Early life and education edit

Michael Bradley Enzi was born on February 1, 1944, in Bremerton, Washington, to Elmer J. Enzi and Dorothy Bradley. He was raised in Thermopolis, Wyoming, and graduated from Sheridan High School in 1962. He graduated from George Washington University with a degree in accounting in 1966 and from the University of Denver with a Master of Business Administration in retail marketing in 1968. He served in the Wyoming Army National Guard from 1967 to 1973. On June 7, 1969, he married Diana Buckley, with whom he had three children, and moved to Gillette, Wyoming.[2][3][4][5]

Enzi was criticized by multiple people, including Wyoming Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander Bill Saunders, for attempting to equate his service in the Wyoming Army National Guard with that of those who served in the Vietnam War although Enzi stated that his comments were misinterpreted.[6]

Enzi was elected to serve as a city councilor in the American Legion Boys State in 1961.[7] He was selected serve as a junior councilor in the Wyoming DeMolay International organization in 1963.[8] In 1970, Enzi was appointed to serve as vice-chair of the nine-member Public Health Nursing Advisory Committee in Gillette.[9] He was elected to serve as president of the Wyoming United States Junior Chamber in 1973.[10] He served as chair of the First Wyoming Bank-Gillette.[11]

Career edit

Local politics edit

Enzi defeated Mayor Cliff Davis in Gillette's 1974 mayoral election after having been convinced to run by Alan Simpson and won reelection without opposition in 1978.[3][12][13][1][14] He announced on July 7, 1982, that he would not run for reelection.[15]

He filled two vacant city council seats in one month in 1976, following the resignation of Ed Geringer and Jack Babcock with Jack Edmunds replacing Geringer and Robert White replacing Babcock.[16] Gillette's Planning and Zoning Commission was created during Enzi's tenure, and he appointed six of the seven positions on the board upon its creation.[17] A water pipeline was built during Enzi's tenure as mayor and prior to its construction water was rationed in Gillette.[18] During the 1978 United States House of Representatives elections he supported Treasurer Ed Witzenburger for the Republican nomination.[19]

He was appointed to serve on the National League of Cities' community development committee.[20] Enzi served as vice-president and president of the Wyoming Association of Municipalities.[21] Enzi's term as president of the Wyoming Association of Municipalities was meant to end in June 1983, but he left office in January so John Nickle was appointed to serve the remainder of his term.[22]

Wyoming Legislature edit

Enzi ran for one of three seats in the Wyoming House of Representatives from Campbell County in the 1986 election as a Republican and was elected alongside incumbent Republican representatives Dick Wallis and John Hines.[23][24][25] All three representatives won reelection in the 1988 election against Democratic nominee Rebecca Claar.[26] All three representatives were reelected in the 1990 election against Democratic nominees Claar, Dave Stueck, and Chuck Tolar.[27][28]

Enzi was speculated as a possible candidate to replace John Ostlund in the Wyoming Senate in the 1978 election as Ostlund was running in the gubernatorial election, but he instead announced that he would run for reelection as mayor on July 17.[29][30] Senator Kelly Mader resigned on December 9, 1991, due to him having moved his family to Denver, Colorado, and starting a business there and Enzi was selected to replace Mader on December 13, while David Shippy was selected to replace Enzi in the state house.[31][32][33] He faced no opposition in the Republican primary or general election in 1992.[34][35]

During his tenure in the state house he served on the Education, Corporations and Elections, and Mines and Minerals committees.[36][37] He served on the Joint Appropriations committee and served as the chair of the Revenue committee in the state senate.[38][39] He lost his position as chair of the Revenue committee and was replaced by Grant Larson in 1996, as senate rules prohibited statewide candidates from serving as chairs of committee.[40]

Enzi garnered support due to his pro-life stance, while Barrasso, who had been expected to win the primary, identified as pro-choice at the time.[45][46] Enzi defeated Democratic nominee Kathy Karpan in the general election.[47]

Enzi announced on March 22, 2002, that he would run for reelection in the 2002 election. Dick Bratton served as his campaign chair.[48][49] Enzi defeated Crosby Allen, a county commissioner from Fremont County, in the Republican primary and Democratic nominee Joyce Corcoran, the mayor of Lander, Wyoming, in the general election.[50][51][52][53] During the 2002 election Enzi raised $1,443,925.00 and spent $1,130,628.00 compared to Corcoran who had raised $8,488.00 and spent $8,467.00.[54][55] He defeated Democratic nominee Chris Rothfuss in the 2008 election.[56][57]

Scott Ratliff, a former member of the Wyoming House of Representatives, served on Enzi's staff for issues about the Wind River Indian Reservation.[71]

In 1997, Enzi asked to be allowed to bring his laptop onto the Senate floor as it was easier than carrying multiple briefcases, but the Senate rules prohibited all mechanical devices that could distract senators unless the Sergeant at Arms ruled that those devices were necessary and proper for the conduction of official business. Sergeant at Arms Gregory S. Casey conducted a three-month study and said that the rules of the Senate allowed members to use laptops on the floor, but not if they were connected to an outside network. Senator John Warner, the chair of the Rules Committee, sent the report to all 100 senators for consideration in September. Robert Torricelli opposed allowing laptops onto the floor stating that it would lead to staff instructing senators how to vote and Robert Byrd also opposed it stating that the sound of typing would be irritating. Senators Wendell Ford, Dianne Feinstein, and Kay Bailey Hutchison also opposed allowing laptops onto the floor.[72][73][74] On November 5, the Rules Committee voted against allowing Enzi to bring his laptop onto the floor with Rick Santorum being the only member voting to allow laptops onto the floor.[75][76] All personal electronic devices are still prohibited from the floor.[77]

During the 2000 presidential election he praised George W. Bush's selection of Dick Cheney as his vice-presidential running mate stating that Cheney was "an outstanding selection" and that he was "excited not just for Wyoming, but for the whole country".[78] Following Trent Lott's resignation Enzi lobbied for Bill Frist to become the Majority Leader of the Senate.[79][80]

Enzi was given repeated "A" ratings by the NRA Political Victory Fund.[96][97] Enzi introduced legislation in 2001, which would have required law enforcement to destroy the records created by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of people who passed a background check for a gun purchase.[98]

Enzi supported the creation of an amendment prohibiting the desecration of the flag of the United States.[99] In 2000, the Senate voted sixty-three to thirty-seven, with Enzi in favor, in favor of an amendment prohibiting flag desecration, but it failed to receive a two-thirds majority.[100] In 2006, the Senate voted sixty-six to thirty-four, with Enzi in favor, in favor of an amendment prohibiting flag desecration, but it failed to receive a two-thirds majority.[101]

The Arapaho and Shoshone tribes criticized Enzi for introducing the legislation without consulting them.[110] He later asked for Bruce Babbitt to overstep his authority as Secretary of the Interior for tribal gambling issues.[111] Ron Allen, the president of the National Congress of American Indians and chair of the Klallam tribe, criticized Enzi for attempting to limit the power of Native Americans to negotiate gambling contracts with the federal government.[112]

Enzi supported legislation in the state senate to declare all same-sex marriages, including those conducted outside of the state, void in Wyoming.[125][126] He supported the Boy Scouts exclusion of gay scouts and leaders and supported legislation to end federal aid to schools which prohibited the Boy Scouts due to their refusal to admit gay members.[127] Enzi supported Santorum's comments on Lawrence v.
