Rebecca and the Constitution Party 5/13

Cowboy State Politics · May 13, 2026 · 26m

Rebecca Bextel announced Wednesday that she is seeking a nomination for Governor from the Constitution Party. It sets up an interesting electoral scenario. Historically, Wyoming has elected very liberal people to the Governor's mansion. For 36 years, basically, the Democrats controlled the governor's office. Since 2011 the Democrat party has struggled to gain voters and now is on the verge of not even being a major political party.

With the nomination, Bextel would appear on the General Election ballot bypassing the primary contest. I interviewed Rebecca this morning to make her announcement.
