Four running for District 20 Senate seat

Three Republicans and one Democrat are in the running for the vacant District 20 Senate seat. Wyatt Agar decided to not seek reelection for the position.

Republican

Roland Leuhne: Having moved to Thermopolis while in middle school, Leuhne is well known as the owner of the Star Plunge. He is pro law enforcement as well as pro ranching/farming. He is anti “new rules” and regulations and supports the constitution.

Linda Weeks: Weeks has worked with large teams during her career as well as multi-million dollar budgets. She is here to protect our rights, keep our government small and our taxes low. Weeks believes we need to take a good look at the state’s budget as well as economic development and education.

Ed Cooper: Hailing from Ten Sleep, Cooper believes he brings his Wyoming roots to the campaign as well as values and experience. A supporter of the second amendment, Cooper also believes in the right to life and is a voice for agriculture, our natural resources, and business opportunities.

Democrat

Theresa Livingston: She feels Wyoming revenue, education and equality are high priorities for the state. Included in her platform is a single payer health care system along with clean air, clean water and access to public lands. Her most important issue, however, is taking care of the people of Wyoming.
