There's a separate Libertarian party for a reason. Most "conservative, free market politicians" aren't in Wyoming, so it's an error to hear one talk and assume that Wyoming politicians agree. HN probably gets most of its news either from California or New York(most of the MSM are based there). So you're more likely to hear issues framed from the perspective of California and New York, which both have rent control and such. It would be an error to assume that Oregon or Vermont have the same values, even if some map somewhere shows them colored the same. Other states wouldn't just disagree; they'd frame the issue differently. Every state is different. As an example, Kentucky seems to churn out free-market types like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie pretty consistently. I imagine Utah would focus on the finance industry, and using the government to enforce Mormon values. Apparently Wyoming values their coal and gas industries.
