GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Columnist Tom Lubnau outlines how prospective 2026 gubernatorial candidates are focusing on fundraising as a key part of their campaigns, with Rep. Hageman, Secretary Gray, Sen. Barlow, Brent Bien, and Joseph Kibbler all working to secure financial backing. The candidates’ ability to raise the necessary funds may decide who officially enters the race — Gov. Mark Gordon has not confirmed his run.  Cowboy State Daily
