U.S. House: Democrat – Kyle G. Cameron

Where do you currently reside and how long have you lived in Wyoming?

I was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and raised on the south side of the city. My mother was born in Dubois, Wyoming, and my father near Sperry, Oklahoma.

In Wyoming, I have lived in Casper, Rock Springs, Laramie, Carpenter, and Cheyenne. While I have spent most of my life in Wyoming, I have also lived in Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, and California. I hold a degree from the University of Wyoming, a master’s in science from Colorado State University, and a master’s in philosophy from Walden University.

Why are you running for Congress?

I am running for Congress because I believe it is our duty as citizens to participate in the democratic process. This is the third time I have put my name on the ballot — first for the Laramie County Conservation District, which I lost, and second for Precinct Committeewoman in Laramie County, which I won. At over six decades old, I am deeply troubled by the current state of our government and the threats to our democracy. I refuse to sit idly by and hope for things to improve without taking action.

When I reviewed the voting records of the Republican primary candidates, I was appalled. Representative Hageman has consistently voted against workers and in favor of corporations, according to the AFL-CIO. She has voted to defund NATO, an alliance crucial to Wyoming’s security. Despite her claims of securing infrastructure dollars for Wyoming, she has failed to bring any beneficial federal funds into the state or enact legislation that benefits the future of Wyoming.

My campaign is driven by the core values that I, and many Wyomingites, hold dear: freedom, community, hard work, honesty, and conservation. My resiliency has equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to serve effectively. I am committed to standing up for what I believe in and ensuring that the voices of hardworking Wyomingites are heard and respected in Congress.

What is THE most important issue facing our country that you hope to help address if elected?

The most important issue I hope to address if elected is the protection and expansion of reproductive rights, ensuring everyone is secure in their productive health and autonomy over their personhood.

Access to various contraceptive methods, such as condoms, abortion, birth control pills, and long-acting options like IUDs, must be available and affordable for all. The right to choose abortion is essential, and safe, legal access to these services must be protected from excessive restrictions. Procedures like vasectomies and tubal ligations should be accessible without coercion or unnecessary barriers.

Advocating for reproductive rights means protecting these rights from restrictive laws and supporting legislation that upholds reproductive freedom. It also involves addressing disparities in access to reproductive healthcare that affect marginalized communities, ensuring equal services for all.

I am committed to championing policies that safeguard and advance reproductive rights. This ensures everyone has the resources, knowledge, and autonomy to make personal decisions about their reproductive health, securing their personhood and dignity.

Do you feel you are able to work across party lines to find solutions to issues for the betterment of the country?

My thought is that there are some people in Congress who possess common sense and can work across party lines. Collaborating with them will lead to legislation that benefits Wyoming’s future. I have always believed in voting for the best person to do the job. I am the best candidate to represent Wyoming in the U.S. House of Representatives because I have a deep understanding of our state’s values, a commitment to protecting individual freedoms, and the ability to work across party lines to achieve meaningful legislation for Wyoming’s future.
