Two of Wyoming’s congressional seats are up for grabs this year, with incumbents Senator John Barrasso and Rep. Harriet Hageman seeking re-election amidst a pool of challengers from both parties. Despite lacking the international attention of previous races, both candidates have garnered support from former President Donald Trump. Barrasso has raised $7.3 million in campaign funds, while Hageman has about $532,000.
In the U.S. Senate race, Republican Reid Rasner, a former business owner and financial advisor, is campaigning on priorities like Wyoming’s energy industry and term limits. His campaign has already garnered significant support and funding from his own pocket. Republican John Holtz, a retired Air Force veteran and attorney, is also aiming to unseat Barrasso with a focus on Wyoming’s energy industry and foreign conflicts. On the Democratic side, Scott Morrow, a retired postal worker and union leader, is running with a focus on addressing poverty and firearm suicides.
For Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat, Democrat Kyle “El” Cameron, inspired by Hageman’s voting record against workers, is aiming to support legislation that strengthens unions and protects workers. Cameron, hailing from a family of political organizers, believes in the power of civic engagement and participation. The race for this seat promises to be competitive and impactful for Wyoming’s workers and unions. As the primaries approach, these candidates will continue to campaign and engage with voters to outline their priorities and goals for representing the people of Wyoming in Congress.
