Casper shows up for each other… At the rodeo, at the balloon launch, at Pride, and in the parade.
That's what neighbors do. 💙

I couldn't help but notice how many people are angry with the news from the Attorney General's office. So, as usual, I’ve been doing some thinking…

I wrote about the shift to Schedule 3 back in December. “Cannabis prohibition was never just about a plant” I claimed. I still stand by that analysis.

But, if you are wondering why state-level reform is so hard, this is why:

"BE IT RESOLVED that the Wyoming Republican Party stands against the legalization and decriminalization of medical and recreational ma*****na (cannabis)."

That is their official party position.

If this subject matters to you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you want to dig deeper into how we got here, the link to my full article is below.

Rodeo season is officially here! 🤠
HUGE thanks to the Central Wyoming Fair & PRCA Rodeo and Visit Casper for a special evening! 🔥🐂

It’s events like these that remind me what makes Casper special; neighbors coming together to celebrate our Western way of life, watching the rodeo athletes compete, seeing families fill the stands, and hearing the excitement of the crowd ... that’s what my community looks like. 💙

Whether you're a lifelong Casper resident or just passing through, there's something about this week that brings us all together.

If you're see me at the fairgrounds this week, stop and say hey! 👋

And if you haven't been yet… what are you waiting for?

First parade float! I’m pretty sure I waived at nearly everybody in Natrona County.

If I missed you, I’m sorry. My arm is ready to fall off. 😅😂💙 Colgrove for HD57, Wyoming

Happy Independence Day, Casper!

A few months ago, the flag outside City Hall was torn and faded. It had been that way for months until I posted it. Vice Mayor Gamroth called it "another day, another gripe." Councilman McIntosh liked a comment calling me a crier. And when a citizen stepped up to replace the flag himself, the city told him no; offered collaboration, made promises, and then went silent. They expected the conversation to die.

But this is my land. And I expect my elected officials to look up.

This country has never been perfect. It stands for the idea that no one is above the law, that the vulnerable deserve protection, and that the powerful can be questioned. That idea does not defend itself. It requires neighbors who refuse to look away, even when they are called names for it… even when the city hopes they will just give up.

So today, look up. Notice the flag. Notice what is broken. Notice what is worth saving. And then ask yourself: are your elected officials looking up with you, or are they waiting for you to stop asking?

Neighbors first, always. 🇺🇸

CASPER, Wyo. — Polling places can change from one election to the next, for reasons as varied as a closed business, a sold property or a relocated town

Protect. Public. Lands. 🏔️

No asterisks. No fine print. No "trust us."

The Miracle Mile isn't a bargaining chip. The North Platte isn't a cooling pond. Our water isn't for sale.
