Sen. John Barrasso faced a challenge from financial adviser Reid Rasner in the Republican primary in Wyoming on Tuesday.
Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso on Tuesday defeated a Republican primary challenger, setting up a battle for a third term in November. Barrasso, currently the chair of the Senate Republican Conference, the third-ranking position among Senate Republicans, and a ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, defeated Reid Rasner, a financial adviser.
In January, Barrasso's wife lost her battle with brain cancer. 'After a courageous battle with cancer, Bobbi is now at peace and at home with the Lord,' Barrasso said in a statement. 'In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Bobbi was a leader, fierce advocate for Wyoming, and friend to everyone she met. We miss her dearly. On behalf of our entire family, we thank everyone for your prayers and continued support as we remember her and grieve together.
