Barrasso dominates Wyo. race in money, recognition

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Few U.S. Senate races are as lopsided this year as the one in Wyoming, where Republican incumbent John Barrasso dominates two challengers in funding and name recognition.

In the nation’s capital, Barrasso ranks fourth among Senate Republicans and is a widely recognized critic of the federal health care law. In Wyoming, he’s still known to many as a former state senator — and as the orthopedic surgeon from Casper who dispensed health tips during the local evening news.
