Professor To Run For US Senate

There’s another contender for the upcoming Senate race in Wyoming. A University of Wyoming ecology professor, Merav Ben-David, has announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Mike Enzi, becoming the second Democratic Party candidate to join the race.  Ben-David is a native of Israel, but has lived in Wyoming for 20 years.  She says her international experiences could prove advantageous in the political arena. Ben-David declared her intentions to run during the Southeast Wyoming Women’s March in downtown Cheyenne on Saturday morning.
