Local Politics

Our Wyoming primary election happens on August 16, roughly 2 months from now. Various candidate signs are posted here and there. 

As has been widely reported, Wyoming Republicans are disenchanted with our Rep. Liz Cheney. In the GOP primary she is being challenged by Harriet Hageman, who has received Donald Trump's endorsement. 

In our county in western WY I have seen plenty of Hageman yard signs, zero Cheney signs. We're a conservative county, one of 22 such. 

WY has only one county (Teton) with a narrow Democrat majority in registrations. Its Jackson Hole is another Aspen or Vail, home to big ski resorts and many of the super-wealthy who have a WY residence to avoid state income taxes. Next time I'm in Jackson I'll look for Cheney signs, though I saw none while there last Sunday.
