House candidates speak in Cheyenne CHEYENNE, WYO. (wpr) - The candidates for Wyoming's seat in the U.S. House spoke at a forum in Cheyenne yesterday.

It was held during a barbecued rib festival.

All three candidates agreed on one thing: The federal government, and especially Congress, hasn't gotten its act together on big problems facing the nation right now.

Republican Cynthia Lummis says Wyoming could teach Washington a thing or two about balanced budgets and good governance.

Democrat Gary Trauner says he wants to be able to tell his young sons that he tried to do something about the problems in Washington.

Libertarian David Herbert offers one possible solution - writing bills that "say what they mean and mean what they say."

The three are vying to replace Representative Barbara Cubin, who's not seeking re-election. © Copyright 2009, wpr
