The Wyoming Legislature’s ratio of 90% Republicans to 10% Democrats represents the widest gap in the nation, and Tuesday’s General Election could see the GOP further solidify its super-majority.
But that doesn’t mean Cowboy State Democrats have no chance to retain the nine seats they now have total in the state Senate and House, or even pick up one or two more.
When the polls close on Tuesday, it’s the state legislative races where things will likely be more interesting, where there’s potential for Republicans and Democrats to gain or lose seats.
There are at least 10, and possibly up to 16, races in the Legislature that have a chance of being competitive.
“Wyoming continues to be a conservative state, a Republican state, and I think that will show up on Tuesday,” said Matt Micheli, chairman of the Wyoming Hope political action committee and former chairman of the Wyoming Republican Party.
Campaign finance reports filed this week show Democrats outraised their opponents in six state House races and won the funding battle in six of 12 contested state Senate races. Republicans still dominated spending in both houses.
Although there are a record number of third-party candidates running in this year’s election, none raised or spent significant sums.
Both of the Democrats in the Senate are up for reelection, and there are four Democratic incumbents in the House who face challengers.
“I’d be less than honest if I didn’t say right now, given where Wyoming is politically right now, the goal is to hold onto seats for the time being,” said state Sen. Mike Gierau, D-Jackson, who is facing Republican Steve Duerr and Libertarian Amanda Padilla in his bid for a second term. “I don’t think we’re going to flip the House or have huge gains.”

In states where Republicans dominate, Democrats run as Republicans and lie about their positions during the election campaign.
