As a building block to a strong, diverse economy, I will be an advocate for education as a fundamental right of every resident”.
Federated Fire Fighters of Wyoming
I have been endorsed by the FFFW for my willingness to listen to issues that impact our brave men and women who run towards danger, not from it, too keep us safe.

Testimonials
“I am excited for vocalize my support for Trey Sherwood, if only to give back a small fraction of the support that she has given to me, my business, and downtown Laramie for years. I am constantly impressed with Trey’s die hard belief in service and positive attitude. Her work with the Downtown Laramie is important by bringing opportunities to businesses, brainstorming creative development projects with limited resources, while keeping art and history prominent in all discussions. I have always felt that Trey ‘has my back’ and now a broader community will get to feel that generous spirit that she brings to all of her work.”

“I can think of no better suited individual to represent the Laramie community than the incomparable Trey Sherwood. Her drive, commitment, and love of Wyoming is present in everything she does, creating a vibrant, inclusive, economically thriving place to call home. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Trey through her leadership positions at the Laramie Main Street Alliance and the Laramie Art Coalition. The experiences gained from these partnerships highlighted Trey’s inspiring empathy and unwavering dedication to the future of Laramie. She fosters a deep love for this state and its people. I fully trust that Trey Sherwood not only has the business skills to create a more resilient Wyoming, but also the creative vision to diversify our economy and the crucial personal skills necessary to listen to and serve the people.”
“Trey Sherwood has mentored me for over 10 years and has taught me so much about leading community change, the power of public engagement, and the importance of a well-rounded approach to economic diversification. Her positive outlook for community development is grounded by proven strategies and she is focused on building solid foundations that support both rapid responses and long-term growth. I am confident in her ability to use these skills to build partnerships in the Wyoming Legislature and to make decisions that best serve the citizens of Albany County and Wyoming.”
“It was 2014 and I was new in town, eager to connect with other business owners and show Laramie what my photography company had to offer. While at a downtown event, somebody asked: ‘Have you met Mama Trey yet?’ I hadn’t but I did that day, and since then I have been blown away by her generosity, guidance, and support. Trey is indeed the selfless mother of many Laramie businesses and a cheerleader for business owners’ efforts, downtown and beyond. She is passionate about everything she does, and puts her soul in every project, job, and friendship she engages in. Trey truly cares about her town and her state, and I can’t think of a better person to represent her district in the Wyoming House of Representatives.”
“When I chose to plant my roots in Laramie I was a newly-wed, newly-graduated, new small business owner, with an inordinate amount of knowledge gaps on how I should fit into my community. For a decade, Trey has nurtured my relationship with my home state of Wyoming, empowered me as a woman in business, pushed me to use my unique voice in my town, and led me to the information and tools I need to weave myself into the fabric of Laramie. She leads by example–compassionately and feverishly–with mission-driven efforts rooted in cultivating a diverse, eclectic, supportive, safe, and thriving home for all of our state’s residents. She works thoughtfully, strategically leveraging local innovators and celebrating our regional thought-leaders, while also knowing when it’s time to roll up her own sleeves and put her boots on the ground. As a Wyoming-born millennial, my relationship with the state that I so love has been often strained, uncomfortable, and unsupportive of my vision for myself, my peers, and my place. Without question, Trey’s leadership is what kept me here, kept me focused, kept me hopeful. There is no one I trust more to work for the continued growth and resilience of the place I work, live, and play–today in the face of economic and social justice devastations, and tomorrow, as we build a mightier Wyoming.

“As a transplant from across the WyoBraska border, I didn’t find my stride in Wyoming until I began giving my time back to my community in Laramie. Volunteering and working at local businesses, I found a home hearing people’s stories and how they came together. Trey was one of the people that showed me how much of a difference we can make in the world if we give everyone the time of day. In my time serving at the Laramie Main Street Alliance, I saw how Trey brought people together towards an already bright future. Her endless creativity and relentless energy got us through some long days and hard fights, and I know she has the scorecard and the wherewithal to lead Wyoming at the state level. ”
“Trey Sherwood’s effervescence has long been one of her hallmarks as she inspires Wyoming Main Street projects and vision within our Laramie community. Her education and work with curating history makes her appreciate what gone before to create a community and craft the smartest vision for the future. Trey has a knack for being the best of wise cheerleaders and certainly was that for us in her positions Laramie Main Street director and as one of our Board Directors for this stunning historic house museum. Her energy and vision helped as we dreamed of new possibilities and outreach for this important nonprofit association. Her enthusiasm has helped the museum and so many other entities in Wyoming hang in through the tough times and look at the ways we can herald our communities and showcase even more of the reasons we love our Wyoming town and choose to live in this vital Western state.”
