The Neiman family has been involved in logging and timber production in northeast Wyoming and the Black Hills since 1936.[1][2]
On August 18, 2020, Neiman defeated incumbent state representative, Tyler Lindholm, in the Republican primary for the Wyoming House of Representatives seat representing the 1st district.[3] Neiman won by fewer than 200 votes.[3] On November 3, 2020, Neiman was elected to this position, unopposed.
