Tim Salazar

R · S26

Voted Yes

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker supports the bill because it allows local farmers and ranchers to sell meat products without USDA approval while maintaining state inspections, which helps keep dollars within Wyoming. He also notes that rising food prices make this an opportunity to provide freedom to producers and help with inflation.
