Issue Position: Constitutional Freedoms

Issue Position

Unfortunately, not all of Wyoming's current laws allow citizens to fully enjoy the most basic freedoms promised in the Bill of Rights.

One glaring example I see is in forced blood draws for drivers who refuse a Breathalyzer following traffic stops. The Constitution explicitly specifies in the Fifth Amendment that "no person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…" One's blood is witness against himself, violating that freedom.

Another hot-button issue in the last year is seen in Senate File 104, which stripped our Superintendent of Public Instruction of her constitutionally-guaranteed duties. Furthermore, this bill also neglected the voting rights of Wyoming's citizens by effectively nullifying the power of the vote.
