The1928 United States Senate election in Wyoming took place on November 6, 1928. Democratic SenatorJohn B. Kendrick ran for re-election to a third term. He faced Republican CongressmanCharles E. Winter in the general election, and a competitive general election ensued. Kendrick ended up winning re-election by a narrow margin, with Winters's campaign likely assisted by the strong performance ofHerbert Hoover in that year'spresidential election. Kendrick's third term would turn out to be his last; he died while in office on November 3, 1933, about a year until the seat would next be up.Joseph C. O'Mahoney was appointed to serve out the remainder of Kendrick's term and would end up winning the ensuing election in1934.
