature and, if elected, work on Judicial Reform of the selection process for Wyoming Judges and Justices so that, in the future, decisions are based on the clear text of our constitution and our statutes and not to the agenda of leftist, pro-abortion judges.
