Lisa Kinney announces her candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives. Kinney served in the Wyoming State Senate for 10 years, is an attorney, has an MLS in librarianship, owned Summit Bar Review, worked for VALIC/AIG, is former Director of Albany County Library, and former President of the Albany County Chamber of Commerce. She was born in Laramie and has spent most of her life there. “I am proud to be a Wyomingite and want to represent us, the people of Wyoming.” Kinney said. “I believe in the Cowboy Code of the West---honesty, hard work and helping your neighbor. In Wyoming, everyone works together and ‘neighbor is a verb’” quoting Rod Miller from WyoFile.com.”
Kinney continued, “We are being bankrupted by national policies. Remembering past philosophy, “it’s just the economy,” Wyoming. We can’t afford food because of the tariffs. We pay almost $4 a gallon for gas due to a war not authorized by Congress. The ACA subsidies were terminated so more than 11,000 people in Wyoming have no health insurance or are paying ridiculous amounts. We must wait until age 40 to purchase a $450,000 house absurd. We must pay immediately for student loans and not receive UW money because Congress deleted these programs. I call myself the Congressional Robin Hood, because my goal is to change these laws,” Kinney stated. “We must reinstate programs for us that aren’t taking all our spendable dollars. Even two incomes are not enough anymore,” Kinney concluded.
In addition, she noted, “I am horrified that there are multiple bills attempting to take Wyoming public lands away from us, including several from Harriet Hageman. This is not why we vote for our Representatives and Senators—we need to place individuals in Congress who believe in the sanctity of our property. Wyomingites are independent and need to make their own decisions about life—not just follow what the federal government demands of us,” Kinney stated. Wyoming was the first state to get a National Park—Yellowstone in 1872. Wyoming had the first National Forest established—1891 Shoshone National Forest. Wyoming had the first National Monument designated—Devil’s Tower in 1906. “And now, they want to strip all these firsts and property in the state away from us. We use these lands for recreation, hunting, fishing, skiing, camping, and they belong to you and me,” Kinney concluded.
Kinney continued, “I think differently from the other candidates. They are asking for presidential endorsement. I am looking at what is going on in the world and how it affects Wyoming. All changes are not good, and we need to be prepared. If you recall the Industrial Revolution, the whole population had to change to survive. We are in the middle of a tech ‘revolution.’ Everything around us is revolving such as AI, cryptocurrency, diminishing work force, and energy to mention a few. Wyoming is being considered seriously for placement of AI Data Centers, but how would they affect us? The Governor, Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon all met in close to the public and media meetings on 4-1 and 4-2 to discuss what would happen if one or more data center were placed here. The effects are intense and involve electricity, water, no corporate taxes, noise and more. We need to be informed. Wyoming has been the ‘backbone of America’s energy’ for a century, so we must examine and learn if we want to remain involved in such changes,” Kinney concluded.
Kinney has created a diverse campaign committee and considers the minds of the people of Wyoming important to question in making future beneficial decisions for Wyoming.

“Thanks for voting for me. I depend on you,” Kinney smiled.
Statement from the Committee to Elect Lisa Kinney
R—Reintroduce:
1. Notion that Wyoming lands stay in Wyoming hands. No giving it away or selling it.
2. Getting Constitutional congressional power back to provide a system of checks and balances and to ensure a separation of powers instead of relinquishing all power to the President (such as his imposing tariffs and starting wars, and Congress leaving Washington for two months to avoid voting on releasing the Epstein files)
3. Ending Trump’s War of Choice in Iran, which was unnecessary, so costly that it could have paid for the ACA subsidies for nine years.
4. Getting out of Venezuela, NOT attacking Cuba, not getting rid of NATO! Really? Not American First—Stop this nonsense.
5. Decorum—no more profanity, insults, name-calling or publicly giving finger to protester (I took a photo of this on TV if anyone has doubts about it).
6. Lack of ICE agents hurting, killing, and imprisoning U.S. Citizens (no lies about Renee Good running over agent; we all saw what happened), and Alex Pretti being shot in the back after his lawful gun was taken away (tragic) and non-violent working migrants from Home Depot, schools, Mexican Restaurants, door-to-door.
E—Educate
1. Support public education, freedom of thought and public libraries, public radio
2. Reestablish Department of Education
3. Provide free lunch and breakfast for kids, reintroduce SNAP
4. Bring back special education, gifted and talented and head start
5. Eliminate Big Beautiful Bill BBB (855 pages) provisions re: denial of school loan forgiveness making students pay tax immediately on loans, lowering borrowing caps.
A—Affordability
1. Health care— a. Continue subsidies for ACA three years and have both parties work together to come up with decent health care plans; 11-27,000 Wyomingite’s health care costs have increased dramatically because of the BBB and Congress has not fixed this severe problem b. Wyoming has one health care provider—we need to work with other states to use their insurers to increase the number of individuals covered to reduce costs.
2. Lower cost for buying houses (grants to states to open empty apartment buildings, schools, and malls for housing units)
3. Eliminate tariffs to the lower cost of food, auto parts, clothing, tools, electronics (food up 14% since January; small packet of pretzels should not cost $7.99 in Laramie)
4. Reduce taxes for low-income earners; eliminate large tax benefits to millionaires and billionaires under the BBB.
L—LawThe Constitution—due process is available to all people in the U.S. Follow judgments of courts-- federal staff and president are ignoring it—no Epstein documents Rule of Law--What if we all decided not to stop at red lights?
That is happening at U.S. level with legal decision after legal decision. Stop pardoning violent criminals and drug kings; the VP has said that all ICE employees have complete immunity—NO LOVE is another “L” word.
Preserve decency—treat individuals like the Sermon on the Mount—love, compassion, care for the poor, righteousness and integrity, feed the poor, provide shelter for the homeless, not hate one another because of political differences, love God and love each other as we love ourselves.
It's the economy, Wyoming!
