Serving the Big Horn Basin for over 100 years

U.S. Senate: Democrat - Scott Morrow

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

Laramie; from May 2008 to June 2012, moved back October 2019 equals almost 10 years.

Why are you running for Senate? 

In my current volunteer job as president of the largest APWU chartered retiree chapter in this area, I have unsuccessfully lobbied for one of our most vulnerable demographics to no avail as my Congressional Delegation votes 100% of the time against retirees and seniors. I vote every election, call and write the current incumbents multiple times each month and we are ignored and forgotten. 

When the Wyoming State Democratic Party asked me to run, I had to say yes.  Someone needs to vote for the elderly and women's equal rights in the equality state and that will be me! The congressional delegation from Wyoming ALL voted against permanent status for the enhanced child tax credit that lifted at least 30% of children in Wyoming and elsewhere out of poverty while in effect.

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

I intend to represent Wyoming first and the Nation second.  The most important issue is freedom for women so that big brother is not constantly getting between them and their doctors regarding reproductive health care.  Equally important is all the kids in Wyoming who live in poverty and go to bed hungry every night.

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

I am an outsider so I can only commit to working very hard across party lines to get support for the plethora of ideas and even bills killed by our current Senators and Representative at large for the US House.  A perfect example is when they whine about the border and then kill a bipartisan bill that would have fixed many of the issues. Working across the aisle on one hand looks possible (when James Lankford is part of the bipartisan group it does not get any better than that) while on the other hand as long as a convicted criminal runs the other party and only cares about himself, a nearly insurmountable challenge presents for working across the aisle.
