Agar, Norskog seek state senate seat

Mary Jane Norskog and Wyatt Agar are the two choices in Tuesday’s general election for the State Senate in the 20th District.

The first Democrat to run for the position in 23 years, Norskog still believes Wyoming is an equality state and believes in women’s rights. She encourages folks to get involved in their communities any way they can.

Norskog said human services are also a key concern. Hospitals, mental health, family services, law enforcement and domestic facilities are being scaled back, which could have a huge ripple effect on Wyoming. She also supports a living wage and a raise in minimum wage to $15 an hour and affordable housing. She is not opposed to gun ownership, but said responsibility and accountability should always come first.

On the Republican ticket, Agar believes in peeling back regulations to allow young entrepreneurs to be successful and create jobs at the local level. He believes voters should be electing fiscally responsible individuals with strong budgetary histories so tax dollars are put to use in constructive ways.

Agar said he is running to protect constitutional, individual and private property rights. He said he is committed to fight for and protect citizen’s core principles. He said he would work diligently for our district so that small businesses, energy, agriculture and tourism can operate in a business friendly environment, allowing them to strive for success.
