Bebout's gubernatorial campaign logo

Bebout stated that he was interested in running for governor in the 2002 election in 2000. [60] An exploratory committee in support of a Bebout gubernatorial campaign was filed papers with the secretary of state on May 15, 2001, with Senator Bob Peck as the committee's chair. [61] On January 8, 2002, Bebout announced that he had raised $102,000 to run for governor with $42,000 being from him, he would organize a campaign in twenty-three counties, and that Gale Geringer would be his campaign manager, but did not yet announce his campaign. [62] He formally announced his gubernatorial campaign on April 9. [7]

Bill Sniffin, one of Bebout's opponents, regarded Bebout as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination. [63] Bebout raised more in the Republican primary than all three of his opponents combined. [64] Representative Barbara Cubin denied having influenced the National Rifle Association to endorse Bebout. [65] Bebout defeated Sniffin, Ray Hunkins, Stephen Watt, and John H. Self in the Republican primary. [66] During the Republican primary he has raised $372,827 and spent $456,447. [67]

Dave Dawson, the Libertarian gubernatorial nominee, claimed that the Petroleum Association of Wyoming excluded them from their forum as they wanted to protect Bebout who Dawson said that he would take votes from. [68] Democratic nominee Dave Freudenthal defeated Bebout in the general election. [69] During the campaign Bebout had raised $722,345 and spent $691,167 compared to Freudenthal's, who he had outraised and outfunded, $533,424 in fundraising and $512,099 in spending. [70]

Wyoming Senate

Elections

Bebout was considered as a possible candidate to replace Peck in the state senate. [71] Peck, who had served since 1991, died on March 6, 2007, creating a vacancy in the state senate with multiple people seeking and being speculated about as candidates for the seat including Peck's son Steve, Bebout, Representative Frank Philp, and former Representative Brodrick. [72] [73] Bebout was selected as one of three finalist candidates by Republican precinct members of the 26th district who would be voted on by the Fremont County Commission. Lois Herbst, who had unsuccessfully run for a seat in the state house from the 34th district, and Doug Thompson, a Fremont County commissioner, were the other two finalists and Thompson stated that he would not vote on the nomination. The four remaining members of the Fremont County Commission voted unanimously on April 3, to select Bebout to fill the vacancy. [74] [75]

Bebout ran for reelection in the 2008 election and won reelection without opposition. [76] [77] Bebout announced on April 19, 2012, that he would seek reelection and faced no opposition in the election. [78] [79] [80] He defeated Democratic nominee Chesie Lee in the 2016 election. [81] [82] He announced on March 13, 2020, that he would not seek reelection in the 2020 election. [83]

Tenure

During Bebout's tenure in the state senate he served as chair of the Appropriations committee. He was selected to serve as vice-president of the Wyoming Senate in 2012. [84] [85] Bebout later served as Majority Leader starting in 2015. [86] On November 19, 2016, Bebout was selected to serve as President of the Wyoming Senate by the Republican caucus becoming the first person to serve as both Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives and President of the Wyoming Senate. [87] [88] [89] Seantor Drew Perkins was selected by the Republican caucus to replace Bebout as president. [90] [91]

Bebout was considered a candidate for the 2008 United States Senate special election which was held following the death of Senator Thomas, but declined to run as he stated that he was committed to filling out the remainder of Peck's term. [92] [93] During the 2012 presidential election he and James Lee Anderson served as co-chairs of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in Wyoming. [94] Bebout, Diemer True, and Tony Ross served on Senator Mike Enzi's campaign finance committee during the 2014 United States Senate election. [95]

Political positions

Bebout supports seat belt laws and supported making all passengers in a vehicle wear one. [96] Bebout stated that he was "totally in favor of the death penalty". [97] Bebout sponsored legislation calling for the United States Congress to end the United States' participation in the United Nations. [98]

Economic

In 1988, Bebout was an initial sponsor of legislation in the state house that would take out a loan that would cost $8.5 million a year in order to building a natural gas pipeline from California to Wyoming. [99] In 1991, the state legislature voted forty-three to twenty-one, with Bebout being the only Democrat voting in favor, to override Governor Mike Sullivan's veto, which was the first successful veto override in Wyoming's history, of legislation giving an extension of tax breaks for wildcat oil wells. [100] In 2016, the state senate voted twenty to ten, with Bebout against, against accepting the Medicaid expansion from the Affordable Care Act. [101]

Bebout and Ratliff sponsored legislation in 1989, which called for a constitutional amendment to prohibit the implementation of a state income tax without it being voted on through a referendum. [102] He opposed the creation of a state income tax. [103]

Equality

The state house voted forty-four to twenty, with Bebout as one of the four Democrats voting against, against reconsidering legislation to create a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. after the legislation failed in committee. [104] Bebout supported legislation to declare all same-sex marriages, including those conducted outside of the state, void in Wyoming. [105] [106] He opposed the creation of hate crime laws. [107]

Redistricting

Bebout proposed legislation in 1991, which would institute single-member districts for the state legislature. [108] The Joint Corporations Committee voted nine to five to adopt an amended version of Bebout's legislation while rejecting other versions that only had single-member districts. [109] [110] The state house voted thirty-three to thirty, with Bebout against, against an amendment to increase the amount of districts in the reapportionment plan from sixty to sixty-two. [111]
