I grew up about two hours north of the Gulf of America on the Mississippi line in Jackson, Alabama.
I was raised in the kind of family where you were expected to work hard and pay for/ make your own way. I graduated from the University of Alabama with a business degree, and I met my husband, Jonathan, 20 years ago when I moved to Wyoming. We are small businesses owners in Jackson, and we have four daughters and a bunch of pets.
My political involvement in Wyoming began when I noticed a consultant trying to fleece the state for $10 million. I’d wake up at 2am, drive to Cheyenne and sit through a full day of committee meetings, then try to reason with the committee over five minutes of public comment. Then I’d drive back home. I also began attending a few state GOP events during this time.
In 2020, I received an email from the Wyoming GOP stating that volunteers were needed in Wisconsin and Michigan to canvass for Trump. I signed up and spent nearly a week with my sister knocking on 1,200 doors in a suburb of Detroit. Here is a little piece I wrote about that experience.
Like many true Republicans in Teton County, when I would try to get involved in my local party I did not feel their values reflected mine. For years I have been filing public records requests, showing up at public meetings, and doing what I can to fight back at the socialism which is taking over Jackson. My friend, Blair Maus, and I, co-founded the Save the Rodeo & Fairgrounds movement, and we tried really hard to stop housing projects from being built on our historic public land.
In past elections, my children and I have nearly knocked on hundreds of doors in Teton and Lincoln County in hopes of getting Republicans elected. I began working to change our local GOP leadership. My husband, Jonathan, and I are precinct committee people. I am thankful to be the State Committeewoman for the Teton County Republican Party!
I am currently focused on the “low-income” housing scams across Wyoming. Many of these complexes do not pay ANY property tax! They also are not required to be occupied by “low-income” tenants!
I previously served as a board member for the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, but of course I did not get reappointed by Governor Gordon. I wonder if it is because I fought hard against things like inappropriate monologue performances and transgender bathrooms being installed at theaters with taxpayer dollars.
Twice I have been honored to be selected as an alternate delegate for the Republican National Convention in 2020 and 2024. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know delegates from around the state in Milwaukee this past summer.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking and floating down the Snake River with my family. I also drive all over the state looking at petroglyphs, and I can essentially summarize most informational signs around Wyoming.
I am a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and I love learning about my ancestors. My Mother’s family, the Comptons, have lived in Alabama since the early 1800s and are considered a Pioneer Family. They heroically fought in all the wars and typically earned a living as farmers. Many of them could not sign the census and simply had to write an “x” for their names, but I am very grateful that they tirelessly toiled away to make our country the greatest country in the world.
I am a political conference junkie, and have attended many Republican events hosted by organizations like FreedomWorks and Turning Point USA, etc, around the country. I am also a Christian and attend Cornerstone Church in Jackson.
I recently ran across this video of my oldest daughter, Harper, who is now 14-years-old. This was taken back on the Hageman 2018 campaign trail!
