Rep. Mike Yin says Wyoming’s polarization reflects the nation’s

Representative Yin was elected in 2018. He represents most of the town of Jackson. This year he was just one of six Democrats in the State House. He serves on two committees - Labor, Health and Social Services as well as Corporations Elections and Political Subdivisions, where he is the lone Democrat on both. The legislative session wrapped on March 7. He speaks with Frederick Reimers about its rightward shift.“We've seen a growing group on the right say that working together is actually a bad thing, working with Democrats is a bad thing,” he said. “Politics becomes the overtaking concern rather than actually dealing and solving problems with the state.”
