Health careNo. 03/12

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.

Background

ImmigrationNo. 04/12

Congress should fund more physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

GunsNo. 05/12

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Background

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.

The lawful possession of firearms for hunting and self-defense is an integral part of our DNA in this state, and we don't want our constitutional rights negotiated away.

AbortionNo. 06/12

Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.

Background

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

Energy and climateNo. 07/12

The federal government should expand oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters.

Harriet Hageman Agree

Since his first day in office, Joe Biden has done everything possible to end oil and gas development and mineral production, which has caused massive increases in energy poverty and reliance on despots and dictators for those resources we need to power our economy.

Legacy energy sources such as coal, oil, gas, and uranium can meet our demands, and Wyoming is blessed with an abundance of these energy resources.

We need more affordable, reliable energy, not less. The baseless, subjective standards created by these rules seek to upend the coal mines and power plants that built Wyoming and this Country.

EconomyNo. 09/12

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.

Background

Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.

James Byrd Disagree

On the other side, they throw up tariffs against our beef, against our ag products. And then all of a sudden you don't have a market, just like the Chinese.

Public safetyNo. 11/12

A president should be able to send the National Guard into a state over its governor's objection.

Background

Governors normally command their state's National Guard, but federal law lets a president take control of it in some situations. Since 2025, the use of that power to send troops into cities has been challenged in court.

We have already given Ukraine over $110 billion in its conflict against Russia. We have had minimal accounting and oversight related to these funds but do know that Ukraine is plagued by government corruption.
