Result
Republican Quin Blair won Wyoming's House District 24 seat in the Nov. 3 general election, running unopposed after defeating incumbent state Rep. Nina Webber (R-WY) in the Republican primary. Blair's victory keeps the Park County district in Republican hands while replacing its incumbent representative.
Blair defeated Webber in the Aug. 18 Republican primary with 1,844 votes, or 66%, compared with Webber's 951 votes, or 34%. His 893-vote victory ended Webber's bid for a second term and left Blair without a named opponent in November.
Candidates and platforms
Blair's campaign website says Wyoming's public lands should be protected for future generations. His campaign identifies the following priorities:
- Supporting local businesses and responsible economic development.
- Defending the Second Amendment and constitutional freedoms.
- Strengthening schools so Wyoming students can build their futures in the state.
- Ensuring tourism supports Park County's economy while benefiting local residents.
The Cody Journal reported that Blair believes government should be accountable to taxpayers. In announcing his candidacy on May 15, Blair also criticized extreme ideology and partisan politics, arguing that elected officials should prioritize constituent concerns and practical policy decisions.
Webber, who lost the Republican primary, told the Powell Tribune that she supported the Wyoming Republican Party platform, including its opposition to abortion, support for limited government and free-market policies, and defense of Second Amendment rights. She also cited her votes for legislation that reduces property taxes and tightens election security.
District and chamber
Wyoming House District 24 includes the Cody area of Park County. Webber won the seat in 2024 after Republican state Rep. Sandy Newsome left office. Blair's primary win opened the seat for the general election because Webber was no longer a candidate.
Webber won the 2024 Republican primary against Matt Hall with 1,406 votes, or 52.9%, compared with Hall's 1,233 votes, or 46.4%. She subsequently won the general election with 3,372 votes, or 81.7%, including a substantial number of write-in votes cast in the uncontested race.
