A Short Overview
Wyoming is the most reliably Republican state in the country, with the GOP dominating every statewide office and holding overwhelming legislative supermajorities. Democrats have very little presence outside a few local areas like parts of Jackson, which is culturally and politically distinct from the rest of the state. Wyoming’s political culture is deeply rooted in libertarian-leaning conservatism, with strong support for gun rights, limited government, and energy development. The economy and politics revolve heavily around coal, oil, natural gas, and public lands policy. Elections are typically decided in Republican primaries, where ideological divisions between more traditional conservatives and harder-right candidates sometimes emerge.
