Sources and public data
This page provides public data to help readers evaluate the factual context for the campaign message. It is not a legal opinion or an independent economic forecast. Policy conclusions are Jimmy Skovgard's.
| Statement | Public source and context |
|---|---|
| Families face continuing pressure from the cost of necessities. | The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks consumer prices for food, gasoline, electricity, shelter, and other household categories. Its current CPI tables provide the national measurement context; individual household costs vary by location and usage. BLS Consumer Price Index |
| Electricity is a material household expense in Wyoming. | The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes Wyoming electricity prices and state-level energy data. These series are useful context, not a substitute for a customer's actual utility bill. EIA Wyoming Electricity Profile |
| Federal borrowing creates obligations that matter to future taxpayers. | Treasury's Fiscal Data service publishes the federal debt outstanding and related federal financial data. The campaign's position is that federal budgeting should account plainly for those obligations. Treasury: Debt to the Penny |
Responsible use
Price changes differ by category, time period, and household. The page's central standard is a policy judgment: economic success should be judged by whether working families can meet their obligations and prepare for the future.
