Lummis, Ben David seek senate seat

Cynthia Lummis (R) and Merav Ben David (D) are both seeking Wyoming’s United States Senator seat.

Cynthia Lummis believes its time to get our economy back on track.

She would like to see expanding energy production and truly understands the tremendous challenges our farmers and ranchers have been facing.

Getting policy in place so they may sell their products directly to the consumer is something she plans on working toward as well as working tirelessly, fighting for Wyoming’s people. She believes in putting Wyoming and America first.

Merav Ben David says as a professor of wildlife at the University of Wyoming, she watches our young people leaving the state for better opportunities, miners, oil workers – jobless, and no safety net or alternate source of income for our citizens. “Rescue, Reimagine, Rebuild” is the basis of her platform. Rescue: ensure Wyoming residents and businesses are provided loans to keep their families fed and their businesses running. “This would allow us to catch our breath,” she said. Reimagine: there is more to our state than just producing energy. Imagine new technologies and a skilled, Wyoming workforce ready to step in. Rebuild: In the wake of the Great Depression we had the New Deal. Imagine what a smart federal plan, combined with the technological strides of the past century, can help us do in the upcoming decade.
