Meet the Albany County Democrats Executive Committee

I have the honor to be the Chair of what I consider to be one of the best Executive Committee's in Wyoming. I look forward to what we will accomplish as a county party.

 I would like to invite you to our regular Monthly meetings every second Monday of the month. Please check our events page for further info and details.

Klaus is also the Vice Chair of the WDP Minority & Allies Caucus.

One of my earliest memories is of my parents attending Laramie County and Wyoming Democrat meetings and caucuses. 

They were lifelong examples of active political engagement, and their dedication shaped my own path. 

Over the years, I’ve carried that spirit forward—first as a volunteer 4-H club leader for the Mighty Eagles, and then more formally within the Wyoming Democratic Party. About ten years ago, I began volunteering to hold voter registration drives at the library and the community college. I jumped in wherever I could: staffing booths, supporting events, and saying yes to every opportunity to help.

I’ve campaigned for the Conservation District, and campaigned for the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Today, I bring that same enthusiasm, along with a deep understanding of Wyoming politics, to my role with the Albany County Democrats, where I proudly serve as a Precinct Committeewoman for 45-1.

I’m excited to get to know all of you better, to deepen our connection to the community and getting Democrats elected. 

I joined the resistance.

When the research lab closed in 2005,  she realized her database skills could be applied to her many causes. In  2006, she dove head first into political organizing for the Albany  County Democratic Party and volunteered for Get-Out-The-Vote and for  numerous candidates.
