Wyoming Supports Robert Short!

I am proud to support Robert Short and his candidacy for Secretary of State because of his leadership in Converse County and his personal commitment to youth programs. Robert has been a longtime champion of the Boys and Girls Club, playing a key role as a Converse County Commissioner in working together with private donors and the City of Douglas to successfully fund the capital campaign for the new facility. His leadership helped turn a vision into a reality that now serves countless families in our community.

Beyond his public role, Robert and his wife, Janella, have demonstrated their commitment through generous personal giving to several Wyoming youth programs. I truly appreciate working alongside Robert in our shared passion for providing safe, educational after-school programming for our youth. His efforts ensure that children have a positive place to grow and learn while giving parents and guardians the support they need to remain in the workforce. I look forward to having Robert Short in a leadership role for the state of Wyoming.

He's so darn smart, logical, resolute (yet flexible) and I can go on and on. He taught me so much when I was county clerk with his knowledge and experience in areas that I didn't understand or knew little about! And yep, he was one of my election judges! Another plus, he listens! I had some great discussions with him and it was OK to disagree, but we never left a discussion with anger or resentment!

I’m supporting Robert Short for Wyoming Secretary of State.

I met Robert through his years serving Converse County as a Commissioner. His constituents have continued to elect him as a consistent, level-headed leader who isn’t afraid to be bold.

He doesn’t traffic in fear-mongering instead of facts and he doesn’t have his eye on DC. He’s working for Wyoming. From infrastructure and public safety to broadband and business, he’s been part of the decisions that impact Wyoming.

Most importantly, he respects others, and the role of the Secretary of State. This job is about trust, accuracy, and making sure things are done right. It would be good to see a return to a steady, grownup approach to governing.

Please vote for Robert Short for Secretary of State.

Robert Short is one of the most hard-working people I know. He’s always willing to help and is such an asset to our community. He has done a great job as a County Commissioner and I think he is a superb candidate for Secretary of State for the great state of Wyoming.

I am writing to formally endorse Robert Short for the position of Wyoming Secretary of State. Having observed his years of service as a Converse County Commissioner, I am confident in his ability to uphold the integrity of our voting systems and ensure transparent state administration.

Having worked for Robert for the past five years as the Director of Communications for our Law Enforcement partners, I have witnessed his unwavering ethical standards firsthand. Robert possesses a sharp, analytical mind, likely sharpened by his background in electrical engineering and nuclear science. This intellectual depth allows him to grasp the technical complexities of state administration with precision.

During my tenure, I have seen Robert’s deep dedication to the people of Converse County. He employs a hands-on leadership style that ensures every voice is heard and every concern is addressed. I have also seen Robert navigate complex inter-agency conflicts and high-pressure situations with grace and clarity. He has a unique ability to analyze a problem, anticipate potential outcomes, and move forward in a way that protects the individuals involved.

I have also had the privilege to watch our county evolve as new policies and laws have been implemented, and I have seen the seriousness with which Robert approaches these changes. His oversight of the new Douglas Justice Center, including its second-phase expansion, has been unparalleled. He is involved in every discussion and maintains a full grasp of every detail pertaining to the building’s functionality. Additionally, Robert has consistently pushed for critical infrastructure projects, including his successful efforts to expand broadband and emergency services into the more remote areas of our county.

Robert has proven through action that he is here for the people; I have no doubt he will uphold the transparency and accountability the Secretary of State’s office requires.

I am writing to express my strong support and endorsement of Robert Short as the next Wyoming Secretary of State. This endorsement is grounded in a firm belief that the principles of integrity, accountability, and transparency must be central to this critical role.

As a Wyoming law enforcement leader, I know firsthand the importance of exceeding the trust and public confidence of those we serve while exemplifying core values that matter the most to the people of Wyoming. While serving as a Converse County Commissioner, I have seen Short’s commitment to integrity, both in word and action, demonstrating complete honesty in every decision. Furthermore, Short understands the importance of transparency and accountability in government operations. A commitment to clear communication, responsible stewardship of public resources, and impartial administration of duties is vital to maintaining public confidence.

Robert Short exemplifies the values long associated with Wyoming’s heritage, often described as the “code of the West”-honesty, self-reliance, fairness, and respect for others. These are not merely cultural ideals; they are essential qualities for effective governance. Robert Short has demonstrated both the character and judgment necessary to uphold these standards in service to the people of Wyoming as the next Secretary of State.

For these reasons, I respectfully and wholeheartedly support and endorse Robert Short for Wyoming Secretary of State. I encourage others to support a candidate who is dedicated to preserving the values that define our state and to serving its citizens with integrity, transparency, and honor.
