WHEATLAND – Reid Rasner, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, electrified Wheatland on July 2nd with a series of impactful events. Starting at the First State Bank and later at the Wild Whisk restaurant, Rasner engaged in dynamic meet-and-greets, addressing the critical issues facing Wyoming. A focal point of his discussions was energy, a vital concern for the hardworking people of Wheatland. Rasner passionately spoke about the looming challenges posed by new solar and wind projects, warning they threaten coal industry jobs by promoting Green New Deal principles over the crucial American energy independence, which he argued is essential for national security.
Adding to the day's significance, these events unfolded as Senator Barrasso privately refused a PBS debate invitation, forcing the cancellation of an important civic event. This debate would have provided a platform for Wyomingites to directly question their elected officials and candidates. Barrasso's refusal highlights a lack of transparency, underscoring Rasner’s commitment to grassroots engagement. As he launches his 23-county tour, Reid Rasner is dedicated to connecting with Wyomingites across the state, ensuring their voices are heard and their concerns addressed.
