Tammy Hooper was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Wyoming.[1]
In Wyoming’s county conventions and state convention in 2016, Ted Cruz won 23 delegates, while Marco Rubio and Donald Trump won one delegate each. Four Wyoming delegates attended the national convention as uncommitted delegates. Hooper informed Ballotpedia by email on July 15, 2016, that she was bound to Marco Rubio. Rubio suspended his campaign on March 15, 2016. "As far as I know, [Rubio] has not 'uncommitted' me yet," said Hooper.[2]
Delegate rules
Delegates from Wyoming to the 2016 Republican National Convention were elected at county conventions in March 2016 and a state convention in April 2016. Delegates elected at the state convention were self-nominated or nominated by a Nominating/Elections Committee. Delegate candidates, prior to their election, were required to indicate if they supported a specific presidential candidate or were uncommitted.

Delegate allocation
Wyoming had 29 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention: 23 at-large delegates, three congressional district delegates, and three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates). Wyoming's RNC delegates were not bound to support the winner of the state's caucuses. All other delegates were bound to support the preferred presidential candidates listed on their intent-to-run forms unless they were elected as an uncommitted delegate. Wyoming did not use a presidential preference poll to allocate and bind delegates in 2016.
