The 1982 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 1982. Incumbent Democratic Governor Edgar Herschler ran for re-election to a third term. He faced former State House Speaker Warren A. Morton in the general election after several prominent Republicans, including then-Congressman Dick Cheney, declined to challenge him. However, Herschler remained personally popular and the national political environment favored Democrats, and he had little difficulty defeating Morton to win a third term. In doing so, Herschler became the first Governor of Wyoming to win three terms in office.
The 1954 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 1954. Incumbent Republican Governor Clifford Joy Rogers ran for a full term as Governor of Wyoming after Frank A.

Simpson narrowly defeated Democratic former Secretary of State William Jack in the general election.

After defeating several opponents in the Republican primary, he advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by Lester C. Hunt, the Wyoming Secretary of State and the Democratic nominee. In a reversal from Smith's landslide election in 1938, Hunt narrowly defeated him in his attempt at a second term.
The 1918 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1918. Following the election of Governor John B. Kendrick to the U.S. Senate in 1916, Secretary of State Frank L. Houx served as acting Governor. He ran for re-election and faced a stiff challenge in the Democratic primary from attorney William B. Ross. After defeating Ross by a decisive margin, he faced Robert D. Carey, the Republican nominee and the son of former Democratic Governor Joseph M. Carey. However, despite Houx's past electoral success, he faced difficult headwinds as Democratic candidates did poorly across the country in 1918. He ended up losing re-election to Carey by a wide margin.
The 1934 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 1934. Incumbent Democratic Governor Leslie A. Miller ran for re-election to his second term, and his first full term, following his initial election in the 1932 special election. Miller faced Republican Alonzo M. Clark, his predecessor as governor, in the general election. Despite the closeness of Miller's first election, he took advantage of the nationwide Democratic landslide and easily defeated Clark.
The 1934 United States Senate elections in Wyoming took place on November 6, 1934. Incumbent Democratic Senator John B. Kendrick died on November 3, 1933, and Joseph C. O'Mahoney was appointed by Governor Leslie A. Miller as Kendrick's replacement. Two elections for the same Senate seat were held on the same day; one as a special election to fill the remainder of Kendrick's original six-year term, and another to select a Senator to serve the next six-year term. O'Mahoney ran for re-election in both elections. He was opposed by Republican Congressman Vincent Carter. Aided by the strong performance by the Democratic Party throughout the country in 1934, and by Governor Miller's landslide re-election, O'Mahoney handily defeated Carter to win re-election.
