The 1976 United States Senate elections was an election for the United States Senate. Held on November 2, the 33 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections. They coincided with Democrat Jimmy Carter's presidential election and the United States Bicentennial celebration.

Each party flipped seven Senate seats, although, one of the seats flipped by Democrats was previously held by a Conservative.

It supported eliminating the state's sales tax and rejecting federal education funding. It stood several candidates in the 2012 Wyoming elections for both state and federal office. The party pledged not to run any candidates against "favorable" Republican incumbents in 2012, as to not split the vote.

The party website has been defunct since 2018.
