Wyoming 2026 Election Results: Barlow Elected Governor, Hageman Wins Senate Seat

Wyoming voted in the 2026 midterm elections on November 3, and the results below are the collective choice of the state's voters. According to the Wyoming Secretary of State's count and Associated Press race calls, Eric Barlow was elected governor, Harriet Hageman was elected to the U.S. Senate, Chuck Gray was elected to the U.S. House, and Republicans won every statewide office. The ballot's only statewide question, a homestead property tax exemption initiative, was rejected. The full list follows.

Governor and U.S. Senator

Governor: Eric Barlow (R, a state senator), 128,480 votes, 68.6%, elected. Gov. Mark Gordon (R) was term-limited, so this is a Republican hold. Called by the AP.

U.S. House

At-Large District: Chuck Gray (R, the incumbent secretary of state), 99,891 votes, 54.5%, elected; the seat was vacated by Hageman's Senate run and is a Republican hold. His opponents were Lisa Kinney (D), 61,687 votes; Shawn Johnson (Libertarian), 13,665 votes; and Jeffrey Haggit (Constitution Party), 7,960 votes. Called by the AP.

State House: 62 seats, all up this year. Republicans kept control (56-6 before the election) with no flip of control; exact post-election seats await certification.

In sum, Republicans held both chambers before and after the election and, with the governor's office held, keep their trifecta.

Counting and Certification

Figures are from the Secretary of State's unofficial count and AP calls as of the morning of November 4 (the AP estimates about 97% of the expected vote counted, with all 23 counties reporting), pending county canvasses and state certification.
