CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Democrats in Wyoming have suffered another dismal election despite their party’s respectable performance in the midterms nationwide. Democrats didn’t even field candidates for three of Wyoming’s six statewide races and lost badly in the other three, the contests for U.S. House, governor and superintendent of public instruction. Democrats also lost two of their nine seats in the Wyoming Legislature, pushing their share of the statehouse under 8%. Democratic winners in the state included Aaron Appelhans, who won 52% of the vote to become Wyoming’s first elected Black sheriff. Appelhans credits knocking on doors and help from volunteers for the win.
