"Jeanette Ward announced she’s running as a Republican in a suburban district that is being vacated by Rep. Chuck Gray so he can run for secretary of state.
"Although Ward has been in Casper less than a year, she thinks she’s the best person to represent the residents of HD57. Since arriving in Wyoming, Ward said she has been “quite involved politically and very connected with the liberty lovers here.”
"She was a part of the recent pro-life protests at the abortion clinic that is being built in Casper. She’s also a part of the Natrona County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national organization that promotes parental rights in government.
..."If she’s successful in this race, Ward said she wants to ensure that Wyoming’s future nuclear power plants are fueled with Wyoming uranium and wants to see a cap put on property taxes. TerraPower, the company bringing the first nuclear reactor to Wyoming, said that future reactors could be fueled with the state’s untapped uranium reserves, but not in time for this first plant.
"Ward would also like to put a property tax cap of 3% in place, just as Gray attempted to do during the 2021 session. Property taxes in many Wyoming counties have risen considerably in the last couple of years, putting the costs out of reach for many residents.
