Wyoming held its general election on November 8, 2022, deciding 78 legislative seats and 5 statewide offices led by the governorship. No chamber changed party control.
Highlights
- Republicans widened an already lopsided Legislature, adding four House seats and leaving no third-party members, as Democrats dropped from nine lawmakers to seven.
- Every House seat that changed hands went Republican, though Democrats held their seats in Laramie and Jackson, where Liz Storer (D) kept the 23rd by about 3 points. The Republican gains:
- Gov. Mark Gordon (R) was reelected over Theresa Livingston (D), carrying every county, including Democratic-leaning Teton. Rep. Chuck Gray (R) ran unopposed for secretary of state, though more than 13,000 voters cast write-in ballots against him. Republicans swept the rest of the statewide ballot: Megan Degenfelder (R) won the superintendent's race over Sergio Maldonado (D), and Treasurer Curt Meier (R) and Auditor Kristi Racines (R) were unopposed.
- Voters approved Amendment A, letting the Legislature allow local governments to invest in stocks, and rejected Amendment B, which would have raised the retirement age for Wyoming Supreme Court justices and district judges from 70 to 75.
