America’s reddest state crowns GOP governor nominee

Wyoming Republicans selected former state House Speaker and current state Sen. Eric Barlow as their nominee for governor to replace outgoing Gov. Mark Gordon. Barlow emerged from a four-way primary, securing the nomination despite facing Democratic challenger Kenneth Casner in the general election. The winner will face competition in several open statewide offices, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and secretary of state.
