Senator Agar announces he will not seek second term

State Senator Wyatt Agar has announced he will not be running for a second term for the District 20 Senate seat in the 2020 election.

Agar cited increased responsibilities of family, ranching, and the family business as contributing factors to his decision.

“During my time serving I have been extremely introspective and judicious regarding which bills I signed on to sponsor. It has been my intent for my name to be associated with state changes that were meaningful, beneficial and aligned with the values of the people,” Agar added in his written announcement.

Agar also noted “Considering the future of District 20 - a rural district, and as we continue to see decline in population, it will become increasingly challenging to pull money into the Basin to deal with infrastructure and road issues. We will need a representative who is creative and innovative, in order to promote new industry in the area.”
