Wyoming House, Senate, Governor – Who’s Announced So Far

It's only the beginning of 202,6 and here come a few candidates for Wyoming's most important elected seats.

By the end of this year, the Cowboy State will choose a new governor, someone for the U.S. House of Representatives, and a new Senator.

There are many other seats to fill, but let's focus on who is running for those three so far.

Each name comes with a link to the candidate's website so you can explore and learn more about them.

For Governor:
Eric Barlow (R)
Brent Bien (R)
Joseph Kibler (R)
Megan Degenfelder (R)
Ozzie Knezovich (R)

Senate:
Harriet Hageman (R)
Jimmy Skovgard (R)

House:
Chuck Gray (R)
Reid Rasner (R)
Jillian Balow (R)
Daniel Workman (Independent)

That's it so far, but expect more to enter the race in the coming months. This will end up being a crowded field.

You might have noticed that there are no Democrats, Libertarians, or Constitution Party candidates. Not yet anyway. But they will show up, and we get closer and maybe even into the spring.

As more candidates enter and we interview them, we will provide more information on who they are, their background and resume, and what they plan to do if they are elected.

After the primary, it is a mad dash to the general election. But everyone in Wyoming knows that most of these races are settled at the primary, with so few candidates running in such a low-population state.
