Bill > SJ0002

This joint resolution calls upon Wyoming's representatives in the U.S. Congress to champion the principles of federalism, which means upholding the balance of power between the federal government and individual states as outlined in the U.S. Constitution's Tenth Amendment, where powers not given to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people. The resolution emphasizes that states, like Wyoming, are best positioned to create election laws and policies that suit their citizens' needs, acting as "laboratories of democracy." It specifically urges Congress to support actions, potentially including a constitutional amendment, that would solidify each state's authority to manage its own elections and regulate campaign finance and other influences on the electoral process, ensuring that elections remain responsive to the people of each state and free from undue external influence. The resolution also directs the Wyoming Secretary of State to send copies of this message to various federal officials and Wyoming's congressional delegation.
