The Political Outsider

James St. Paul, raised in Wyoming and educated at Harvard, is a highly successful rancher, businessman, and entrepreneur. He has helped develop a new strain of cattle and built a small natural gas distribution company into a national corporation with multiple energy sources. He has even served as a lobbyist and started a family. But something is missing.

Late in the year 2021, James makes the decision to run as an independent for Wyoming's soon-to-be- open US Senate seat. He finds himself running against a well-known conservative state senator and an equally well-known liberal state representative. As he challenges the political status quo in an increasingly polarized environment, only time will tell whether his ethics and conscience can break through the rhetoric of the day and get him into office-where he can begin to help bring about true change.

In this political novel, a man with a unique background and unusual politics runs for a seat in the US Senate and finds himself taking on the political establishment from the outside.
