Alta rancher to seek Wyoming congressional seat
Alta, Wyoming rancher Leland Christensen will be a republican candidate for Congress this year. Christensen is a former Teton County deputy sheriff, Teton County commissioner, and current State Senator.
Christensen said he hopes to succeed Cynthia Lummis in Wyoming’s lone seat in the United States House of Representatives.
“I cannot stand idly by and watch as Washington wages war on our economy. The Obama Administration’s recent suspension of coal leases on federal lands is an all too common example of how Washington is taking aim at Wyoming families,” Christensen said. “I simply won’t allow this assault on our way of life to go unaddressed.”
Annaliese Wiederspahn, the daughter of former Wyoming state legislator Alvin Wiederspahn and Congressman Lummis will serve as Christensen’s campaign chair.
