Wyoming State Treasurer

This race is pitting a man with years of experience against a legislative giant with energy. State Secretary of State Joe Meyer is running against ex. State Speaker of the house Fred Parady. These two are running for the right to run against democrat Ron Redo who is unopposed in this election.

The Candidates
(R)Joe Meyer, State Secretary of State 1999-Present, Assistant to the President of the University of Wyoming 1995-1999, Wyoming State Attorney General (Gov. Appt) 1987-1995, Assistant Director Wyoming Legislative Service Office 1971-1987, Smith & Meyer Law Firm 1968-1971, Deputy Fremont County Attorney 1967-1969

(R)Fred Parady, ex. State Speaker of the Wyoming house of Representitives 2003-2004, ex. Majority Floor Leader, Chairman of Management Council, Capital Investment, and Finace Committees, Member of the Wyoming house of Representitives 1995-2005, Enviornmental Engineer 25 years

(D)Ron Redo No info. provided

No other candidates

This primary day two Wyoming political giants will fight off in a close fight. Meyer has been the most popular, but Parady has shown his energy and experience in their debate and has started to climb in popularity. This will surely be a close race and either candidate could win. Parady promises to make Wyoming's money work as hard as they do. Meyer 's slogan is "Proven Leadership for a secure future." They both have been differing in many issues and both would do things very differently if elected. They are both fighting to run in November against political unknown Ron Redo who has stated a cause, or a campaign or even a website.

My Prediction
G.O.P. Primary
(R)Meyer 52%
(R)Parady 48%

General Election
(R)Meyer 72%
(D)Redo 28%

No actual polls conducted.
