August 18, 2026 — Republican Primary

Thank You, District 13!

From the bottom of my heart — thank you to every patriot across Albany County and House District 13 who made their voice heard in the Republican Primary. Your trust, your time at the polls, and your belief in common-sense leadership mean everything to me and my family.

This victory belongs to all of us — the neighbors, small-business owners, ranchers, students, and families of Laramie who are ready for real representation in Cheyenne. We proved that grassroots grit beats big-money politics.

Now we carry this momentum straight into the General Election on November 3. The fight for permanent property tax relief, attainable housing, and locally controlled schools is just getting started. Let's finish what we started — together.

Why I'm Running

Bringing Common Sense Back to Cheyenne

Families across Albany County are feeling the squeeze — property taxes climbing, housing out of reach, and a government that too often forgets who it works for. Shane is running to change that with practical, kitchen-table solutions.

Watch Shane share, in his own words, why he's stepping up to fight for the working families of House District 13.

Meet Shane — Laramie Roots

Deep Ties to District 13

  1. Laramie Roots

    A Lifelong Albany County Neighbor

    Shane has spent his life in Laramie and Albany County — raising a family, building relationships, and putting down deep roots in the community he now seeks to serve.

  2. Hard Work

    Built on Blue-Collar Values

    From working with his hands to running a small operation, Shane knows the value of a hard day’s work and what it takes for families to make ends meet in today’s economy.

  3. Local Economy

    Understands the Local Ecosystem

    Shane understands how agriculture, energy, small business, and the University of Wyoming all fit together to drive Laramie’s economy — and how the wrong policies from Cheyenne can put it all at risk.

  4. Public Service

    Ready to Serve — Then Come Home

    A proud supporter of U.S. Term Limits, Shane believes in citizen legislators who go to Cheyenne to serve their neighbors, then return home to live under the laws they pass.

“The people of District 13 deserve a representative who listens, who shows up, and who puts their interests above politics. That's exactly what I intend to do.”

Where Shane Stands

The Platform

Permanent Property Tax Relief

  • Wyoming families should never be taxed out of the homes they worked a lifetime to earn.
  • Shane will fight to make property tax relief permanent — not a temporary fix that expires and leaves homeowners exposed again.
  • Real relief means predictable bills and free-market solutions, so working families and seniors keep more of what they earn.

Attainable Housing & Cutting Red Tape

  • Laramie’s young families, workers, and seniors are being priced out by a housing shortage government red tape made worse.
  • Shane backs free-market solutions: cutting permitting delays and burdensome regulations so builders can actually build.
  • Government shouldn’t stand in the way of attainable homes — it should get out of the way and let the market work.

Protecting Education & Local Control

  • Our kids deserve a strong education — and our tax dollars should reach the classroom, not get lost in bureaucracy.
  • Shane supports local control, so Laramie parents and school boards — not distant bureaucrats — make decisions for our children.
  • Protecting education funding while demanding accountability ensures every dollar works for students and teachers.
