A story broke by the New York Times, and rapidly circulated in Wyoming's media, recalls the old line that "truth is stranger than fiction", in this case recalling that type of fiction so memorably depicted as film noir.
It seems far right wing operatives, according to the press backed by Susan Gore's money, tried to infiltrate the Wyoming Democratic Party and even elements of the Wyoming GOP.
What the crap?
Some background.
This has been vaguely touched on here before, but now that its fully being reported on we can perhaps go a little more into depth as it doesn't sound as much like political paranoia. We'll start with the relocation of money, specifically Gore money.
That is, the money from Gore-tex, via Susan Gore.
Eh?
We'll bare with us.
Gore-tex was the product of Robert W. Gore, a brilliant chemical engineer. It's been hugely successful as a synthetic product and if you purchase outdoor products, it's hard to avoid. The Gore family itself is notable for its brilliance. Robert W. Gore was working for W. L. Gore, a chemical company, at the time he discovered or invented Gore-tex. That is, he was working for the company founded by his parents.
Robert Gore lived until 2020 and amassed a huge personal fortune. One of his children, and one of his heirs, is Susan Gore. It's hard to learn anything about Susan Gore, although its mentioned that at one time she was into transidential meditation. Wyo file alleges that she lived in a community devoted to it in Fairfield Iowa, whatever that means. She also was involved in litigation at one time regarding an attempt to adopt her ex husband in a move that the press claimed would somehow have increased her claim her share on the family fortune.
At any rate, at some point she moved to Wyoming and was a principal backer of the Wyoming Liberty Group.
The Wyoming Liberty Group is a libertarian organization that has an undoubted, and in many people's view negative, impact on Wyoming politics and the Republican Party. One former significant member of the legislature told me with personal disgust that it saddened him to see how the state's legislature had been "bought", by which he meant bent to the wishes of the group due to its large financial resources. That was early in its days but now the movement it got rolling has transformed the GOP which is divided between the old party hold outs and those who came up in the WLG days. The current crop of House candidates, other than incumbent Elizabeth Cheney, reflect this with some strongly holding the sort of views espoused by the WLG.
There are those who feel that the WLG's views have gone a long ways towards wrecking what was a uniquely Wyoming GOP (the Democratic Party wrecked itself) and frankly, the evidence is good that they've gone a long ways in that direction. Almost all of the current House GOP candidates would have not gone far prior to the WLG. And frankly, in calmer times, a lot of the wharf and woof circulated in it would be regarded as absurd. Indeed, as noted by Wyofile, at least one of its original supporters, Cale Case, abandoned it.
Now the New York Times is reporting that Gore money backed an effort to infiltrate the Democratic Party and even, if we want to call it that, the regular GOP. It's bizarre.
They Seemed Like Democratic Activists. They Were Secretly Conservative Spies.
Weird.
Wyofile has gone the NYT one better, and interviewed some of the principals impacted by this oddness, including Republicans.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, let us acknowledge that Wyo File is "liberal". Moderately liberal, in the Wyoming context, but still liberal. None the less, it's article contains some great quotes. Among them is this one from Cale Case, a conservative member of the legislature who was once one of the early members of the Wyoming Liberty Group who noted the following:
“I don’t really understand why you would try and infiltrate the Democrats,” said Sen. Cale Case (R-Lander), a longtime acquaintance of Gore and a former board member for her advocacy organization, the Wyoming Liberty Group. “They’re not driving the bus in this state, you know.”
Truly.
This reminds me, in some ways, of the Watergate scandal in that the Republicans had the election completely sewn up and still broke into the Watergate Hotel. Why?
Indeed, this also calls to mind that the Republican Party in the state needs a solid Democratic Party to function. Without one, they split into two or more parties, and are now even spying on themselves. If the Democrats don't take advantage of this, they'd be completely incompetent.
This has, however, been the year for political dementia, so who knows. The GOP is ripping itself apart with a good percentage of it still following lies that former President Donald Trump put out. So who knows what to expect.
What about the current crop of candidates, to they have any connection with the Wyoming Liberty Group?
Well, Chuck Gray has in the past, but perhaps because he's tacked his entire political career to the hard right. He isn't from Wyoming and when he arrived this may all well have been under way. A failure in his first race, he was appointed to office when the holder died in office, and has held his seat since then. As he's a member of the press, although he likely wouldn't see himself that way, he's interviewed members of the Wyoming Liberty Group in the past, which isn't surprising as they were basically fellow travelers in their views, at least at one time. Indeed, he interviewed Maureen Bader, who was at one time one of their most active spokesmen, although she no longer seems to have any connection with them. Bader is a Canadian and had been active with a taxpayers association there, but she's also once been employed by the port authority in Vancouver, BC, which always struck me as odd for a libertarian. But perhaps it isn't.
Indeed, before we look at the present candidates, this entire race has the atmosphere of the film genre we noted at the top of the thread, in more ways than one. We have all sorts of sordid elements. Spies and secret agents, politics, teenage lust, money, untimely deaths, outrageous accusations. This isn't a recipe for sane politics, or even a sane election. It's more like an episode of Pat Novak For Hire.
Well, who the heck is running right now?
Liz Cheney. She's the incumbent and probable nominee, in spite of the heavy rightward leaning slate of candidates against her.
Robin Belinsky: Belinsky is a business woman from Sheridan who is billing herself as Wyoming's Marjorie Taylor Greene and therefore predictably endorses the Trump's narrative that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen.
Greene is among the most disturbing of the Congressional Trump backers, so not only does Belinsky make a strong contrast to Cheney, it's one that isn't likely to get very far.
Anthony Bouchard: Bouchard is a member of the legislature from Goshen County who has been in a lot of local political spats and who is a far right firebrand in the legislature. Most recently, however, he's been in the news for the revelation that when he was 18, he got a 14 year old girl pregnant, and the drama that ultimately followed that. This also revealed that he's originally from Florida, something that was pretty vague before.
Bouchard originally came into the public eye through a firearms organization he's central to. He was also the first well known candidate to announce against Cheney. He's firmly in the Trump camp and appeared, with Chuck Gray, at the Matt Gaetz rally against Cheney before all the drama hit.
Bouchard is well known due to his prior political activities and therefore was likely to make it to at least the primary, which many in this crowded field will not. Now, however, he's pretty damaged goods so that's a real open question.
Chuck Gray: Gray is a hard right member of the legislature whose first appearance in the Wyoming political scene was an unsuccessful run at the seat he now occupies in the House. He was appointed to that seat upon his predecessor's death and is a Natrona County radio personality.
Gray and Bouchard were competing for essentially the same demographic and in some ways have had analogous political careers after having obtained office. Gray's chances have been boosted by the revelations about Bouchard whereas before that he seemed to be in second position for that demographic.
Gray has recently started advertising on Facebook quite a bit and is actually taking a fair amount of flak as a result. His promises to "drain the swamp" have pointed out that a freshman Congressman's power is nearly nonexistent.
Bryan Eugene Keller: He's a resident of Laramie County who has registered but I don't know anything else about him. A Google search didn't turn up much either. It's likely safe to say that Keller, absent something really surprising, will draw very few votes in the race. My guess is that he won't last in the race until the end.
Denton Knapp: Knapp is a retired U.S. Army Colonel and a current Brig. Gen. in the California National Guard. He's from Gillette originally and claims to be generally fond of the Cheney and to respect her past role in Congress. He had to move back to the state in order to establish residence in order to run.
Knapp received a lot of press when he announced he was running, but almost all of it boils down to "Retired Army Colonel. . . " which won't get him far. In the last Senate Race one candidate was prominently noted to be a retired Air Force officer and that didn't take him anywhere. Truth be known, while the country remains in a post war hagiographic era regarding veterans, a lot of that has become shallow acknowledgement and his long career in the service isn't likely to get him very far and may even hurt him in nativist Wyoming. Gone for thirty years? Brig Gen of the California National Guard? He'll have to come up with a lot more than that.
Knapp was until recently living in Orange County, and will have to reestablish residency in Wyoming in order to run. This will also hurt him. After a thirty year absence and then a relocation to Wyoming, coming back just to run for Congress won't be well received. In fact, it wasn't well received when Liz Cheney did that, which is why in her first race she took fewer votes than her two combined opponents in the primary.
Bryan Miller: Miller is the retired USAF lieutenant colonel who has twice run for Senate and lost. Now he's trying the House against a candidate who is presumed to be embattled.
Miller is a strong Trump supporter and supports Trump's false claims that the election was stolen.
Miller's association with Trump's false claims makes him somewhat distinct from the other retired military officer running this election, Knapp. There's something disturbing, beyond what is otherwise disturbing, about a military man supporting Trump's attempts to subvert the election. My prediction is that Miller's campaign won't go far although he'll stay in until the end of the primary as he seems to have a very strong desire to be elected to office and there has become a perennial candidate.
Marissa Selvig: Mayor of Pavilion. Selvig announced early and has a website, but has received very little attention thereafter. She's disadvantaged to a degree as Bouchard and Gray have a bigger audience by default.
Selvig interestingly focuses on her dedication to the constitution, which she holds is the "second" most important document in the American system, the first being the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence is a single purpose document with no post declaration legal import, so that's an unusual position. Otherwise, her stated positions are conventional typical local Republican.
Selvig's campaign is unlikely to gain steam anywhere. Her stated positions don't really serve to distinguish her from Cheney, and if she was to distinguish herself by going in the now trendy rightward direction, she'd be indistinguishable from Bouchard and Gray.
Darin Smith: Smith is a businessman and lawyer in Cheyenne, according to the information he's put out. He was the campaign manager for the failed Foster Freiss Gubernatorial run and his views reflect that. Freiss was a backer of his but has recently passed away, which may have an impact on the funding of this race. He stands out in that he's less fanatic in his endorsement of the Trump election stolen myth while still endorsing it in a lukewarm fashion.
Smith's stated positions on his campaign site by and large are typical for the Wyoming GOP including the insistence that "we" need to get coal back on the market. The problem with some of those positions is that they fail to acknowledge trends that have now passed a certain jump the shark level. Coal was declining, for example, under Trump. Regarding Trump, Smith's campaign site has the "Take America Back" phrase on the first page, which is really slang for "I believe the election was stolen" to some ears, whether Smith means that or not.
Smith joins Cheney in being a lawyer, which none of the other candidates are, which means that he knows that a lot of the pro Trump rhetoric that's grounded in the Constitution and what not is legally baseless and he should know its factually baseless as well. It'll be interesting to see if he, like Knapp, attempts to nuance his position on the 2020 election.
The thing that uniformly distinguishes all of these candidates from Cheney, except perhaps for Selvig and Keller, the latter of whom is a mystery, is that they're all backing Trump to some degree, with Knapp the least enthusiastic about it. Indeed the irony of this race is that Cheney's stance has brought her a fair amount of support from rank and file Wyomingites while also bringing her the ire of the county parties. Her original weakness was that she wasn't from here, which was a strike against her the first time she ran. In that race, the two main opponents split the vote and she took office. Since then she's risen in Congress and as a result of her stance, has risen in admiration in the eyes of a lot of people who were lukewarm about her before. She's almost certain to win this race.
Other races? Well, there is one that has a competition, sort of, right now, and that's the Governor's Race.
Mark Gordon: Gordon is the incumbent, he'll run again. He hasn't registered yet.
Gordon defeated a slate of hard right candidates in the 2018 election. Some of those candidates were pretty unhappy about the results with Foster Freiss being the most unhappy. Given this we can expect some hard right Republicans to surface and challenge him, although he'll win reelection.
In fact, one such candidate has announced he'll run, but hasn't registered.
Harold Bjork. Who Bjork is isn't really clear, but he's started a Facebook and internet campaign for Governor. From what little y ou can tell about him, he's a self declared "conservative" who is running pretty far to the right of Gordon and who is strongly opposed to the now expired mask mandate.
Rex Rammell: Rammell is a perennial and unelectable candidate who ran last time and will again. His views can be characterized as being on the fringe right/libertarian side.

The Trib reports that Chuck Gray is receiving support from a PAC entitled "Protect Wyoming Values. The Tribune reports the PAC is only backing Gray so far, and cites is supporter of MAGA, etc. and also disses Cheney. The theme is that Gray represented Wyoming values and Cheney does not.
The Trib called the PAC "secretive", but it just hasn't reached its donor support disclosure date.
July 1, 2021
An already surreal political season became all the more surreal as arch right populist Anthony Bouchard went on the attack against arch right populist Chuck Gray.
Up until Bouchard announced his campaign against Liz Cheney, Bouchard and Gray had been fellow travelers including appearing jointly at such things as Gaetz's Cheyenne rally in opposition to Liz Cheney. Both were on the Trump denial train and when both announced, they did so in the name of defeating Cheney for having voted to recognize, in essence, that the insurrection was just that and that Donald Trump bore some responsibility for it.
Bouchard announced first and Gray shortly thereafter. I wondered how long they'd get along, and now we know.
Bouchard fell from grace, of course, when revelations about his sexual past were revealed which also more fully revealed him as a Floridian by origin. Gray began to rise thereafter, competing for the same demographic. As he's done so, he's gained some support in extreme quarters, and Bouchard has drawn opposition from those same quarters.
Now Gray has drawn the support of Lin Wood, one of the Trump's supporters and a backer of conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 election and Bouchard is demanding that Gray renounce him. Gray hasn't actually commented at all, at any point, on Wood's support of Gray. I don't know who Wood is, but Bouchard, in making this demand, is sounding like a politician who is much more conventional than he's been in the past.
Wood is backing the idea of a nationwide forensic analysis of the vote, which is completely pointless and which is based on the erroneous hope against hope that if this was done, it would be discovered that Donald Trump actually won the election. Some go further and hope he'd be restored back to the Presidency. Former President Trump seems to have bought off on the thesis that is possible, which it is not. That's completely incorrect on two fronts. There's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the vote would come out any differently, although Gray has bought off on that thesis a bit by supporting the pointless Arizona recount, and secondly even if there had been an error, once the vote is certified by Congress, it's over.
On the latter point, some people seem to have a rather unsophisticated view of how elections, any election, actually works. They don't remain open for constant recounting Once they're accepted, they're accepted, any existing errors or not. The 2020 election, therefore, is completely over. Completely.
Wood apparently has a requirement that in order to receive his endorsement, for whatever that's worth, you have to buy off on this nationwide forensic waste of time and money. Bouchard says he won't do that, and he's now amazingly defending the integrity of the 2020 election. More specifically, he's defending the integrity of Wyoming's election and come around to the "some problems" thesis with some other states, but he's not sounding like a populist firebrand on it. Indeed, he now sounds extremely middle of the road. Gray hasn't responded to his demands so far.
It'll be interesting to see what Gray does. If he continues to ignore Bouchard on this, it makes him at least somewhat of a fellow traveler with real extremists, something he won't be able to escape later. If he joins Bouchard, it elevates a struggling Bouchard back up a tad, although probably not much. For that matter, now that this has occurred, it's a bit of a clean Bouchard break from being pretty extreme himself My feeling is that it will be impossible for him to overcome the scandal, but Wyoming's formerly most well known fairly extreme candidate is suddenly sounding much less extreme.

In a move that is sure to make her opponents howl, Liz Cheney has agreed to serve on the House insurrection select committee.
Long serving Natrona County law enforcement officer Gus Holbrook is retiring this month from his position as Natrona County Sheriff. He's been in the Sheriff's Office since 1984. An interim appointment will fill his shoes until the new Sheriff is chosen in November 2022.
July 10, 2021
The Green River Star ran an editorial specifically calling for candidates to disassociate themselves with Susan Gore and naming a few Wyoming politicians who have received funds from her in the past. That list included Chuck Gray and Anthony Bouchard.
July 13, 2021
Susan Gore released a statement terming the recent news story involving her "disinformatin" and an example of "character assasination".
July 16, 2021
Gray rose slightly more money than Bouchard in their efforts to unseat Cheney, while Cheney remains overall far ahead in fund raising. Much of Gray's came from a single donor.
Figures for the other candidates have not yet been released.
July 17, 2021
Following up yesterday's item, it turns out that Gray's campaign is largely self funded.
This would mean that Bouchard's campaign continues to draw in donors at a rate above Gray's in spite of the earlier revelations regarding his early years in Flordia. Gray also finds behind Darin Smith in this category.
Everyone falls far behind Cheney in the same category.
July 21, 2021
I saw the first television advertisment for the 2022 election, amazingly, last night. Chuck Gray has a television ad he released.
The advertisement specifically aims at Cheney for her impeachment vote and attempts to associated Gray with the extractive industries, while also citing his conservative legislative record.
A Trump spokesman announced he's meeting with Wyoming campaigns in anticipation of endorsing a Cheney opponent. The Gray and Smith campiagns indicate they've been invited to such a meeting. Bouchard and Knapp indicated that they have not been. Knapp's campaign was only lukewarm in its endorsement of the former President's claims the election had been stolen and of course Bouchard has been hampered by the Floridda revelaation.
July 22, 2021
The Club For Growth has issued an anti Cheney ad attempting to lable her as a "Clinton Republican".
The claim, frankly, that Cheney isn't conservative, is bizarre.
July 26, 2021
Both Gray and Smith have ads running on the Olympics.
Both are very similiar, taking the position that Trump was good for Wyoming and Cheney did a bad thing by voting to impeach Trump. The interesting thing about the logic is that they don't even address the January 6 insurrection, perhaps because they really can't. Irrespective of that, that's their basic point. At some point these campaigns will therefore have to directly addresss the insurrection, and either adopt the counterfactual version of events, or simply take the position that it doesn't matter, or perhaps that Trump had no role in directly getting it rolling and is not to be blamed for failing to take steps to address it once it commenced.
Of course, they're betting that for Wyoming's voters it doesn't really matter, which is an interesting aspect of this race in and of itself.
Of course all of this means that the state is in for a brutally long campaign seaso which will seem like it will never end. Cheney hasn't even really begun to spend her huge war chest, and her opponents are starting to advertise in television. For the numerous people who really don't like politics, this race may simply prove to be just too much.
July 29, 2021
Gray and Smith have reported met with Donald Trump in a bid for his endorsement. The meeting was invited by Trump.
Just by observation, on the item on the commercials noted above, a lot of people's reaction to them is that its too early for televsion ads and they wish the candidates would knock it off. The Olympics commercials are probably the first exposure to the campaign that a lot of people who don't regularly follow politics have received.
August 1, 2021
A huge rally in Texas, featuring, amoung others, Willie Nelson, propsoes to "vote them out", those being the Republican legislators who have been backing a bill in Texas that imposes voting restrictions.
Something that hasn't been hugely noticed by a lot of people, although it is commented on in the political blogosphere, Texas is about to flip back to Democratic. It'll be "purple", in the unfortunate American political coloration scheme, with heavily Republican areas, but the shift seems certain. It'll technically be a shift back to Democratic but not really, in right left terms, as when it was Democratic it was part of the Southern Democratic system, with that party being very conservative, and of course also being very white. Texas was one of the Southern states which shifted to the GOP following the elections of Carter and Reagan.
Since then its marched on to massive urbanization and accordingly has very heavily Democratic pockets. The loss to the GOP, when it comes, will be extremely significant.
Former President Trump has amassed a $102,000,000 war chest so far in advance of the 2024 elections even though its very uncertain whether or not he'll be running. We can presume that if the inevitable toll of advancing years hasn't caught up with him by then, he likely will be.
Trump's ongoing legacy is now beginning to seriously concern Republicans in Congress behind the scenes as they're beginning to worry about something we've predicted here, his ongoing legacy will mean they'll lose ground in the House.
August 4, 2021
The Protect Wyoming Values PAC which has been backing Chuch Gray turns out to have one contributor, according to its recenty filings, and that is Gray's father. This according to an article published in the Tribune.
There's not prohibition on a single donor, or family donor, PAC of course.
Gray has been seen in the past as the primary contender against Bouchard in the right wng race to unseat Cheney. It's been noted that Gray has had a larger warchest but its aslo been noted that donations to his campaign have been primarily from himself. Bouchard, for his part, has been silent since the news of his early Florida years broke. Right now, Darin Smith seems to be rising in this category. Smith and Gray are waiting to see which of them Trump will endorse.
August 8, 2021
The upcoming 2022 election spilled into the current legislature when the two best known populist far right candidates had a spat in a legislative committee.
Gray, more or less freshly back from Arizona were a completely pointless audit of the 2020 election results has been going on spoke in a committee meeting about his desire to take away the review of ballot results from county clerks, long the practice in Wyoming, and to hand it over statutorily to the State Department of Audits, a state agency that has had no prior role in this area. He wanted the Legislative Service Office to draft up a bill to that effect.
The suggestion largley met with a cold reception but it met with a particularly blistering one from Anthony Bouchard, who defended Wyoming's election machines and who declared that there's no problem with election integrity in Wyoming. The embattled Bouchard, who has very much moved towards the center since the news of his early Flordia years surfaced, further stated; “I’m sick and tired of hearing about it. Why don’t we go to your clerk and audit your election and see if you were duly elected? Because the problem we are having by talking about this here is you are making everybody think that we have a problem here in Wyoming. That is wrong to our clerks. That is wrong to our state on elections.”
He added; “Quite frankly, I’m disgusted that you’re pulling this election issue because you are running for office here"
Gray, who obviously wasn't prepared for the attack from Bouchard, got off the weak reply that Bouchard was "talking about himself", at which point the committee chairman shut the exchange down. Gray asked if he could reply and was effectively told no and that he could take his debate with Bouchard outside the chamber.
Other committee members, it might be noted, were also hostile to the bill, with one highly critical of Gray's suggestion this wouldn't add costs to the state's budget.
Setting Gray and Bouchard aside, sort of, Bouchard and the other critics of the proposal, which failed 7 to 2, with Gray's vote presumably one of the two in favor of it, were absolutely correct that Wyoming has had no election problems. Bouchard is also basically correct that Gray has made the false claims of massive voter fraud in 2020 an issue, although I suspect that Bouchard would have maintained something like that in regard to the election elsewhere at least early on as he launched his campaign over Liz Cheney's vote to impeach President Trump.
What we're partially seeing, however, is that Gray has attempted to elevate himself in the competition for the same demographic that Bouchard represents, and seemingly had strongly backing him before the news of his Florida teenage years surfaced. Gray is one of now three candidates that the Trump organization has been looking into, with interestingly one of them being an undeclared candidate. My guess is that Darin Smith will receive that endorsement and Gray's sun will begin to set. His campaign finance sources so far have proven to be largely family money, which suggests that he's not drawing much support from around the state. Additionally, the core of Bouchard's support has stuck with him in spite of the scandal.
August 10, 2021
The Park and Carbon County Republican Parties have voted to rescind recognizaing Liz Cheney as a Republican and urge that she be removed from committee assignments, even while acknolwedging that they can't expel her from the party.
The move varies from ineffective to self defeating, as if she actually is removed from assignments, the wide ranging implications vary from hurting the state to potentially really hurting the GOP in the House. There's a high likelihood that the ongoing hearings on January 6 are going to reveal facts which will hurt the GOP at the national level.
Enrolling in a party is a subject of state law, so the resolution, which is the form of a letter to Cheney, really has no legal effect. It quotes the "you're fired" line from President Trump's television show The Apprentice, which probably serves to show how Trump-centric the entire matter is, even as one Carbon County Republican claimed that the move had little to do with Trump himself, a fairly absurd claim under the circumstances. Backers of the move claimed it would likely spread to other counties, which is probably correct, but it won't spread to all of them, so it may also serve to increase the growing devide in the party.
Free membership in political parties, it might be noted, is a typical feature of western democracies, so as a rule there is almost never the ability to expell a person from any party. For that reason, the parties themselves, while self defining, also are fluid as to what they stand for. The ability to expel members from parties tends to be a feature of minor parties or parties in single party systems.
August 11, 2021
And now Fremont County's GOP has joined Park and Carbon Counties' in the "not my rep" letter.
August 20, 2021
Patagonia is withdrawing its murchandise from sales at the Jackson Hole Ski Resort due its hosting a Trump fund raiser featuring Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Corporate action in politics has been increasing in recent years, often meeting with public criticism, but it isn't new to Patagonia which has long had a politiclally liberal stance and a pro environmental stance. Chances are that this will be met with verbal hostility in Wyoming, but it can be predicted that this will make little difference to Patagonia. The action may make a difference to the Jackson Hole Ski Resort to some degree, however, given that it caters to tourist, many of whom are much less likely to look favorably upon Greene or Trump that the average Wyomingite.
August 30, 2021
An editorial on Sunday condemned Wyoming legislators promoting voting fraud story lines as hurting the State of Wyoming, specifically naming Chuck Gray amongst those doing so.
September 8, 2021
At least according to rumor central, Harriet Hageman, a far fight Wyoming politician who unsuccessfly ran for Governor in the primary in which Gordon prevailed, is going to announce against Cheney and will receive the Trump endorsement. She resigned her local position as head of the RNC just today.
