Troy R. Mader (born 1955 or 1956) is an American rancher and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he serves in the Wyoming House of Representatives, representing the 52nd district. He succeeded Sue Wallis in February 2014 following her death.

Career

Mader operates a ranch.[1] He worked for the Abundant Wildlife Society of North America as a research director. In that role, he fought to prevent the restoration of the local wolf population by the federal government.[2]

Under the name "T. R. Mader", he self-published a book on HIV/AIDS, titled "The Death Sentence of AIDS", in 1987 in which he suggested the "quarantine" of infected people who continue to have sex.[3] Receiving criticism of standing by the book, Mader stated in 2014 "I believe tolerance is characteristic of a person who hasn’t any virtue left."[4] He also states that "many gay people demand the right to have sex with children."[5]

Mader also served as a precinct captain for the Campbell County Republican Party.[2] Following the January 2014 death of Sue Wallis, who served the northern half of Campbell County in the Wyoming House of Representatives, Mader put his name forward as a potential replacement. The Campbell County Republican Party included Mader on their list of three finalists, which they forwarded to the Campbell County Commission, who voted to appoint Mader to serve the remainder of her term in February.[2][6] He was sworn in to the state House on February 11, 2014.[1][3] He serves on the House Revenue Committee and the House Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee.[6]

Personal

Mader is from Gillette, Wyoming.[7] He and his wife have eight children.[1] His brother, Kelly Mader, is a former member of the Wyoming State Senate.[2]

Mader plays guitar and writes country music under the name "T. R. Mader".[1]
