Natrona County, Wyoming, State Senator Bob Ide is running for a second term in District 29. He joined Wyoming radio talk host Glenn Woods to talk about what he did in his first term and what he hopes to accomplish in a second.

You can listen to the audio of that interview below.

Mr. Ide is a Ron Paul-inspired Republican. You'll even find an endorsement from Ron Paul on Mr. Ide's website. That makes him more of a libertarian thinker than a traditional Republican. That means small government, big liberty.

"More Freedom, Less Government…" it says on his website.  "These words are not a simple campaign slogan. They are words that convey the vital concept that our Founding Fathers had for our nation. I share that same vision for our state, our county, and particularly for Wyoming Senate District 29."

Listen to the full interview below.

Bob Ide has been a local business owner, making my home in Casper for 45 years. It is where he raised his family and built a business.

As a limited government thinker, he believes in adhering to budgets, limited spending, and the dangers of debt.

"If you share the same vision of defending life, adhering to our Constitution, limiting government, lowering taxes and regulations, preserving our right to bear arms, reducing spending and making Wyoming First, please join me in my efforts to reclaim our State."

"The people of Wyoming cannot truly be free while allowing decades of unsustainable spending to put us in debt. With Federal debt reaching historic levels every single month that goes by, the last thing we can afford is overspending at the state level."
