Jimmy Skovgard, a Republican from Casper, Wyoming, has entered the race for the U.S. Senate. Skovgard was born and raised in the Big Horn Basin and has a strong connection to the state. He served 12 years in the Wyoming Army National Guard and was honorably discharged as a captain.
Background and Qualifications
Skovgard has worked in the private sector and has run his own business. He never planned to run for office but was inspired to do so in 2024 due to the path of division, distraction, and fearmongering. He believes that fear is being used to keep people angry and apart, and he wants to bring people together to build a better future.
