The filing deadline for major-party state candidates in Wyoming is May 28, so Democrats have 61 days to find a candidate to run for governor.

Former Casper Mayor Larry Clapp announced Friday that he won’t run for governor . . . Clapp’s decision comes two days after Cheyenne attorney Paul Hickey also announced he wouldn’t seek the governor’s chair. Gov. Dave Freudenthal is prevented by term limits from running again, and he has said he won’t challenge the term limits law to seek a third term.
