The following is a statement sent to SVI Media by Rep. Scott Heiner

I am grateful for the opportunity to represent southwest Wyoming for the past 6 years. During this time, I have been instrumental in passing a 25% property tax cut, strengthened gun rights, election integrity, passed legislation to prevent abortions, and passed laws to protect our youth.

As the House Majority Floor Leader, I managed the daily floor schedule during the session to pass a budget that slowed the growth of state government and pass school funding recalibration that had not been accomplished for 15 years.

As chairman of the House Minerals, Business & Economic Development Committee, I have strengthened Wyoming’s energy future and I continue to work diligently to bring a new coal-fired electric power plant to Wyoming using the latest science and technology. I also serve on the University of Wyoming’s Energy Resources Council and on the Energy Council Executive Committee which is a group of 14 energy-producing states and 2 Canadian provinces.

I have tried to listen and respond to the concerns of citizens in each of the communities that I have been entrusted to represent. My greatest accomplishments are when I can step in and help citizens navigate the obstacles of government. My voting record aligns closely with the Republican Party platform as I strive to limit government overreach and improve transparency of where public money is being spent. I promise to continue the fight to bring government back to the people, a government that serves the people as outlined in our state constitution. It is a privilege and a great honor to serve the citizens of HD18 and I hope to be able to continue.
