2026 U.S. Senate election in Wyoming
Voters in Wyoming will elect one U.S. senator in 2026 for the state’s Class II Senate seat. The race is notable because incumbent Cynthia Lummis is not seeking re-election, making it an open-seat contest in a state that has been strongly Republican in recent federal elections. Ballotpedia rates the general election as solid/safe Republican, and the main contrast so far is within the Republican primary between a sitting member of Congress and a challenger emphasizing term limits and outsider status.
