I want to take a moment to remind you of my journey to the U.S. Senate, the important lessons I have learned along the way, and why I continue to believe wholeheartedly in our beloved state.
My father, a World War II veteran, left school during the Great Depression to join the Army. Though he only had a ninth grade education, he built a career as a hard-working cement finisher. My mother, a dedicated voter who never missed an election, instilled in me the importance of civic duty.
From my parents, I inherited an unwavering love for this country that I have proudly carried throughout my life. It's something I strive to keep alive in Wyoming.
Later, in medical school, I learned the importance of having a plan before taking action, a lesson that has proven invaluable in both my medical career and my service as your senator. Just as in surgery, effective leadership requires a clear vision and a strategic approach to problem-solving.
As you may know, I am sometimes referred to as "Wyoming's doctor,"
but to be honest, that is what I have always strived to be as your senator. I have wholeheartedly dedicated myself to serving the state, addressing its challenges, and making it the best it can be.
Whether it's advocating for our veterans, championing American energy security, or safeguarding our borders, I've always strived to be a voice for all Wyoming people. Your concerns are my concerns, and your aspirations are my aspirations.
As we look towards the future, I'm confident that Wyoming has the potential to be an even stronger, more prosperous state.
But it will require strong leadership, a clear vision, and your continued support.
Already, your support has been instrumental in my journey, and I promise to continue fighting for the issues that matter most to Wyoming families.
Sincerely,
Senator John Barrasso
