I have just recently returned from the Wyoming GOP central committee meeting and they have chosen Former US Assistant Attorney General and Former Chief of Staff to Then Rep. Craig Thomas, Tom Sansonsetti, State Senator representing Northern Casper, John Barrasso and Former State Treasurer Cynthia Lummis as their 3 nominees to replace the late Senator Craig Thomas. I got a chance to talk to the 3 nominees and Barrasso said if appointed he will work to continue Sen. Thomas's legacy and bills recently named after him, Lummis said if she was appointed she would work to keep Craig Thomas's staff and would work with Wyoming's congressional delegation. We are going to try to get an interview with one of the 3 nominees in the coming days before Freudenthal announces the next senator.
