President Bebout Calls Newest Lawmakers ‘Focused, Passionate and Committed to Serving their Communities’
Cheyenne, Wyoming – Citing their tremendous focus, passion and commitment to the communities they represent, Wyoming Senate President Eli Bebout praised the seven freshmen members of the Senate today at the conclusion of the General Session of the 64th Wyoming State Legislature.
“I am incredibly proud of the seven freshmen members of the Wyoming Senate,” said Senate President Eli Bebout. “During a tough session, they have shown unwavering focus, grit, passion and determination. Each and every one of them have put in long hours, studied and educated themselves on a myriad of issues, and debated vigorously on behalf of their constituents. Their commitment to serving the people of Wyoming should make their communities proud.”
Seven new lawmakers joined the Wyoming State Senate this year. They are Senator Wyatt Agar (SD-20), Senator Liisa Anselmi-Dalton (SD-12), Senator Baldwin (SD-14), Senator Anthony Bouchard (SD-06), Senator Affie Ellis (SD-08), Senator Glenn Moniz (SD-10) and Senator Tara Nethercott (SD-04).
“Most people do not understand the tremendous sacrifice legislators, and their family’s, make to represent their home districts here in Cheyenne,” continued President Bebout. “They leave their spouses, their children, their jobs, their homes and their lives for two months. They work 12-hour days, attend events with their constituents at night and get back to their rooms late to begin studying up on issues for the next day. The newest members of the Senate have gone above and beyond this session in service to the people they represent.”
