Philadelphia, PA, August 17, 2026 —
Wyoming voters are participating in a state primary election marked by a notable number of open-seat contests for key positions. The races for governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives are all without incumbents seeking re-election.
These vacancies stem from the retirements of prominent Republican officials. Governor Mark Gordon and U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, both Republicans, have announced their decisions not to seek re-election, creating significant openings in the state’s political landscape. The impending outcomes of these primary elections are expected to shape the contests for the general election in Wyoming, a state that consistently votes Republican.
