Politicians have failed young people on healthcare

Healthcare is a major issue where Trauner feels politicians have failed younger people. "I was surprised how much young people were worried about it, I hadn't thought about it when I was 18-years old," said Trauner.

The national debt as well as student load debt are issues Trauner says concern young people he talks to. "That's a system where kids are coming out $30,000 in debt--that doesn't work."

In this campaign, Trauner has used social media to interact with supporters and non-supporters alike. He does a weekly Facebook Live event where he says every question is answered, even those that may be negative or unfavorable.

Everyday citizens deserve same health care as Congress gets

Every American should have access to basic, quality health care, not just those who are wealthy or who receive health care coverage through their employer. ÿEvery American should have the type of excellent health care insurance options available today to Congress. ÿIn addition, our employers should not be making business decisions based on the spiraling cost of providing health care to employees. The current state of health care policy in America is immoral, unacceptable and unsustainable. ÿ Source: 2018 Wyoming Senatorial campaign website TraunerForWY.com , Feb 22, 2018
