Pays Herself but Leaves Schools and Kids in the Lurch

Callous to New Mothers

Opposed mental health support for schools, developmental preschool services that help fund CDS in Fremont County, and also opposed inflation adjustments for Hathaway scholarships which make college affordable for our high school graduates.

Sabotages Firefighters

Shuns Suicide Help

Fremont County has some of the highest suicide rates in Wyoming, but Penn doesn’t care. She voted against starting the Wyoming 988 suicide prevention lifeline in 2023…a program that thankfully passed without her vote and has shown results in saving lives. (HB66, 2023)
