2026 Scorecards are Live!

It’s April 2026, which means the Wyoming Legislature just concluded its budget session and election season is gearing up.

Now more than ever, it’s critical for Wyomingites to know how their lawmakers vote while they’re in Cheyenne.

Many RINOs claim they’re Republicans because they vote well on social issues. While these issues matter, votes on spending are just as important.

If you vote for a resolution in support of free markets but turn around and vote to fully fund the crony capitalist Wyoming Business Council, you’re being disingenuous, and you’re a RINO.

Legislators who claim Republican bona fides but vote to spend like far-left Democrats aren’t Republicans.

Spending matters because the more state government spends, the less the rest of us have to spend. It matters because the more state government grows, the less room there is for free market growth to take hold.

Check out this year’s scorecard, which places an equal emphasis on budget votes and other platform priorities.

As always, please keep in mind that WyoRINO is not affiliated with the Wyoming State Republican Party. However, just as the election integrity process is something to be mindful of, so is the integrity of the Republican party and the candidates who run on the Republican ticket. It is up to us to expose RINO legislators who are Dems in sheep’s clothing.

Help us continue our mission to expose WyoRINOs in our state and encourage true, practicing Republicans to represent the people of Wyoming!

What is a RINO? A Republican in Name Only

Have you as a loyal Republican, gone to the polls year after year, voting for candidates with an “R” beside their name, trusting they would legislate and vote like a Republican but only to be disappointed?

Don’t feel bad – so have we.

The time is long overdue to hold politicians accountable for big government, big regulation, big taxation laws – values that the Republican party does NOT support.

This is the primary reason WyoRINO.com was created – to expose liberal Wyoming Republicans who violate our Wyoming Republican values.

WyoRINO.com is an index that is based on the Platform and the Resolutions of the Wyoming Republican Party, which are passed in convention every two years by thousands of elected grass roots Republicans.  This valuable tool scores Wyoming legislators based on their adherence to the timeless Republican values which will always inform and direct our party and country, regardless of current events.  These lofty principles include but are not limited to, adherence to U.S. Constitution, the defense of life, liberty and property, limited government, freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, fiscal responsibility and a free market economy.

If your Wyoming state senator or representative ran on the Republican Party ticket, it is correct and logical to assume that once elected, your legislator will actually vote like a Republican.  Far too often, however, that is not the case.  This is why WyoRINO.com was established – to expose liberal Wyoming Republicans who hold office.

The percentages which are indicated on the Voting Index reflect the cumulative scores based on ten key votes during each Wyoming Legislative session.  These particular bills were chosen by Ride for the Brand, Wyoming due to their easily identifiable traits in relation to Republican values. To examine the bills which were rated and their explanation, click on the WyoRINO Voting Index tab.

We encourage readers to examine how their own state legislators voted on each of the ten key measures. Ride for the Brand, Wyoming believes that a score below 70% indicates a RINO legislator. In the world of education, anything below 70% is considered a failing grade and we agree.

We also encourage readers and voters to commend their legislators for their constitutional votes and urge improvement where needed.

 

This month’s RINO of the Month Award goes to one of the most prolific RINOs in the Wyoming Legislature.

A Representative who has repeatedly earned scores of 0% on the WyoRINO scorecard year after year, who has never encountered a dollar he didn’t want to spend or a constitutional right he didn’t want to infringe upon, Representative Bob Nicholas (HD 7, Laramie) is June’s RINO of the Month.

An advocate of vaccine and mask mandates (and coincidentally a recipient of big pharma campaign donations), Representative Nicholas once declared on floor of the Wyoming House of Representatives that we are “at war” with unvaccinated people.

He’s an enemy of the Second Amendment, opposed to parental rights, and a friend to the abortion lobby — and he’s been in the Wyoming House pretending to be a Republican for fifteen years.

You can ask him what he thinks it means to be a Republican.

This month’s RINO of the Month Award goes to a big spender who has never seen an appropriation he won’t vote for or a pet project he won’t happily fund with somebody else’s money.

He also dislikes transparency, fighting against a bill that would have allowed citizens to access public judicial branch documents online.

Representative Bob Davis (HD 47, Carbon, Sweetwater) earned a whopping 10% on this year’s scorecard by voting for unnecessary spending, against property tax reform, against election integrity, and against nearly every Wyoming Republican Party priority.
