怀俄明州议会选出新领导层 内瑟科特任参议院议长、拉森任众议院议长
怀俄明州两党议员14日上午在卡斯珀市举行会议，选出将在第69届州议会常会期间领导参众两院的新领导层。参议员塔拉·内瑟科特（共和党，夏延市）在无对手的情况下当选下一任参议院议长，她此前在第68届议会期间担任参议院多数党领袖，将接替决定竞选怀俄明州唯一联邦众议员席位的博·比蒂曼。参议员埃德·库珀（共和党，滕斯利普）当选参议院副议长，参议员温迪·舒勒（共和党，埃文斯顿）在无对手的情况下当选参议院多数党领袖。众议院方面，众议员劳埃德·拉森（共和党，兰德）击败众议员阿特·沃舒特（共和党，卡斯珀）当选众议院议长；众议员安德鲁·拜伦（共和党，杰克逊）击败众议员克拉伦斯·斯蒂瓦尔当选众议院临时议长；众议员J·D·威廉姆斯（共和党，拉斯克）当选多数党领袖，众议员科迪·怀利（共和党，岩泉）当选多数党党鞭。本届议会将有许多新面孔，自由党团联盟议员在选举中大批落选，该党团将不再掌控众议院。参议院议长、副议长、众议院议长及少数党领导职务将于明年1月12日议会开幕时正式选举产生。
Wyoming Legislature Elects New Leadership; Nethercott Named Senate President, Larsen House Speaker
Lawmakers from both parties in Wyoming met in Casper on the morning of the 14th to elect new leadership who will lead the House and Senate during the 69th Legislature's general session. Senator Tara Nethercott (Republican, Cheyenne) was elected unopposed as the next Senate president; she served as Senate majority leader during the 68th Legislature and will succeed Bo Biteman, who has decided to run for Wyoming's sole U.S. House seat. Senator Ed Cooper (Republican, Ten Sleep) was elected Senate vice president, and Senator Wendy Schuler (Republican, Evanston) was elected unopposed as Senate majority leader. In the House, Representative Lloyd Larsen (Republican, Lander) defeated Representative Art Washut (Republican, Casper) to become House speaker; Representative Andrew Byron (Republican, Jackson) defeated Representative Clarence Styvar to become speaker pro tempore; Representative J.D. Williams (Republican, Lusk) was elected majority leader, and Representative Cody Wylie (Republican, Rock Springs) was elected majority whip. The Legislature will have many new faces; members of the Freedom Caucus lost heavily in the elections, and the caucus will no longer control the House. The Senate president, vice president, House speaker and minority party leadership positions will be formally elected when the Legislature convenes on Jan. 12 next year.
