In Byron’s district some homes in Wilson are worth $30 million while some lots in Alpine can still go for $50,000. That’s just one of the big divides he straddles while lawmaking in Cheyenne. As a Republican, he takes pride in working with the Freedom Caucus, a far-right bloc that has the majority in the Wyoming House. He’s also not afraid to say he thinks some of their member’s behavior is unfair to Wyoming. From championing conservation in an oil and gas state to contemplating social issues like trans rights, Bryon advertises himself as a political bridge in a time when divisions reign. If you pick up the phone instead of sending a mean email, he says, he’ll buy you coffee.

Andy Schwartz is the legislative advisor for the town of Jackson, a blue speck in an increasingly bright red state. Jackson has become a political target, he said, leading the town to hire a lobbyist to monitor and respond to relevant bills. Having served eight years in the same statehouse, he’s seen the rise of national partisanship and the Freedom Caucus reducing bipartisan lawmaking. Still, he said, common ground and compromise are not just possible but necessary. 

“Once you find one point of agreement, you can then work through that,” Schwartz said. “And that's pretty much how I deal with the Freedom Caucus, because we disagree on a lot.”
