Wyoming has sentcongressional delegations to theUnited States Senate andUnited States House of Representatives since it became a state in 1890.[1]: 191  Before becoming a state, theWyoming Territory elected anon-voting delegate at-large to Congress, beginning with the41st United States Congress in 1869.[2]: 182  Wyoming first sent a voting representative to Congress in the51st United States Congress, following its statehood.[2]: 228 

Each U.S. state elects two senators to serve for six years in general elections, with their re-election staggered. Prior to the ratification of theSeventeenth Amendment in 1913, Wyoming senators were elected by theWyoming State Legislature; afterwards, senators were elected directly by the people of the state.[3] Currently, Wyoming is represented in the Senate byJohn Barrasso andCynthia Lummis.[4]

Each state elects at least one member to the House of Representatives for a two-year term. The number of House members is proportional to the state's share of the national population, and changes every ten years with the results of theUnited States Census.[5][6] Wyoming has had one representative in the House since its statehood.[2]: 41  Currently, Wyoming is represented in the House byHarriet Hageman.[7]

Wyoming's congressional delegations have been exclusively composed of Republicans since the96th United States Congress in 1979. The last Democrat to represent Wyoming in Congress wasTeno Roncalio, who resigned in 1978 when he retired from the House of Representatives.[8]

Wyoming's current congressional delegation in the119th United States Congress consists of two senators,John Barrasso andCynthia Lummis, and one representative,Harriet Hageman, all of whom areRepublicans.[4][7] The state has had two senators and one voting representative in theHouse of Representatives since its statehood in 1890.[2]: 41 

TheCook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) is a measure of how strongly partisan a state is.[12]: 274  For each district or state, the CPVI measures the party leaning (Democratic or Republican) and the number of percentage points more partisan than the national average. For instance, a rating of R+4 would mean the district or state voted four percentage points more Republican than the national average, while a rating of D+9 would mean the district or state voted nine points more Democratic than the national average.[13] As of 2025, the CPVI rated Wyoming as leaning Republican at R+23.[9]
