Jackson Hole Resident and Republican mega-donor Foster Friess has announced he will not run for the U.S. Senate seat in Wyoming being left open by retiring Senator Mike Enzi. In a news release this week, Friess says (quoting Friess) “After a listening tour to Cody, Gillette, Casper, and Cheyenne, and a Tele-Town Hall visit with 8,000 fellow Wyomingites, I believe my most significant opportunity to serve the people of Wyoming is by enlarging the efforts of Foster’s Outriders. A U.S. Senate run would alter our focus.” Friess finished second in a six-way Republican gubernatorial primary in 2018 which former State Treasurer Mark Gordon won, and he subsequently was elected Governor by a wide margin. With Friess not running for the Senate, former U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis is left as the only prominent Republican running to replace Senator Enzi.
