Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) actively participated in a House Select Subcommittee meeting on January 14, 2026, focused on investigating the DNC and RNC pipe bombs. Notably, voters in Wyoming are preparing to cast their votes to select candidates for the state’s single U.S. House seat in the upcoming primary elections.
Rep. Hageman is looking to move to the Senate, leaving her current House seat open. This has attracted many Republican contenders in this traditionally Republican state. Key figures vying for the position include former Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Barlow, Secretary of State Chuck Gray, state Senate President Bo Biteman, veterans Kevin Christensen and Richard Dodson, activist Steve Friess, adviser for outgoing Sen. Cynthia Lummis, David Giralt, businessman Reid Rasner, and former state Rep. John Romero-Martinez.
Chuck Gray previously supported the unfounded claim of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. He made headlines in 2021 by traveling to Arizona to observe a politically motivated election audit. Despite winning the Wyoming Republican primary for Secretary of State in 2022 with support from President Trump, the president has not endorsed any candidate in the current race.
In the Democratic primary, former state Senate Minority Leader Lisa F. Kinney faces opposition from Elena del Real. Voter polls will remain open until 9 p.m. EDT, allowing for voter participation across the state.
