Reg is also currently serving as a board member of the Wyoming Stock Grower Land Trust.
Mr. Phillips has been asked over his time in Dubois to serve in a variety of capacities representing the interests of Fremont County and the state of Wyoming.

“I believe with my background in agriculture, dealing with the challenges of Public Land Management, and resolving them through a collaborative approach that I can assist folks in my district and State. Also, my experience of living and working through issues of a small rural community will also be an asset to my district, my county, and my state.”
House District 34 covers much of rural Fremont County including Dubois, Crowheart, Pavillion, the Lyon’s Valley area of Lander, the Sweetwater country, and Jeffrey City.
