Wyoming<\/a> Republicans chose former state House Speaker and current state Sen. Eric Barlow on Tuesday as their nominee for governor in the race to succeed outgoing Gov. Mark Gordon.<\/p>\n

The selection tees up the likely next person to move into the governor’s mansion in January, considering the deep-red roots that run in Wyoming’s statewide officials.<\/p>\n

Gordon considered seeking a third term and challenging Wyoming\u2019s two-term-limit law, before ultimately deciding against another bid. This left Republicans with an open contest to replace him in November’s midterms. Trump-endorsed State Superintendent Megan Degenfelder came in second behind Barlow Tuesday, while Marine Corps colonel and 2022 gubernatorial candidate Brent Bien finished third.<\/p>\n

Barlow emerged from a four-way primary<\/a> that featured Degenfelder, Bien and professional bull rider Curt Blake who had less than 1,000 votes with 26% of the total counted.<\/p>\n

He will face Democrat Kenneth Casner in the Nov. 3 general election.<\/p>\n

Degenfelder and Barlow entered the final stretch of the campaign on roughly similar financial footing, reporting about $1.3 million and $1.2 million raised, respectively, according to campaign finance figures cited by The Associated Press. Bien reported raising about $192,000, while Blake reported no money raised.<\/p>\n

Republicans enter the general election with a substantial political advantage in Wyoming. Every statewide elected office is currently held by a Republican.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s race is one of several open-seat contests at the top of Wyoming\u2019s ballot this year.<\/p>\n

The state also has open races for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, secretary of state and superintendent of public instruction, creating an unusually large turnover in Wyoming\u2019s political leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
