Our Members
Taking a Stand for Wyoming
Wyoming Freedom Caucus members are a powerful force for conservative values. We champion limited government, strong families, and individual liberty, as outlined in the U.S. and Wyoming Constitutions.
We’ve successfully sponsored legislation to protect unborn life, to ensure secure our elections, to bar men from women’s sports and spaces, and to restore the Second Amendment.
We are successful because of our like-minded commitment to common sense, conservative principles– and because we work for the people, not the government.
