Summary
Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray won the Republican nomination for the state’s at-large U.S. House seat, emerging from a crowded primary to become the overwhelming favorite in November.
The opening was created when Rep. Harriet Hageman gave up Wyoming’s lone House seat to run for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis.
Gray, a Trump-aligned conservative who has served as secretary of state since 2023, defeated a field that included businessman Steve Friess and Reid Rasner in the state’s most expensive primary race.
No Trump or Hageman endorsement came in the House contest, unlike other top Wyoming primaries, forcing candidates to compete for the same conservative base.
Trump carried Wyoming by nearly 46 points in 2024, and with Republicans holding every statewide office, the GOP nominee is heavily favored to keep the seat.
