Wyoming has been represented in the U.S. Senate exclusively by Republicans since 1977. Cynthia Lummis was first elected in 2020, defeating Merav Ben-David by 46 percentage points to succeed longtime incumbent Senator Mike Enzi, who opted to retire. ^{[4] [5]} Wyoming is unique in its status as the "reddest" state in the entirety of the nation as it also is the least-populated state in the country. ^[6] Lummis raised $500,000 for her re-election bid in Q2 of 2025. ^[7]
