State of Wyoming Archives: on Families & Children

Charlie Hardy: Many parents worry about not providing for their children

"There are sick people in Wyoming who are unable to go and get medical attention they want. There are kids who want to continue their education, but they can't. We must run, and we must win because of all of these things," he said.

Mark Gordon: Culture has lost track of old fashioned American values

I understand the struggle parents go through to raise their kids, and I will uphold the values that keep families strong, allowing them to raise children to be happy, productive committed citizens and leaders. Values are best taught by loving parents, institutions of faith, and mentors, not pamphlets, regulations, or decrees. Family decisions should be made around the kitchen table, not conference tables in Washington.

Matt Mead: Fund Boys' School; elderly-at-home; & Life Resource Center

• courthouse security,
• juvenile justice,
• school safety,
• reducing developmental disabilities wait lists,
• health programs, medical homes, aging and disability resource centers, 2-1-1, and immunization, and
• the Life Resource Center, State Hospital, Veterans' Home and Boys' School.

Where our state has stepped in, we have to step up and provide good care and good facilities. That's the Wyoming way. And my budget provides for them.

Scott Morrow: Single parent of five minor dependent children

A: I was a single parent of five minor dependent children after their mother left the 13 year marriage. All my children were academically successful and participated in multiple sporting activities including but not limited to martial arts. I achieved a Cho Don belt level in World Taekwondo, studied karate, kempo karate, boxing, jujitsu and judo. I was a championship wrestler in junior high and high school in Colorado while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. This afforded me a Senatorial nomination to the Naval Academy. I instead attended a college in Lancaster, CA where I won a conference championship in wrestling.
