About this race
The current officeholder is retiring, so the seat will have a new winner. It’s considered a safe Republican seat. Harriet Hageman, a Republican, shows a record of donations linked to AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, but the exact amount is still being confirmed.
Key issues in Wyoming
Major issues facing Wyoming, based on 2025–2026 reporting. Compare them with what each candidate says they focus on below.
- Property tax ballot initiative — Voters decide on exempting half of a primary home's assessed value, with projected revenue losses near $100 million.
- K-12 underfunding court ruling — The state Supreme Court found lawmakers failed to fund teacher salaries and inflation adjustments adequately.
- Tax shift to sales tax — Property tax cuts could push costs onto sales taxes, since Wyoming has no income tax to absorb them.
- Schools' revenue exposure — Schools could lose roughly $81 million if the initiative passes, with most property-tax revenue funding education.

Who are the biggest donors?
Every donor ranked by how much they gave, from the candidate’s own FEC filings — individuals, PACs, and party committees all in one list. Expand a candidate to see theirs, then tap any name to learn more about the donor.
Why are so many gifts exactly $10,000? That’s the legal maximum a PAC can give one candidate for the whole cycle — $5,000 for the primary plus $5,000 for the general — so many PACs give the max. Individuals can give up to $3,500 per election.

These figures come from the candidate’s own itemized FEC reports (2026 cycle, through the coverage date above), with amendments applied and refunds netted. Joint fundraising transfers are left out of the ranking: they’re pass-throughs, and the individual donations behind them are listed above. Bank interest, vendor refunds, and other non-donation receipts are excluded. Donor names are as reported — the same person can appear twice if their name was recorded differently. Independent spending on ads is never included here — see the Outside spending column.
