The1932 Wyoming gubernatorial special election took place on November 8, 1932. Just several weeks into his second term, Republican governorFrank Emerson died in office. Secretary of StateAlonzo M. Clark ascended to the governorship, and a special election was called for 1934. Clark ran for re-election, but was defeated in the Republican primary by State Treasurer Harry R. Weston. Meanwhile, former state senatorLeslie A. Miller, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee against Emerson in1930, once again ran for the office and won the Democratic primary. In the general election, another close election ensued. But Miller, likely aided byFranklin D. Roosevelt's strong performance in Wyoming in that year'spresidential election, narrowly defeated Weston to win his first term as governor.
