ELECT KEN

PENDERGRAFT

REPUBLICAN
WYOMING SENATE DISTRICT 21

Hello friends and neighbors. 

It is time for Wyoming residents to decide.  Do we want to be subjects, dependent upon government to provide for every aspect of our lives? Or shall we rein in an ever-growing bureaucracy that continually gnaws away at our wealth, our liberty, our rights and abilities to provide for ourselves and for our children for generations?  The more wealth the state secures, the more powerful it becomes. 

Are we to surrender and become submissive subjects, or shall we remain independent, free citizens? The choice is ours, so far.   

When I first started campaigning my message centered on the idea that Government was too large and powerful, too intrusive, too inefficient and too expensive.  I pointed out that Wyoming doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. I went to Cheyenne, and after my first two-year term I had earned the respect of the next generation of leadership in the house.  I was selected to be vice chair of Appropriations, acting as a liaison for the Military Department, Wyoming Department of Transportation, University of Wyoming, State Capital Construction, the entire Judiciary branch, and several other agencies. 

I worked hard to do exactly what I said I would do, and that is to reduce government and the cost of the same.  Government should do the things it is required to do and do those things well, and nothing more. Government should never become all things to all people. 

For business, Government should provide an even playing field with policies conducive to the free market and not involve itself in picking winners and losers.  Crony Capitalism is not freedom; it’s manipulation and power. 

After two terms in the House, I believe I am just hitting my stride, learning to be effective in Cheyenne, understanding how to best serve the freedom-loving folk that sent me there to represent them.  I am eternally grateful for that opportunity. 

Within those first two terms, I was instrumental in securing property tax relief for Wyoming.  I continue to work toward tax reform that will allow people to own their own homes outright, and not “rent” perpetually from the tax gatherers. I fought hard at every turn to guarantee our God-given right to self-defense, and to secure the right to life for the unborn.  I have diligently studied to understand how the budget works, and how it can be made more transparent.  I have worked closely with many others to further secure our election process, so that we all may have absolute confidence that elections are free and fair. I have worked to defend Wyoming against a tyrannical federal government and promote safety and security for our children. I have worked to secure parental rights and educational choice. All of these I will continue to support and defend.    

That said, I have a significant amount of unfinished business to attend to and am actively helping newer legislators to be as effective as possible.  

Therefore, I take this opportunity to announce my campaign for the 69th legislature, as Senator for District 21 in Western Sheridan County, my home, the place where I grew up and love dearly.  The place I returned to after serving my country around the world. 

As I pointed out at the beginning of this letter, we have a choice to make.  If you choose to defend liberty and our beloved way of life, I ask for your support to continue the work I’ve begun, and to help recruit and train others to do even more of the same.  

Again, it has truly been the honor of a lifetime to serve Sheridan in this capacity.  I have done exactly what I said I would do and wish to do more before I’m finished.  I humbly ask for your support.  Those who believe that government has and should have all the answers, power and money are already fundraising to defeat me, and to take everything they can from you.  Let’s not allow that to happen.    

Yours Respectfully, 
Ken Pendergraft
