Campaign Finance Report - August 13, 2026

​

This week, campaign finance reports revealed something I think you should know before Tuesday.

 

I have never taken a dime from a PAC or another political committee, not in this campaign, and not when I ran in 2024. My opponent has accepted more than $5,000 from PACs this year.

 

That difference shows up in your mailbox. I'm sure we're all ready for campaign season to end; the onslaught of political mail has been overwhelming, and every piece of it costs money. I've sent two mailers this entire election. That's what a campaign looks like when it's funded by the people who live here.

 

The first was about my record, what I've accomplished as your State Representative for House District 51. The second laid out a few clear policy differences between my opponent and me, because you deserve to know what your choices are. No vague platitudes, just real differences on the issues.

 

I think voters deserve the facts, and then they can decide for themselves.

 

I work for the people of House District 51. I work hard to represent everyone in this district, especially the individual citizen and taxpayer who doesn't have a lobbyist in Cheyenne.

 

I've been honored to be your representative in Cheyenne, and I would be honored to continue to represent you. Both mailers are on my campaign website if you'd like to read them.

 

I'm Laurie Bratten, and I'm asking for your vote in the Republican Primary this Tuesday, August 18th. Thank you.
