CASPER, Wyo. — As the Aug. 18 primary election approaches, Edis Allen is running for Wyoming House District 62. Allen says he is fed up with the current representative prioritizing party interests over the needs of the community.

Challenges Facing Constituents

Allen believes the most crucial challenges his constituents are facing are being neglected by the current representative. He says the representative has turned his back on the community’s schools, law enforcement, and small businesses to maintain his standing with national committees.

Allen argues that an elected official’s primary duty is to be the voice of their constituents, not a rubber stamp for a political machine. He promises to judge every piece of legislation based on whether it helps the community, rather than following a party line.

Qualifications and Priorities

Allen says his allegiance will belong to the community, and he will not be swayed by state party bosses or special interests. He cares about results for the families in the community and wants to send a clear message that their votes cannot be taken for granted.
