Casper, Wyoming – Voters in Natrona County went to the polls on Tuesday to select directors for several key local service districts. The ballot included races for the Natrona County Fire District, Casper Mountain Fire Protection District, Natrona County Senior Citizen Service District and the Natrona County Conservation District.
Fire district director results
Four of the eight director seats were uncontested. John Bentley ran unopposed for one of the two full‑term Natrona County Fire District director positions and was automatically elected.
The remaining two‑year term seats attracted three candidates. Bryan Vandal led the field with 1,583 votes, followed by Brenda Hurless with 1,220 votes. Glen Lyday received 1,037 votes and finished third.
In the Casper Mountain Fire Protection District, two full‑term director seats and two two‑year term seats were on the ballot. All four positions were filled without opposition. Robert D. Davis and Kevin Knopik secured the full‑term seats, while Kaycee Klein and Michael Nack won the two‑year terms.
Senior citizen service directors
The Natrona County Senior Citizen Service District also saw a completely uncontested race. Three candidates—Ruth Doyle, Jane Ifland and Crystal Morse—were each elected to the three available director seats.

Laura Miles topped the vote count with 9,222 votes, and Tammy Cobb followed closely with 8,999 votes, both earning director positions. The third candidate, Zarryn T. Hinchen, received 4,579 votes and was not elected.
