Over the past twenty or more years, we have seen a rise in the belief that we live in a democracy and that what the majority wants should be implemented. While this is true, there is nuance to it. We do not live in a direct democracy; we live in a democratic constitutional republic. What this means for you is that mob rule and populism do not control the governing bodies or your representatives. What is worse about ideological populism is that it ends up being the wants and d

My priority as a candidate for County Commissioner is to ensure that our way of life in Natrona County remains protected. Whether it’s data centers or energy projects, my approach follows one core rule: local residents should never have to subsidize or suffer the consequences of industrial development. As we move into the future and our county grows and our need for technology increases, we are seeing more proposals for massive, industrial projects including hyperscale data c

When looking at the budget at any level of government, it is vital that representatives take inflation into consideration. Most elected officials do not appear to be doing so. I have personally seen elected officials at both the city and state levels claim they are unable to provide raises to their employees, maintain roads, or purchase necessary equipment. The usual explanation is a “budget shortfall.” However, even with a decrease in actual revenue, the critical services pr

As Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month draws to an end. I would like to talk about some disturbing statistics about an uncomfortable truth here in Wyoming. According to data from the Wyoming Department of Health from 2024 men accounted for 88% of all suicide deaths in Wyoming. Not only that, men in Wyoming tend to be more successful in their attempts, spiking the mortality rate for suicide attempts in men to about five times that of women. I would love to see both of those nu

I believe in voting for the person and not a label. Here is my take on the current split that seems to have developed in the Republican Party in this state. On Political Labels: I have been asked recently if I am “Freedom Caucus,” probably so that they can put me in a box. I am not a box-checker. I do not care if someone is a member of a particular caucus or if they are not a member. I care if that individual has a good head on their shoulders and good, fiscally responsible,

Last night, I attended the Natrona County Board of County Commissioners meeting. I had the opportunity to hear the concerns of our neighbors, many of whom live in Converse County, about the proposed Prometheus hyper‑scale data center in Converse County. Even though the data center itself is supposed to be in Converse County, the power generation and man camp are proposed to be on this side of the border. Seeing this struggle unfolding on our doorstep is a reminder of how fort

I have been asked by many constituents to provide straight "YES" or "NO" answers on controversial projects currently before the Natrona County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) or likely to come before it soon. You are probably not going to like what you are about to read...but it is the truth, and I will not pretend otherwise. I would love to be able to provide those answers. However, the plain fact is that the position of county commissioner is not like that of a State L

I have my booth spot reserved. Hope to see you there. This is a great opportunity for all of us to hear from the US House candidates who have decided to attend! Cameron Savage Candidate, Natrona County Commissioner

I trust the people to want to make an informed decision. While the office is not a statewide position, it is one that warrants a high level of scrutiny. The emergency response plans for our counties, the growth of our communities, and the collection of our revenue all funnel through these boards. Each county in Wyoming is run in a distinct fashion. In Natrona County, we want to know what your base views are, and the party identifier is a prime way to accomplish that goal. Man

James Madison, one of our Founding Fathers, wrote in his letters to Thomas Jefferson and others that the Bill of Rights, if passed, would eventually be used by future leaders to limit any rights that were not explicitly outlined in the text. He eventually caved to pressure and compromised. He authored the Ninth Amendment specifically to protect all rights that were not listed in the initial bill. Yet, the Supreme Court of the United States has almost never used this amendment

(Originally posted to Facebook on 5-25-2026) Recently, CISA (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), an agency run by the federal government, had a data breach that went unchecked for six months. This was a catastrophic failure of best practices and common sense. In November, a contractor to CISA created a repository on GitHub titled “Private-CISA.” It was not a secure private repository; it was open to anyone in the world. It was only shut down on May 15, 2026

(Originally posted to Facebook on May 20 at 10:40 PM) I need to clear up a couple of things that Google’s AI system has completely wrong about my platform. Google has shown statements saying things like I want to “remove delays for private‑sector data centers” and that I am focused on “attracting private‑sector developments, including data centers.” Neither of those statements is true. I have never supported blanket fast‑tracking, removing delays, or giving special treatment

(Taken from Facebook; originally posted on May 11 at 6:27 PM) I am glad to be running to represent you on the Natrona County Board of Commissioners. As a community, we need to choose to move forward and become the most technology and energy friendly county in Wyoming. We need to encourage business growth so our residents can benefit from high paying, sustainable jobs, while still preserving the qualities that make Wyoming a great place to live. We need to embrace technologies
