Voters to Decide Who Will Fill Swalwell's Seat in Congress
The winner will finish Eric Swalwell’s term and return to the ballot in November, with Democrats holding a 50.4% registration edge.
- Wyoming voters cast ballots in primary elections Tuesday for open statewide seats, including the governor's office and the U.S. Senate seat vacated by U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis.
- Governor Mark Gordon and Lummis both announced retirements, marking the first simultaneous vacancy in the governorship, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House seats in 32 years.
- State Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder and state Sen. Eric Barlow lead the GOP gubernatorial primary with about $1.3 million and $1.2 million raised, while U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman pursues the vacant Senate seat.
- A 2023 law prohibits voters from changing party affiliation at the polls on Election Day, while automatic recounts trigger if vote margins fall below 1% of the winning candidate's total.
- Tuesday's primary results will determine the final general election matchups, with 77 days remaining until the 2026 midterm elections decide control of Congress.
