WyoFile

As Wyoming enters the heart of campaign season for the Aug. 20 primary, mailboxes, email inboxes and voicemails are filling up political literature. Maggie Mullen is a reporter at WyoFile who's been working with a team to look into some of these mailers, texts, phone calls and door knocks to get a sense of who’s trying to sway your vote. Maggie sat down with Wyoming Public Radio’s Nicky Ouellet to share what she’s learned about mailers some Wyoming voters have received recently.

Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are increasing nonfatal and fatal drug overdoses nationwide. In 2022, Wyoming reported that 93 people died from a drug overdose. Fourty-eight of those involved fentanyl. After months of investigations, requesting data, and coming up dry, WyoFile reporter Madelyn Beck has come out with a four part series on what data the state collects and how that data is lacking. Wyoming Public Radio’s Kamila Kudelska asked what was the question that started it all.

Unless you are heavily involved in Wyoming Party Politics, you’ve probably never heard of Republican Party Chairman Frank Eathorne. But within the party system, Eathorne is a polarizing figure. Under Eathorne the party has become more conservative and more combative and those fights involve members of their own party. While there were a minority of Republicans who always behaved that way, they have thrived and have gained power under Eathorne. WyoFile’s Rone Tempest and Tennessee Watson joined the Casper Star Tribune's Victoria Eavis to develop a profile of Eathorne. Eavis speaks with Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck.
