Wyoming Republican Primary Voters Nominate Harriet Hageman and John Barrasso in Cheyenne

CHEYENNE, WY — Incumbent U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman and veteran U.S. Senator John Barrasso won overwhelming victories in Wyoming’s Republican federal primary elections on Tuesday night, securing party nominations for the November general election.

Unofficial Primary Tallies and Federal Policy Platforms

Unofficial election returns compiled by the Wyoming Secretary of State showed Representative Hageman securing 79.4 percent of the vote in the race for Wyoming's at-large congressional seat, while Senator Barrasso captured 83.2 percent in his bid for another six-year Senate term. Both incumbents swept all 23 Wyoming counties.

Hageman and Barrasso campaigned jointly on conservative legislative agendas focused on expanding federal mineral leases for Powder River Basin coal and uranium, pushing back against federal Bureau of Land Management resource management plans, and protecting western state water compact rights.

General Election Trajectory in the Equality State

In heavily Republican Wyoming, the primary outcome effectively solidifies Hageman and Barrasso as overwhelming favorites heading into the November general election against Democratic and third-party challengers.

Addressing party supporters in Cheyenne, Barrasso emphasized that the upcoming federal elections will be vital to securing a durable conservative majority in the U.S. Senate to confirm federal judges, restrain regulatory expansion, and support domestic energy production.

County Canvassing and General Election Certification

County canvassing boards across Wyoming will convene this week to certify official county vote totals before the State Canvassing Board meets on August 26.
