Wyoming Primary Election Sees Lower Early Voter Turnout Compared to 2022, Clerks Report

Wyoming Primary Election Sees Lower Early Voter Turnout Compared to 2022, Clerks Report

Early voting in Wyoming's primary election is trailing the historic turnout seen in 2022, despite several high-profile open races for governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House. County clerks across the state, including Debra Lee of Laramie County, have noted a decrease in early ballots cast compared to two years ago. Officials attribute the lower turnout partly to the absence of a highly contentious race like the 2022 contest between Liz Cheney and Harriet Hageman, which garnered national attention and significantly boosted participation. Additionally, a 2023 election law change shortened the early and absentee voting period from 45 days to 28 days, which some clerks believe has contributed to the reduced numbers. Voters have also expressed frustration with new election laws, such as the requirement to change party affiliation before candidates file for office and a 30-day residency rule, which have caught some residents by surprise. While some counties, like Teton, have seen an uptick in in-person early votin...

David Giralt Campaigns for Wyoming's U.S. Representative Seat, Emphasizing Federal Experience and 'Wyoming First' Agenda

David Giralt is actively campaigning to become Wyoming's next U.S. Representative, a seat currently held by Rep. Harriet Hageman. Giralt is distinguishing himself in a crowded Republican primary field by highlighting his extensive experience working in Washington D.C. for top Republican members of Congress, including a stint as a Department of Defense Fellow for Rep. Mike Rogers and civilian work for Senator Cynthia Lummis. He emphasizes his military service, including 12 years in the Army with combat deployments and a Bronze Star, as foundational to his approach to public service. Giralt is positioning himself as a 'Wyoming First' candidate, prioritizing the state's interests over party loyalty or national agendas when conflicts arise. He is also leveraging endorsements from several Republican members of Congress and musician Ted Nugent to bolster his campaign, arguing that these endorsements validate his practical experience and commitment to Wyoming's needs.

Wyoming Hiker Survives Black Bear Attack on Teton Pass by Using Bear Spray

Wyoming Hiker Survives Black Bear Attack on Teton Pass by Using Bear Spray

Maggie Schwartz, a resident of Jackson, Wyoming, was attacked by a black bear while hiking on Teton Pass on August 10. The incident occurred on a trail she frequently uses. During her hike, a black bear knocked her face-down into the brush and proceeded to bite her. Schwartz managed to spray the bear directly in its face with bear spray, causing the animal to flee. She sustained three puncture wounds and scratches, which were treated at an emergency room in Jackson. Investigators from Wyoming Game and Fish characterized the attack as a surprise, defensive encounter involving a presumed black bear sow with at least one cub in an area with dense vegetation and low visibility. No further management action is planned as no bears were found when investigators returned. Schwartz's phone, which was in her back pocket, was found with a tooth mark, explaining why there were only three puncture wounds instead of the expected four.

Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman Criticizes California's Role in Colorado River Water Crisis

Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman Criticizes California's Role in Colorado River Water Crisis

Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman has publicly criticized California, asserting that the state's mismanagement of water resources has exacerbated the ongoing Colorado River water crisis. According to Hageman, California has prioritized spending on projects like high-speed rail over essential water infrastructure upgrades, contributing to the record-low levels observed in Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Hageman, who previously worked as a water and natural resources attorney, highlighted that California's water infrastructure largely dates back to the 1960s, despite a significant population increase since then. She argues that California should be held accountable for its failure to adequately address its water needs, suggesting that the state should aggressively pursue desalination of Pacific Ocean water as a solution. Hageman also noted that Wyoming has never utilized its full allocation of the Upper Basin's water, and therefore, its supply should not be depleted to compensate for other states'...

Cheyenne Mayor Rebuts Secretary Gray's Censure Amidst Annexation Challenge Legal Dispute

Cheyenne Mayor Rebuts Secretary Gray's Censure Amidst Annexation Challenge Legal Dispute

Cheyenne Mayor Patrick Collins has responded to a censure from Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray concerning the city's request for judicial clarification on an annexation challenge. The Cheyenne City Council is seeking a declaratory judgment from the Laramie County District Court to determine the correct statutory process for challenging a recent annexation. The city annexed 3,460 acres of land on July 13, which had been sold by companies linked to U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis’s family to Microsoft for a large data center project. Residents opposed to the rapid data center development initiated a referendum process under Wyoming Title 22. Secretary Gray cautioned Mayor Collins against 'undermining a clear statutory process,' asserting that Title 22 is explicit and not preempted by Title 15, which outlines a different appeal process for annexations. Mayor Collins maintains that the city's objective is to gain clarity for future growth and dispute resolution, not to obstruct legal processes.
