Do you know what your representatives are up to?

The 2025 Session begins TODAY, January 14 and ends on March 6.

For the first time in Wyoming history, conservatives hold the majority in the house. The Senate holds the near 50/50 split as before. Senate sources assure me the conservatives have a plan and we will see both sides come together for the good of We the People.


These elected officials work for and represent us. Therefore, it is OUR responsibility to communicate with them and hold them accountable to their campaign promises.

Brief overview of how things work:

As they gear up for the 37 day session, our legislators have been drafting and submitting bills to the LSO office (Legal Services). The LSO takes bills and writes them in fancy lawyer-lingo. Personally, we wish they used clear and concise language. But that's another article. Currently, there are over TWO HUNDRED bills submitted via committee, individual sentators/reresentatives, and groups of senators/representatives. More will be added daily. You can read ALL of these proposed bills on wyoleg.gov


Go to the website and click on 2025 Legislation. They are listed in numerical order. Click on the reference number to read the bill. It's that simple. Wyoleg is user-friendly. You can follow bills as they are debated on in the chambers and ammended. Votes are also recorded.


Our legislature has a YouTube channel. You can watch committee meetings, floor meetings, and Committee of the Whole meetings. You can also TESTIFY via Zoom if you can't travel to Cheyenne. Wyoming is a big state with bad weather in the winter. https://www.youtube.com/@WyomingLegislature


In the chambers, the legislators conduct the meetings using Mason's Rules of Order, not Robert's. They are similar.


Bills are introduced by sponsors or reps carrying it. It's read, debate ensues, ammendments are made, and a final vote is made.


Not all bills make it to the chamber. The speaker of the house determines what is discussed and voted upon as do committees. In the senate, the Majority Floor Leader is part of this decision making process.


You can email your senator/representative asking them to vote for/against bills. Let your voice be heard.


An overview of the Legislative Line Up


Secretary of State, Chuck Gray, has partnered with liberty-minded legislators to create a comprehensive plan for election reform. Learn more about that here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-5qr7y-17a0272


The Freedom Caucus has a Five and Dime plan in which they plan to introduce five pieces of legislature that will benefit We the People of Wyoming within the first ten days of session. Here are the topics:

  • election integrity

  • making sure driver's licences from other states given to illegals are not recognized or given in Wyoming

  • stopping the woke agenda

  • protecting our industries from ESG

  • property tax relief and REFORM

David Iverson interviews members of the FC about the Five and Dime. You will get an in-depth picture of their plan here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-qsc3s-17899bb
