The speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives is under fire from members of his own party who are accusing him of favoring the interests of teachers unions by blocking votes on parental rights and school choice legislation.

The Wyoming teachers union is opposed to the legislation banning sexual orientation teaching in the classroom.

State Rep. Jeannette Ward said Sommers's actions, as well as those of her colleagues supportive of the speaker, were failing to put the interests of the people of Wyoming first. Sommers's continued block on the school choice bill also roiled education freedom activists, who ripped the Republican state lawmaker for refusing to even afford the legislation a vote on the school choice bill shortly after the Friday motion failed.

House Dems hit GOP on debt ceiling in 2024 opening salvoHouse Democrats' campaign operation is focusing some of its earliest spending of the cycle on hitting Republicans over the debt ceiling, Social Security and Medicare spending. The job of the legislature is to do the work of the people, the “people’s house”. Both parties will not likely be able to agree on 100% of the agenda of the other party, but they must find compromise on 70%+, pass the legislation and make progress. That is truly “progressive”.
