The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming
The primary election saw several local races called for challengers, according to the unofficial results.
In nonpartisan municipal races, two candidates will move forward to the general election for each seat, including any potential write-in candidates.
For all other races, the winning candidate for each party moves ahead to the general.
In one of the biggest upsets, Bob Latham beat incumbent Jeanne Whalen for the nomination to county commissioner. Incumbent Ogden Driskill, however, appears to have won a tight race against Roger Connett and Bill Fortner for the state senator nomination.
Below are the initial, unofficial local results from the primary. Only local results appear for state offices.
