ROCK SPRINGS — State Representative JoAnn Dayton has announced her intent to seek a second term in the Wyoming House of Representatives.

“I’m grateful to the resident of House District 17 for giving me the opportunity and honor to serve them for the last two years. I’d like to continue that service in the 64th Wyoming State Legislature.”

“Given the shortfall in revenues, Wyoming will be facing some challenging times economically. Tough decisions will have to be made and my time spent on the Revenue Committee has prepared me well for those discussions. It will take a combination of strategies to get us back where we need to be and preserve our way of life. As always, my main priority will be to put people before politics and ideology.”

In addition to the Revenue Committee, Representative Dayton serves on the Labor, Health and Social Services Committee, and the Select Committee on Federal Natural Resource Management Committee.

“I look forward to hearing the thoughts, questions, and concerns of my friends and neighbors in House District 17. I look forward to visiting with them over the next few months as we continue to work together.”

House District 17 covers much of Rock Springs, Superior, Reliance and Eastern and Southern Sweetwater County.
