Chuck Gray wins GOP nomination for Wyoming's at-large U.S. House seat

Chuck Gray, the Republican Secretary of State of Wyoming, has secured the GOP nomination for the state's at-large U.S. House seat, which was previously held by Rep. Harriet Hageman, who is now running for Senate. Gray, who has been in office since 2023, won against competitors including businessman Steve Friess and Reid Rasner. This primary was prompted by Hageman's decision to vacate her House seat to pursue a Senate position, leading to a notable number of open races in Wyoming, including the governorship and Senate seat, for the first time in over thirty years. The Republican primary was highly competitive and became the most expensive race on Wyoming's primary ballot. The absence of endorsements from Trump or Hageman allowed candidates to vie for the same conservative voter base. The eventual Republican nominee is expected to have a strong advantage in the general election, as Wyoming is known for its Republican majority, with Trump winning the state by nearly 46 percentage points in 2024.
