WCHR Announces 2026 Primary Election Endorsements

The Wyoming Coalition for a Healthy Retirement (WCHR) is proud to announce its endorsements for the 2026 Primary 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.
