Listen to the press conference: Gov Dave backs Gary Trauner
Gov. Dave Freudenthal explained why he is supporting Gary Trauner for Congress this year during a press conference Wednesday, Oct. 25, in the State Capitol Building rotunda.
"It is time for a change, and the change did not occur in the Republican primary," Freudenthal said. "Gary Trauner is passionate about serving Wyoming and our citizens. If you have any doubts, simply examine the hard work, openness, and statewide nature of his campaign. Gary Trauner is bright, hardworking, business-oriented, and articulate. I believe Gary Trauner will make us proud as our representative. If not, we can vote him out in a short two years."
In response to questions from the press, Freudenthal praised Trauner for his willingness to listen and travel the state. Trauner has visited more than 15,000 homes across Wyoming. "There's no better education than going door-to-door in the state," Freudenthal said.
The governor also said ability is more important than experience for Wyoming's only member of the 435-member U.S. House of Representatives.
