Wyoming Freedom Caucus Suffers a Major Setback, Losing House Majority and Senate Leverage
In the wake of a disappointing budget session, the Wyoming Freedom Caucus lost most of its House incumbents and backslid in the Senate, likely leaving about 10 reliable votes in the House and a diminished Senate bloc. After gaining a House majority in 2024, the group failed to secure a supermajority or meaningful leverage, with several leaders and allies defeated in the primaries and others pursuing statewide offices; non-Freedom Caucus candidates won in most districts, reshaping the caucus’s influence on budget legislation and introductory votes.
