How We Can Retain the Next Generation in Wyoming

 

🧭 Why This Matters

Wyoming has the oldest population in America, and every year we lose more young adults to other states. If we want strong communities, a stable workforce, and long‑term economic growth, we must make Wyoming a place where young people can build a life, not just grow up.

District 58 deserves a future where our kids and grand kids can stay, work, and thrive.

🏗️ 1. Create Real Career Opportunities

Young people leave when they can’t find jobs that match their skills or ambitions. We can change that by:

  • Expanding career and technical education
  • Supporting energy, trades, tech, and healthcare job pipelines
  • Encouraging new industries to invest in Natrona County
  • Strengthening partnerships between schools and local employers

🏡 2. Make Wyoming Affordable for Young Families

Young adults want to stay — but only if they can afford to.

We can help by:

  • Supporting affordable starter homes
  • Keeping taxes low
  • Expanding childcare options
  • Ensuring reliable broadband for remote work

When young families can build a life here, our communities stay strong.

🚀 3. Support Entrepreneurship & Small Business

Wyoming’s future depends on innovators and risk‑takers.

District 58 can lead by:

  • Cutting red tape for new businesses
  • Offering local incentives for startups
  • Supporting apprenticeships and mentorship programs

Young people value quality of life — and Wyoming has it in abundance.

We can retain them by:

  • Protecting access to public lands
  • Expanding outdoor recreation programs
  • Supporting youth hunting, fishing, and conservation
  • Promoting Wyoming’s unique lifestyle to young professionals

When students see a future here, they stay here.

🧡 6. Build Communities Young People Want to Live In
