THIS PAST TUESDAY’S ELECTION brought great news for Fremont County – our communities, our families, our employers and businesses, and our workforce. Local voters said YES to providing stabilized funding for ambulance services, and the continuation of both airline and public transportation services. For all involved in making this happen, we owe a debt of gratitude. Here are just of handful of the wonderful supporters that got this job done.
THANKS to over 600 Advocates, and all the support provided.
By sharing our social media posts, by speaking up in support as the opposition took their best shots at us, by creating your own positive messaging for text messaging, social media and newspaper ad distribution, by showing up at community meetings and listening sessions, by displaying yard signs, as door-knockers and all-around cheerleaders, you have been our greatest indicator of success, and our greatest morale booster when times felt rough.
Thank you for keeping us focused and moving forward.
THANKS to our “celebrity” spokespeople –
Sarah Trembly and John Larsen in Lander, Corte McGuffy, Jack Schmidt, Ruby Calvert, Brad Tyndall, Mike Bailey and Ryan Preston in Riverton, and Mick Pryor in Hudson – thank you for being willing to put yourself out there in front of this campaign through video,
social media and print promotions. You likely took some slings-and-arrows on our behalf. We appreciate your courage. Thanks for putting our community needs first.
THANKS to our “bill payers.” Maybe nobody appreciates what economically was at stake,
more than the boards of IDEA Inc and Wind River Development Company who provided much of the funding that allowed us to mount this multi-media campaign.
THANKS to our PAC members –
Clint Click, Carol Harper, Jared and Cheryl Whitebull, Julie Buller, April Goggles, Dominick Sapien, Jett Odle, Kevin Kershisnik, a few others, and PAC cochairs Sarah Reilley and Cathy Cline. We’ve come through a lot. We pooled our people and energy resources to pull together a far-reaching, effective and honorable campaign.
THANKS to our “educators” that provided un-biased, non-political factual information on our three essential services.
These guys, generally as public servants, were not able to ask for a vote but they were very persuasive by simply telling the truth and providing the facts. To Kyle Butterfield, Tim Nichols, Mick Pryor and Chris Konija, we appreciate these efforts. And thanks to the folks that made forums available to them – from the Riverton Chamber to multiple service organizations and senior centers and local coffee clatches.
THANKS to our local suppliers, who have been tremendous support.
Western Printing and Ranger Printers helped get our mailers out and signage up. WyoToday, Riverton Ranger, Lander Journal, Dubois Frontier, County 10 and Spectrum – your reach has been critical to this effort. To graphic artists Anita Duran and Kim Draper, with help from Natalie Dickerson, and Kalen Marketing of Casper, thank you for your creativity and technical talents.
Our most sincere THANKS go to you, the citizens for Fremont County, for your Vision of our future, your Wyoming Values in support of our neighbors, your Voice for our economic health and your Vote for the good of all of our communities.
Now the real work begins.
