Gary Trauner for U.S. Senate (opposing Senator John Barrasso (R)): Unanimously Endorsed
Gary Trauner for U.S. Senate (opposing Senator John Barrasso (R)): Unanimously Endorsed
We're happy to announce that we unanimously endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Gary Trauner (D) on Saturday, April 14, 2018, opposing U.S. Senator John Barrasso and have since forwarded our recommendation for his endorsement by the national Our Revolution organization.
Gary was narrowly defeated by fewer than 500 votes state-wide, and less than 0.5% in his last bid for the U.S. House to defeat then-Representative Barbara Cubin, and we believe he has what it takes to talk to the people of Wyoming and represent our shared values. He's actively seeking Bernie Sanders' personal endorsement, is End Citizens United endorsed, and we hope that by working together we can persuade Bernie to come to Wyoming to stump for Gary before this fall.
We urge our members to make recurring monthly donations of $5-30 as every penny helps Gary. He's forsworn corporate and PAC money, so is running a clean, people-powered campaign.
His campaign website can be located here. His Facebook Page can be located here.

Debbie Bovee for Wyoming House District 36
Status: Endorsed by Our Revolution Casper
Statement: Including answers where Debbie Bovee’s answers revealed similarities in views but not congruence with our ideal positions on issues, Debbie approached 91% congruence with our issues. Her clarification statements were brief but well understood given the political realities of her competitive race. Her opponent Art Washut did not seek endorsement by Our Revolution Casper. 75% of voting members voted to endorse, 12.5% voted for “other,” and 12.5% voted to not endorse.
Glows: 74% of the candidate’s responses approached our ideal positions on our issues, and 91% total were similar. She supports safe and effective schools from pre-school to college and is an education advocate. She insists upon full and adequate state funding to communities especially for senior citizens and the disabled and is a strong supporter of public lands. Answers on only two questionnaire items received negative ratings.
Grows: She did not answer the question about women’s reproductive rights and a woman’s right to choose. Her answer on tribal sovereignty/American Indian jurisdiction revealed the need to improve her knowledge of issues affecting first peoples.
