Tyler Lindholm (born May 18, 1983) is an American politician and former state legislator for Wyoming. A member of the Republican Party, Lindholm represented the 1st district in the Wyoming House of Representatives from 2015 to 2020.[1][2]
Lindholm helped craft legislation in Wyoming designed to attract cryptocurrency start-ups and diversify the economy.[3] A company he helped start was BeefChain, a tracking system for cattle and beef which used the Cardano blockchain.[4][5] Members included Rob Jennings, the former WPVI-TV anchor and a co-founder of the Wyoming Blockchain Coalition (which has since been disbanded[6]); Avanti Financial Group founder Caitlin Long; and Wyoming state senator Ogden Driskill.[7][8]
Following his 2021 election defeat, Lindholm became state policy director for Senator Cynthia Lummis.[9] In 2023, he left Lummis’ office to open a Wyoming chapter of Americans for Prosperity, a libertarian conservative political advocacy group.[10]
