Wyoming Senate President Dan Dockstader announced Wednesday that he is leaving the hotly contested race for secretary of state and endorsing fellow Sen. Tara Nethercott, R-Cheyenne.
Of the remaining three candidates, Nethercott is the only one who has not cast doubt on the security of Wyoming’s 2020 election.
“In many instances Sen. Tara Nethercott and I agree on topics related to ensuring safe and secure elections in Wyoming by working with 23 county clerks, in addition to maintaining a successful business division within the Secretary of State’s office,” Dockstader said in a press release. “Her commitment to economic diversity, job creation and job retention will also be reflected in the Secretary’s business division.”
Dockstader represents state Senate District 16, which includes part of Teton County.
Before bowing out of the race for Wyoming secretary of state, he participated in a virtual voter forum presented by the League of Women Voters, Teton County Library and local media, including the Jackson Hole News&Guide.
