SWEETWATER COUNTY — In the final day of candidate filings, Sweetwater County Clerk Cindy Swenson picked up a challenger, while a few more races have seen more candidates
Dale Davis, who Swenson defeated to become the county clerk in 2018, filed to seek election as a Republican Friday. Davis was elected as Sweetwater County Clerk in 2006 following Bobbi Bailiff’s retirement.
In Green River, two more candidates for mayor have filed. Bridgette Nielsen and Phillip Stanton have added their names to a field of seven candidates seeking the mayor’s office. Additionally, former Green River City Councilman Tom Murphy filed for election in Ward 1, joining Jason Souza and Ron Williams in the race, while Jean Joseph filed for election in Ward 2, creating another three-way race for that Council seat.
In Wamsutter, Seth Rauch, the town’s mayor pro-tem, filed for election as the town’s next mayor, while Jennifer Goff filed for a two-year term on the Council.
In legislative races, Democrat Rah Reinholz has filed for election to House District 17, challenging Republican Elizabeth Bingham in the November General Election. Jim Wilson of Reliance filed as a Democrat for Senate District 11, challenging Republican Bob Davis of Baggs.
For the U.S. House of Representatives, Keith Goodenough and Richard Dodson filed to create a 10-person race for the Republican nomination in August. Additionally, Democrat Elena Del Real of Lander filed for this office, creating a two-way primary for the Democrats.
