Elections for the Wyoming State Senate took place in 2024. The general election was on November 5, 2024. The primary was August 20, 2024. The filing deadline was May 31, 2024.

There were 11 contested Republican primaries for the Wyoming State Senate that took place on August 20, 2024. Ballotpedia identified eight of those primaries as battlegrounds. Click here for a breakdown of the individual battleground primaries.

The primaries took place in the context of disagreements between two legislative caucuses. According to WyoFile, the state Republican Party was, at the time of the election, "divided between traditionalist and hard-line factions," with the Wyoming Caucus representing the former and the Wyoming Freedom Caucus representing the latter. Since its founding, the Wyoming Freedom Caucus "managed to push through measures that initially appeared destined to die, such as legislation to restrict crossover voting and an abortion ban that’s now held up in court."[1]

Wyoming's 2024 legislative primaries were more competitive than any in the preceding decade. There were the highest numbers of contested Republican primaries (54), Republican candidates running (141), and contested primaries involving Republican incumbents (41) than in any year since at least 2010. Click here for more details on primary election competitiveness.

The Prosperity and Commerce PAC, associated with Gov. Mark Gordon (R), and the Wyoming Hope PAC supported candidates aligned with the Wyoming Caucus.[2][3] Former state legislator Allen Jaggi's (R) Constitutional Issues PAC supported candidates aligned with the Wyoming Freedom Caucus.[4]

The eight primaries Ballotpedia identified as battlegrounds included two elections where Wyoming Caucus-aligned and Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned candidates ran for open seats. The six battlegrounds with an incumbent on the ballot included four where the incumbent faced a Wyoming Caucus-aligned challenger and two where the incumbent faced a Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned challenger.

All six incumbents running in battleground districts won their primaries. The Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned candidate won both battleground primaries without an incumbent on the ballot.

As of August 18, 2024, Republicans controlled the Wyoming Senate with a 29-2 majority. Fifteen seats were up for election. A Democratic candidate filed to run in three of those seats, meaning Republicans maintained their Senate majority regardless of the election outcome.

As of the 2024 election, Wyoming was one of 23 Republican trifectas. A state government trifecta is a term used to describe a single-party government where one political party holds the governor's office and a majority in both chambers of the state legislature.

Battleground primaries

Ballotpedia identified eight of the 11 contested Republican primaries as battleground primaries, all but two of which had an incumbent running.

All eight battleground primaries had competitive fundraising between candidates and elements of conflict between the Wyoming Freedom Caucus and the Wyoming Caucus. Five of the eight battleground races had competitive fundraising where no one candidate had raised more than two-thirds of the overall campaign funds in the district as of the Pre-Primary 2024 campaign finance reports. As of those reports, five of the eight battlegrounds featured an incumbent running against a challenger who had outraised them, accounting for all but one battleground primary featuring a challenger.

Four of the eight battleground races had a direct conflict between groups associated with the Wyoming Freedom Caucus and groups associated with the Wyoming Caucus where factions backed different candidates. There were also six battlegrounds featuring an incumbent running against a challenger supported by groups associated with one of the two caucuses, accounting for every battleground primary featuring a challenger.

Primary election competitiveness

This section contains data on state legislative primary election competitiveness in Wyoming. These totals include data from all regularly-scheduled House and Senate elections. For more information about Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of state legislative elections, please click here.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Wyoming in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 23, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.


Wyoming had 54 contested state legislative primaries on August 20, 2024, the most the state has had since Ballotpedia began tracking in 2010. 

All contested primaries were Republican primaries, marking a record high for Republicans and a record low for Democrats.

About 35.1% of all possible state legislative primaries were contested, the highest percentage since Ballotpedia started tracking them in 2010. The average percentage of contested state legislative primaries from 2010 to 2022 was 24.6%.

There were 157 candidates running for 77 seats. Among those running were 16 Democrats and 141 Republicans. That was the highest number of Republicans and the lowest number of Democrats since Ballotpedia started tracking.

Sixty-one incumbents ran for re-election in the primaries. The average number of incumbents running between 2010 and 2022 was 60.1. Of them, a record high of 41, or 67.2%, faced primary challengers. Between 2010 and 2022, the average number of contested incumbents was 22.6.

Sixteen incumbents, including five in the Senate and 11 in the House, did not file for re-election in 2024. All retiring incumbents were Republicans. The average number of retirements from 2010 to 2022 was 11.7.

Wyoming has had a Republican trifecta since 2011. Since 1992, the state has had 22 years of Republican trifectas and no Democratic trifectas.


Open seats

The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Wyoming State Senate from 2010 to 2024.[11] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.

  10. Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
  11. Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
