The 2024 election season will be remembered as a turning point for Wyoming and the nation. Across the board, pro-life and pro-family candidates and causes triumphed.

Wyoming Family Alliance covered the state with its election resources to ensure that those who cherish life, family, religious liberty, and educational freedom could stay informed and vote wisely for candidates who will uphold their values.

As we unpack what happened over the course of the electoral season, here are some key takeaways from Wyoming Family Alliance President Nathan Winters:

On President Donald Trump’s Victory

The clear message from last night is that Americans are in distress and want a new course for the country. Cutting through the media spin, President Trump ran on a strong platform addressing core issues hurting our families: increased prices, an open border, and woke ideology that’s harming kids. 

But getting our nation back on track isn’t just about reversing course from the last four years. Together, we must make a renewed push to build up the family because our nation is only as strong as our families. If we hope to pass on the American promise to the next generation, we must start by ensuring children are secure in the knowledge and blessing of being loved in a home with their married mom and dad. 

We must pray for President Trump and his transition team as they prepare for the work ahead. 

Senator Barrasso and Representative Harriet Hageman

Wyoming is well-served by her Congressional delegation. I am thankful for the miles they have driven across the state this year and the time and effort they spent connecting with Wyoming voters to understand their concerns. These Wyoming leaders truly understand what our families are facing and are willing to speak out for us.

The Wyoming Legislature

With this election, Wyoming will have a pro-life, pro-family Legislature. Once more, we will have a 29-2 Republican supermajority in the State Senate and maintain a Republican supermajority of 56-6 in the State House of Representatives.

The challenge now is to encourage those who have been elected to stand for the long-term health of families in Wyoming by defending the preciousness of life, upholding the freedom of people of faith to live their lives without government overreach, and ensuring we are a state where families can thrive.

 

Wyoming School Board Races

This year was also pivotal for School Board races across the state. More awareness was raised about the need to vote for solid conservative school board members than in any previous year. It was a joy to support good candidates across the state, many of whom were elected. Still, there is much work to be done in this important arena, and we look forward to being part of it.

 

The Final Takeaway

This is the time to go on offense in Wyoming. As our state has awakened to the growth of government in our daily lives, we must look at innovative ways to restore the family and empower them to prosper.

Onward!
