WCHR Announces 2026 General Election Endorsements
The Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement (WCHR) is proud to announce its endorsements for the 2026 General Election.
WCHR is a nonpartisan, issues-focused organization dedicated to protecting the retirement security of Wyoming's public employees and retirees. Our endorsements are not based on political party—they are based on a candidate's commitment to preserving the Wyoming Retirement System and honoring the promises made to Wyoming's public servants.
How WCHR Selects Candidates for Endorsement
The WCHR Board of Directors conducted a thorough endorsement process that included:
• Candidate questionnaire responses
• Legislative voting records for incumbent legislators
• Support for protecting Wyoming's defined-benefit retirement system
• Support for measures that strengthen retirement security for Wyoming retirees
• A demonstrated commitment to responsible retirement policy and fiscal stewardship
Each endorsement was carefully considered and approved by the WCHR Board of Directors.

Every Vote Matters
The future of Wyoming's retirement system depends on electing leaders who understand the importance of keeping the promises made to the public employees who educate our children, protect our communities, maintain our roads, and provide essential public services.
WCHR encourages every eligible voter to participate in the 2026 Primary Election and support candidates who are committed to protecting the retirement security of Wyoming's working and retired public employees.
Thank you for supporting the Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement.
