Wyoming primary results: Eric Barlow and Harriet Hageman win GOP nominations
In the Wyoming primary elections held on August 18, 2026, several key races were decided. State Senator Eric Barlow secured the Republican nomination for governor, earning approximately 44.4% of the vote. Barlow will advance to the November 3 general election to compete against Democrat Kenneth Casner and Constitution Party nominee Rebecca Bextel to succeed the term-limited Governor Mark Gordon.
In the race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, Representative Harriet Hageman won the Republican nomination. Hageman, who has the endorsement of Donald Trump, will face Democrat James Byrd in the general election. Byrd secured the Democratic nomination after defeating Billy Benavidez in the primary.
The results for these major offices were called by the Associated Press on Tuesday evening as unofficial totals were reported.
