★ Laramie First

Real Problems. Pragmatic Solutions.

Albany County families are squeezed by rising taxes, a housing crunch, and Cheyenne priorities that put institutions ahead of people. Here is exactly where Shane Swett stands — and how he'll fix it.

The Priorities

Three Fights That Hit Home

Property Taxes

Automatic Property Tax Relief

The Problem
Starting in 2026, Laramie homeowners and seniors 65 and older are forced to re-apply every single year just to receive the 25% and 50% property tax exemptions they already earned. Miss the paperwork, miss the relief.

Shane's Solution

Permanent, Automatic Relief.

You shouldn't have to navigate bureaucratic red tape every year just to keep your own money. Shane will fight to make these exemptions permanent and automatic — applied to your bill without the annual runaround.

Education

Classroom-First Education Funding

The Problem
The University of Wyoming is the lifeblood of Albany County, and our K-12 schools are the heart of every neighborhood. But blanket spending with no accountability lets dollars disappear into administrative bloat instead of reaching students.

Shane's Solution

Protect Education. Demand Accountability.

Shane will protect our schools and the University from devastating cuts — but unlike the current representation, he will demand strict fiscal accountability so funding reaches classrooms and local K-12 teachers, not layers of administration.

Housing

Attainable Housing for Working Families

The Problem
Young families, UW graduates, and working people are being priced out of the very town they call home. Layers of government regulation and permitting delays stop builders from adding the attainable housing Laramie desperately needs.

Shane's Solution

Cut the Tape. Build the Homes.

Shane backs free-market solutions that cut the regulatory red tape holding developers back — so we can keep UW graduates and young families in Laramie instead of watching them leave for good.
