$50M for separate facilities for juveniles
It is time that we have a degree of uniformity in this state about how we treat juveniles. We have allocated $50 million of stimulus money to a series of juvenile detention facilities around this state.
These facilities create options, so when we have juveniles that need to be detained they can be taken someplace other than hard lockdown with adults. Adults, whose offenses usually far exceed anything we would like these young people to be around.

More funding for local police and sheriff's offices
We need to support our local police departments, sheriff's offices, fire halls; our local communities. I believe the best decisions are made closest to where the impact of those decisions is felt. It is also at the local level where individuals and
entrepreneurs can spur new businesses that align with a community's values and assets.
I applaud Governor Mead's dedication to providing funding to locals these past eight years, and I will continue that work. But beyond dollars, I hope to move forward with improving the tools required for cities,
towns and counties to prosper. This means finding ways to enhance the services of the State Loan and Investment Board.

Matt Mead:
Wyoming has 4th lowest rate of violent crimes
[A recent] report noted that Wyoming has the fourth lowest rate of violent crimes and the sixth lowest unemployment rate. The report also cited the high percent of our adult population, age 25 years or older, that are high school graduates.
At 92.3 percent, our state ranks first in the nation. Congratulations Wyoming. I am pleased to report the state of the state is strong. We have a citizenry that while small in numbers is big in spirit and accomplishment.

Yana Ludwig:
Founded Proper Policing group after police shooting
Ludwig has been at the center of several prominent coalitions to emerge over the past few years. Last year, Ludwig was a founding member of Albany County for Proper Policing, a community group formed in response to the shooting of Robbie Ramirez
by an Albany County sheriff's deputy. She has also worked as a regional organizer for Showing Up for Racial Justice--a national racial justice organization. (She has since stepped back from both organizations, in order to focus on her Senate campaign.)

Create Ashanti Alert System for notice of missing adults
Both Tribes have emphasized the need to address the epidemic of missing person cases afflicting Tribal communities. To help counter this ongoing tragedy, I established the Wyoming Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Task Force. Their work has
resulted in several recommendations, among them is creating the Ashanti Alert System. It is a needed solution to help all Wyoming people. It will function similarly to an AMBER alert, quickly sending notifications to the public about missing adults.

Trump not convicted of a crime regardless of fake narrative
In regard to the former president, Rasner argued that the accusations of insurrection have already been adjudicated and no charges resulted from those
proceedings. "He has never been convicted of a crime and, regardless of the fake narrative they push, President Trump is innocent until they say otherwise," Rasner said.

Scott Morrow:
Equal justice for police and government officials
Q: Do you support protecting government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct?
A: No. When did equal justice under the law and accountability for ones actions become a bad thing? The rest of us must conduct our affairs lawfully or go to court and/or jail.

Scott Morrow:
Convicted criminals have no business holding elected office
Q: What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?A: Honesty, character, integrity, empathy, compassion, the ability to access the facts and a deep desire to work with everyone to accomplish good things for Americans.
Lying, bribing, defrauding, defaming, raping and committing sedition has no place in our political realm.
Convicted criminals who have not yet paid their debt to society for their felonies have no business running for or holding elected office.
Neither do those who endorse such scandalous and deplorable candidates for elected office. Not a single elected official is above the law no matter what SCOTUS opines.
