The Wyoming Freedom Caucus was formed in
Story, Wyoming in September 2020 by 18 to 20
Republican members of the
Wyoming House of Representatives. Starting in at least 2023, the caucus's members are sent messages from the national
State Freedom Caucus Network's Wyoming state director that indicate the caucus's official stance on bills presented to the legislature, a practice known as "logrolling". It has been hypothesized by non-caucus affiliated
Republican representatives, including
Dan Zwonitzer that the caucus votes as a bloc in forced roll-call votes to appear more conservative than non-caucus Republicans. During the 2023–2024 legislative session, the caucus supported bills that made it harder for voters to change party affiliation, banned the use of pills for abortion, banned gun-free zones, and defunded the diversity office of the
University of Wyoming. The latter two were vetoed by Governor
Mark Gordon. In the
2024 primaries, the caucus was backed by Virginia-based group Make Liberty Win. Since
2024, the caucus has a majority of seats in the
Wyoming House of Representatives. Caucus members also hold every leadership position in the House. Speaker
Chip Neiman and caucus chairman
Rachel Rodriguez-Williams said that in the new legislative session, bills not previously given the chance to be considered will be put on the agenda. The
Wyoming Republican Party, controlled by a caucus-aligned leadership, are expected to be invited to have a closer relationship with legislators after multiple years of being shut out of political activity. Following the
2024 senate elections, the caucus' allies hold two of the top three leadership positions. ==Political positions==
