In the race for Wyoming’s lone representative in the U.S. House, Harriet Hageman was a runaway winner as she carried the elections with over 81-percent of the vote in Lincoln County as the Republican nominee. Democratic nominee, Lynnette Greybull picked up just over 13-percent of the vote with Libertarian Richard Brubaker and Conservative party rep, Marissa Joy Selvig both garnering less than three-percent of the total.
Governor Mark Gordon easily earned re-election with nearly 81-percent of the vote in Lincoln County as the incumbent Republican. This will be his second term. Democratic nominee Theresa A. Livingston received just over nine-percent of the vote with Libertarian Jared J. Baldes finishing with a little more than three-percent. A significant number of write-in votes with more than 6.5-percent received but not enough to challenge Gordon.
