Background Information

District Map

Because of its relatively small population, the entirety of Wyoming is represented by a single congressional district.

Republican Representative Barbara Cubin held the seat since she was first elected in 1994 until opting to reitire in 2008. Although Wyoming has traditionally been a conservative state (Bush carried WY with 69% in 2004), Cubin, who is a staunch conservative, has had more trouble getting re-elected in recent years than was anticipated. In 2006, she squeaked by Democratic opponent Gary Trauner (48.3% to 47.7%). Libertarian candidate Thomas Rankin garnered 4% of the vote. The race was considered a toss-up by most analyists.
