In July, the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce Public Policy Committee and Gillette Public Access (GPA) TV invited candidates running for public offices to film a three-minute statement on their plans to improve or sustain the business environment in Campbell County and the state of Wyoming. The offices invited to film include city council, county commissioner, governor, mayor of Gillette, mayor of Wright, auditor, house of representatives, senate, treasurer and superintendent of public instruction. Of the nearly 60 candidates invited, 26 responded. The Chamber hopes that the candidates' statements help the business community vote for the candidates who are focused on strengthening the business environment in which this community operates.
