ME AND MY VALUES
Before retiring in 2013, Lynne spent her professional career designing user interfaces for a national science digital library. Her job was simple: take incredibly complex, technical systems and make them easy, intuitive, and accessible for human beings. Alongside her technical career, Lynne has been a lifelong “creative”—serving on the Board of Directors for a major makerspace, teaching metalsmithing and lapidary arts, and currently working as a local mixed-media artist whose work is featured in Cheyenne.
Now running for Laramie County Commissioner, Lynne brings that exact same user-centered, systems-thinking mindset to local government. She isn’t a career politician; she’s a pragmatist who believes that county policy should serve the everyday residents who live here.
Government works best when neighbors look out for neighbors. Lynne believes in practical problem-solving over partisan division.
From protecting the High Plains aquifer to preserving open spaces and public lands, growth must never come at the expense of our natural heritage or water security.
Complex government decisions shouldn't happen behind closed doors or in fine print. If a policy affects your water, roads, or taxes, you deserve a plain-language explanation before a vote happens—not an official statement afterward.
Libraries, schools, and community colleges are the backbone of a free, informed public. Lynne firmly opposes political censorship and believes in utilizing our public institutions to educate and empower our community.
