Mr. President, I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation to Payton Smith for his hard work as an intern in my office in Cheyenne, WY. I recognize his efforts and contributions to my office, as well as to the State of Wyoming.
Payton is a native of Cheyenne. He graduated in 2024 from Central High School. He is a senior at Rutgers University, where he is a member of the Rutgers Pre-Law Society and the Conservation Club. After he graduates with a major in political science, along with minors in environmental science and creative writing, he hopes to attend law school and eventually practice environmental law. He has demonstrated a strong work ethic, which has made him an invaluable asset to our office. The quality of his work is reflected in his great efforts over the last several months.
