Teton County resident to challenge Lummis

[ccharles000]

U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, is going to have to fight for a second term.

David Wendt, a Teton County resident and president of the Jackson Hole Center for Global Affairs, announced Saturday that he plans to run against Lummis in this year’s election.

Wendt, who said he was approached by local Democratic leaders to run for the seat, said he wants to address Wyoming’s “leadership gap” in Congress.

“My feeling is that Wyoming is not being adequately represented in Washington,” Wendt, 65, said before making his announcement Saturday during the Teton County Democratic convention.
