★ A Vision for Laramie

Common-Sense Solutions for Every Laramie Family.

Working families, retirees, and students are all feeling the squeeze of rising costs. Shane Swett offers a pragmatic, economy-first agenda — grounded in Wyoming values — with room for everyone who wants a stronger, more affordable Laramie.

The Big Tent Platform

Laramie First

Three practical priorities that put your paycheck, your home, and your kids ahead of the bureaucracy.

Property Taxes

Keep Your Own Money

Retirees and established families who built this town are being priced out of their own homes. Shane will fight for automatic, permanent property tax caps — so you keep more of what you’ve earned without battling bureaucratic red tape every single year just to stay in Laramie.

Housing & Business

Cut the Red Tape

Young families can’t find attainable homes, and local business owners are buried in paperwork. Instead of chasing costly green mandates, Shane will deregulate local zoning to spur affordable housing construction and give Laramie’s small businesses room to grow, hire, and thrive.

Education

Classrooms Over Bureaucracy

The University of Wyoming is Laramie’s economic engine and our K-12 schools are the heart of every neighborhood. Shane will protect core education funding — while demanding real accountability so your tax dollars reach students and teachers, not layers of administrative bloat.
