President Trump endorses Wyoming's secretary of state for US House of Representatives

President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Chuck Gray, Wyoming's secretary of state, in the race for the state's single U.S. House seat. Gray is the Republican nominee after winning the party's primary in August, so the endorsement comes as he heads toward the general election. Trump announced it Monday on Truth Social, according to Fox News.

In his post, Trump praised Gray's work as secretary of state and pointed to his own victories in Wyoming in 2016, 2020 and 2024. He gave Gray his "Complete and Total Endorsement" and said the candidate would not let voters down. Gray responded on X by thanking the president. He said he has a record of advancing Wyoming residents' priorities, promised to carry it into Congress, and pledged to defend the state's way of life.

The seat is open because Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman, who currently holds it, is running for the U.S. Senate. That Senate contest is also open, since Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis is not seeking a second six-year term. Gray previously served as a state representative and radio personality, and in 2021 he discussed a campaign against then-incumbent Liz Cheney for the same House seat.
