A multi-vehicle accident between Cody and Yellowstone National Park involving multiple motorcycles has resulted in serious injuries and possibly two fatalities.

At 9:38 a.m., the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) closed all lanes on U.S. Highway 14/16/20 near Wapiti due to the crash. First responders were rushing to the scene, which an eyewitness says involved multiple people who appeared to be seriously injured.

According to exchanges on the Park County Public Safety-WyoLink radio scanner, first responders had received “a report of two fatalities.”

The Wyoming Highway Patrol confirmed that multiple troopers were responding at the same time, asking drivers to “be alert, make room for emergency responders, (and) expect substantial delays.”

The highway was closed at mile marker 32.3. Anyone traveling between Cody and Yellowstone was asked to find alternate routes.

Wapiti resident Jimmy Rush was heading toward Cody for work when he observed the scene of the incident. It happened sometime between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday near the Old Faithful RV Park, just outside Wapiti.

“When I passed by, it was still a very early stage of the accident,” he said. “There were no first responders on the scene. There were at least four to five motorcycles and debris everywhere. I counted at least three bodies that I could see lying on the ground, not moving, with more down in ditches."

Rush said the victims were being attended to “by all of the gracious people of Wyoming,” who immediately pulled over and jumped out of vehicles to help.

A Silver Ford pickup truck, either an F-250 or F-350, had been “ejected out into a field,” according to Rush. From what he could see, it appeared to have "impacted something.”

“I immediately called (Park County Dispatch) and said, ‘You guys got to send everybody. There’s multiple bodies and multiple injuries, and one ambulance ain't going to get it done.’”

As Rush continued into Cody, he saw five Park County Sheriff’s deputies, multiple fire trucks, a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper, and two ambulances heading to the scene.

Rush took a photo of a WYDOT truck at the scene, which showed a damaged tailgate.

“It was the only picture I felt comfortable taking,” he said. “It was too grisly.”

No official information was available mid-morning Wednesday. Rush could only piece together a rough scenario of events based on what he observed.

“From what I can tell, the WYDOT truck was starting to do some type of work,” he said. “There were cones set up, but I don't know if he was setting those cones up for some pending work that was about to happen, or if he had set those cones up because of the accident.

Primary election campaign reports that were due Tuesday night show Sen. Eric Barlow out-earned Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder in campaign donations this primary election season, while Degenfelder gathered more money altogether, counting loans from her father and herself.

Degenfelder’s total receipts finished at $1,278,174 - $756,174 in donations and $522,000 in loans - as of her Tuesday Wyoming campaign finance primary election report.

Barlow’s contributions, which include no loans, finished at $1,155,814 in contributions. He also carried $391,710 into this race from fundraising for this campaign in 2025 - making the total about $1.54 million. His total donations tally is a "historic" amount, Barlow's campaign spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald noted in a Wednesday interview. 

Recent history bears that claim: Gov. Mark Gordon posted $541,577 in contributions in his 2022 primary election report and $155,846 in 2018. Former Gov. Matt Mead posted $100,052 in contributions in the 2014 primary election. 

A third Republican governor candidate this year, retired Marine Corps Col. Brent Bien, finished at $191,819.26 in contributions.

The fourth GOP candidate Curt Blake’s report was not available as of publication.

That makes this Republican primary contest for governor a roughly $2.6 million haul, and just over that in expense.  

Of her nearly $1.3 million war chest, Degenfelder spent just over $1.1 million. Barlow spent about $1.36 million. Bien spent $154,424.

[{"type":"text","text":"The primary election is Tuesday. "}]

Degenfelder’s is the only one of the three campaigns that reported receiving loans. Those comprised $497,000 in loans from her father, Steve Degenfelder, and a $25,000 self-loan.

Steve Degenfelder’s portion of her total intake is roughly 39%.

Both Barlow and Degenfelder report receiving political action committee (PAC) money.

[{"type":"text","text":"Degenfelder posted by far the most in PAC money, at $392,500."}]

Of that, she reported $385,500 from Wyoming-based PACs: Fight Wyoming Fight, the Wyoming Rural Electric Association, and Wyoming Conservative Women.

Fight Wyoming Fight, which lists its chair as Casper man Mark Petrie, raised $290,000 for Degenfelder. Wyoming Conservative Women, chaired by Tiffany Gamble, gave Degenfelder $95,000.

[{"type":"text","text":"The Wyoming Rural Electric Association PAC gave $500."}]

Degenfelder’s federal/out-of-state PAC money came from groups out of the traditional energy sector, HF Sinclair ($5,000) and OneOK Employee PAC ($1,000), and from a construction industry-related group, Tremco CPG PAC ($1,000).

[{"type":"text","text":"Barlow’s reports show much less from PACs, at $6,500."}]

Those comprise the Washington, D.C.-based Union Pacific Corporation Fund for Effective Government  ($1,000), the Bayer employee PAC ($500) and Rocky Mountain Power PAC ($5,000).

"I think, as he said from the beginning, this is going to have to be a campaign engaging the people of Wyoming, and he was going to have to go out and do the work," said Fitzgerald of Barlow's lower PAC and loan haul, higher donation total. "That’s reflective there. He said from the beginning he didn’t have a deep pockets to be able to loan himself money and he was going to have to go prove to the people of Wyoming he can do the good work of being governor."

Fitzgerald continued: "And the donations that he has received from PACs is also transparent; folks can see (the nature of) those PACs." 

Barlow logged $15,000 in donations from his mother, and $5,000 from his late father’s trust.

Bien’s report has the highest tally of anonymous donations, at $19,657, compared to Degenfelder’s $350 and Barlow’s $2,317.

"We put out a jar on the table and people would put cash in it," said Bien's outreach coordinator Cheryl Aguiar, referencing Bien's numerous events around the state. She said a lot of the campaign's support came from hours people never logged, and a groundswell of effort around the state. 

Bien posted the least in PAC money: $6,000 from the fundraiser group Friends of Brent Bien and $500 from the Wyoming Freedom Caucus-aligned Liberty’s Place 4 U, helmed by Michael Eathorne and John Gudger.

Aguiar said the campaign refused money from some PACs, and asked some not to send out negative mailers on Biens' behalf. 

"Brent was just super cautious on any negative campaigning and accepting money from PACs that were - well, we didn't know really who was behind them," said Aguiar. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Degenfelder Donors"}]

Noteworthy donors surface in all three reports. For Degenfelder, those include former Wyoming Republican Party Chair Matt Micheli; Lynne Friess, the mother of U.S. House candidate Steve Friess; current and former lawmakers Affie Ellis, Harlan Edmonds, Russ Donley, Timothy Hallinan; and current Sens. Charlie Scott and Jared Olsen.

 at the center of the CheckGate controversy, gave the Degenfelder campaign $1,000. Bextel made headlines for weeks during the legislative session after handing out campaign donation checks on behalf of a Teton County donor to at least four lawmakers on the House of Representatives floor, just after the session had closed its first day of business. 

Degenfelder's campaign spokeswoman Charlotte Jones said in a Wednesday email, "Megan’s campaign has earned support from grassroots donors, conservative Wyomingites, and energy workers from across Wyoming."

"Six state Senators, Senator Barlow’s own peers, have joined President Trump and Harriet Hageman in endorsing Megan Degenfelder for governor," Jones continued. "Megan has captured all the momentum in this race and will spend her last six days continuing to share her positive message for our future with voters.”

[{"type":"text","text":"Jones did not directly address Bextel's donation. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Barlow's donations also show multiple current and former lawmakers."}]

He inherited some money from the candidate campaign of former Rep. Ember Oakley, as well as a donation from Oakley herself.

Some of the current and former lawmakers in his donors roster include Rep. Ken Clousten, Sen. Tara Nethercott, and former legislators Joe Macguire, Jeff Wasserburger and Michael Madden. He also received donations from former House Speaker and current Cowboy State Daily columnist Tom Lubnau (columnists do not give on behalf of CSD), from former Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Bill Hill, and from the late Sen. Al Simpson’s son Colin Simpson.

Ryan Semerad, the attorney who won the famous corner-crossing public lands case, also donated to Barlow. 

Barlow received more than $1,000 from Rene Hinkle, one of the recurring plaintiffs 

Barlow campaign spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald said that donation and others reflect “what he stands for. Which is respectful leadership. And he has a record on that.”

Regarding Hinkle’s donation, Fitzgerald pointed to Barlow’s record of voting in favor of pro-life bills.

“Eric’s record on life in particular, pro-life legislation, is long,” she said. “So I don’t think that a donation reflects anything about his policy. It more reflects his leadership style. Which is a respectful leadership style.”

Barlow has voted in favor of every abortion ban Wyoming has passed in his tenure; and multiple other pro-life bills. 

Bien’s contributors include Republican Reps. Joe Webb, Gary Brown and Marlene Brady, as well as Crook County Republican Party Chair Mark Koep and Lander-based House candidate Jeff Martin, who’s challenging incumbent Rep. Lloyd Larsen.

Guest Column

Guest Columnists

My friend and erstwhile opponent in the 2018 Primary for Governor approached me a few days before election day and said, “Mark, I might actually beat you.” He had good reason to think that. It had been a hard campaign.

His entrance into the race had been a surprise to the entire field, but he approached it with grace, humor, and enthusiasm grounded in his faith. 

He earned his spurs, so to speak, by traipsing all over Wyoming with the rest of us, walking parades, answering questions at forums and debates. 

Campaigning is tough for anyone but this 79-year-old man, it was clear, had demonstrated he had the stuff it takes to be a strong leader.

I took his comment seriously. By then he had Chuck Norris backing him and Donald Trump Jr. Foster Friess was a fierce competitor eventually gaining President Trump’s endorsement shortly before the primary.

Foster and I agreed to keep the race above board – and I believe we did. Sure, there were some clumsy and ineffective 3

 party shenanigans towards the end, but neither of us ever condoned them.

Foster was always a gentleman, as were Sam Galeotos and Taylor Haynes. All were among the first to offer help to a new Governor with  so much to learn from each. 

I am grateful because I know it isn’t easy to offer a hand after such a hard fought election. It sucks to lose and it really hurts.

This election, similar to the one two years ago, has amplified the sorts of big city, big money, nasty half-truths and flat-out lies or falsehoods that have become all too common in other states. It’s not the Wyoming I know.

Here we respect the Code of the West, and most candidates always worked to discourage that sort of campaigning. They understood it was offensive to Wyoming people, who pretty well know right from wrong. 

Contrast is one thing, but bearing false witness is taboo for a population that appreciates all ten of the Commandments.

Where has that sensibility gone? This election we have been abused by cynical political operatives whose stock-in-trade is to twist facts and foment suspicion with incomplete, dishonest tales and misinformation. 

Especially galling are out-of-state political operatives who get paid big bucks for duping voters.  I hope their vilification is misplaced in the Cowboy State.  Wyoming voters are honest and they care.

I believe voters will see through the baloney that passes for politics elsewhere and will come to rest on those candidates who know what they are talking about, know and care about Wyomingites and know what is important to Wyoming – jobs, family, the economy, and our way of life.

Ask yourself, is this candidate talking mostly about someone else, or, as they should be, are they listening and talking about the things that will keep our core industries vital, our way of life secure, our kids safe, and our communities whole. 

Ask yourself if what they are saying is valuable to your community, to your family, to your grandchildren –  or is it just political blather and mud?

Ask what a candidate has actually done to make the state better and why.  Ask for details.

I say enough with the name calling, the false information, the nasty for nasty sake. Enough with the schlock that uses Wyoming voters as fundraising bait. 

Let’s elect people for who they are and what they will do, not for what some mysterious, never-heard-of-them-before organization ginned up to make voters mad. 

Let’s elect people to represent our interests, not puppets who parrot consultants’ talking points.

An elk calf made a decision that could have been fatal by ignoring a wildlife-friendly panel on a ranch fence and trying to plow through the middle of another section, only to become hopelessly entangled.

Luckily for the calf, the ranch hand and his wife were out for a walk and found the calf in time to free it. 

Apparently wiser after its near-fatal mishap, the calf scrambled toward the crossing panel and leapt over it to freedom. 

The ranch hand, Logan Wilson, told Cowboy State Daily that as far as he’s concerned, freeing the calf was just part of his job. 

“We care about all of the wildlife living out here,” he said.

Wilson is a former resident of Buffalo and frequently hunted mountain lions in the Big Horn Mountains. He’s since moved to the Diamond Cross Ranch near Birney in southeast Montana. 

The ranch is in prime wildlife habitat, with ample numbers of elk and deer. 

Wilson said he and his wife were “going on a daybreak walk” when they happened upon the calf. Its back legs were entangled in fence wire, and it was squealing loudly. 

“That sucker was caught. It wasn’t going anywhere,” he said. 

While his wife took video, Wilson went about freeing the calf. 

He started by placing a jacket over its eyes to calm it. 

That’s an effective tactic. Wildlife researchers frequently blindfold animals to keep them calm during field examinations or transport by helicopter. 

Willson freed the calf in short order. Once it got its feet underneath it, the calf took off running. 

This time, in the right direction, toward the panel designed to help elk cross the fence safely. 

“It’s a panel with a ramp on the elk side (outside of the field) to assist herds in crossing," he said. 

The ranch installed the elk crossing panels to help ease some pressure on the fence and to protect elk. 

“The elk go into the fields at night and back out in the morning,” Wilson said. 

Most of the time the herd funnels toward crossing panels. But not always. 

“We had a bull caught in the fence once. A big bull, but we got him out,” Wilson said. 

It’s kind of chaos when a herd of elk get to a fence and they get all balled up,” he said. 

“They can tear up the fences and eat the hay crops,” Wilson said. “It’s a constant thing; we have to follow around and fix fences behind the elk.” 

Wilson said he doesn’t resent that at all. 

He loves seeing the elk, “and they bring in a lot of revenue” from hunters and outfitters given permission to hunt on the ranch, he said. 

Wildlife-friendly fencing has been a boon for game herds across Wyoming and the West, biologist Kevin Monteith told Cowboy State Daily. 

Fences can be built in several ways to make them safer for wildlife. That might include smooth lower wires to allow pronghorn to crawl under. Or upper wires strung at heights that allow deer to jump over, said Monteith, a biologist with the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming.

“Anything that can enhance the freedom of movement” helps herds find the best habitat and migration routes, Monteith said. 

The calf getting stuck in the middle wires of a fence sounds typical, he said. 

“Especially when they’re young like that, they try to pass through the middle of fences,” he said.

<title>Hooray! Ranch Hand Rescues Squealing Elk Calf Entangled In Barbed Wire | Cowboy State Daily</title>

An elk calf got entangled in barbed wire over the weekend at a ranch in southern Montana but thankfully a ranch hand from Buffalo, Wyoming, heard it squealing and rescued it. “We care about all of the wildlife living out here,” he told Cowboy State Daily.

One of the nine Republicans running for the GOP nomination to U.S. House voiced strong criticism Tuesday of the state-level Wyoming Freedom Caucus.  

Reid Rasner also said he supports a slate of non-Freedom Caucus state legislative candidates.

“The Freedom Caucus has brought division, dysfunction, and political games to our state,” said Rasner in a Tuesday statement. “Wyoming deserves strong conservatives who will fight for our energy industry, protect our freedoms, keep taxes low, and actually get things done.”

The Wyoming Freedom Caucus is a controversial group of Republicans in the state House of Representatives who are linked with a national network of similar groups.

Proponents praise the caucus for proposing bold reductions to the state budget and efforts to pass socially conservative policies into law.

Opponents accuse it of over-relying on its national network and advancing sloppy or generic legislation.

The Freedom Caucus has endorsed Secretary of State Chuck Gray in the U.S. House of Representatives race.

At a July 23 candidate forum, Gray pivoted from a question about whether he’d join any caucuses in the House, saying, “at the end of the day, I’m going to be focused on representing the people of Wyoming. That’s who I align with.”

Gray did not respond by publication to a Tuesday-afternoon request for comment on Rasner’s remarks and the Freedom Caucus generally.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"‘Plenty Of Noise’"}]

Rasner is not the only Republican U.S. House candidate with strong words for the caucus.

State Senate President Bo Biteman in a Tuesday text message responded to Cowboy State Daily’s inquiry with, “I’ve always believed the best way to deal with political noise is to turn it down and get the work done.”

“The Freedom Caucus brings plenty of noise,” Biteman continued. “I’ve ignored them when they’ve attacked me, I’ve ignored them when they’ve taken credit for work I helped lead, and I’m going to keep ignoring the distractions.”

Biteman has had a complicated relationship with the caucus over the years. He aligns often with its goals, but is outspoken about not being part of it.  

He said Tuesday that he’s focused on winning the election by discussing issues that matter to Wyoming families like lowering the cost of living, protecting public lands, strengthening the Socal Security program “and making government work for the people again.”  

“Wyoming voters are tired of political theater,” said Biteman. “They want results.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Caucus Responds"}]

State House Appropriations Chair John Bear, R-Gillette, responded to both Rasner and Biteman in a Tuesday text message on the Freedom Caucus’ behalf.

[{"type":"text","text":"Bear is a former chair and prominent member of the caucus."}]

“Reid Rasner is a failed career candidate who has brought division, dysfunction and political games to our state,” he said. “Wyoming deserves (a) strong conservative, like Chuck Gray.”

Bear said Gray would fight for Wyoming’s energy industry, “protect our freedoms, keep taxes low, and actually get things done.”

Bear also rephrased Biteman’s statement as the caucus’ own, and turned the barbs back onto the Biteman-led Senate.

 “The Wyoming Senate and Cheyenne establishment bring plenty of noise,” said Bear. “We’ve ignored them when they attacked us, we’ve ignored them when they’ve taken credit for work we helped lead, and we’re going to keep ignoring the distractions.”

Bear said the caucus is focused on real issues that matter to Wyomingites.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"What They’re Saying Out There"}]

Steve Friess, a philanthropist and House candidate, told a Riverton-based coffee group on July 29 that the national-level, congressional Freedom Caucus contained “great people” and helped hold the Republican Party to a conservative line.

[{"type":"text","text":"The state entity is something different, he said."}]

“I don’t think too many of their policies have really been out of the mainstream of conservative thought, and all of them have been worthy of a dialogue,” said Friess. “But it just feels to me like brought in a different tone. They’ve brought in an argumentative tone; they’ve excluded people, calling everybody a RINO (Republican in name only).”

“I’m hoping this is kind of a thing that passes,” he added. “And folks that want to call people names and bully people will understand that’s not the way things should be done in Wyoming.”

Friess added in a post-publication comment that he wants to unite the GOP factions and “fight the real enemy, the radical left AOC/ Mandami Socialists.”

The candidate and combat veteran Kevin Christensen said his campaign tours have revealed a growing anti-Freedom Caucus movement. He said most people attribute that to the boisterous 2026 lawmaking session.

The caucus touted control of the state House of Representatives. It sought to eliminate the Wyoming Business Council, which budget hawks have long targeted, and to cut $40 million from the University of Wyoming.

Hampered in part by a check-passing controversy, the caucus achieved neither goal but did broker a temporary cut for WBC and an understanding that lawmakers will reform it starting this year.

“(The session) was largely ideologically driven,” said Christensen. “And a lot of really important legislation seemed to fall to the wayside in favor of mostly ideologically driven efforts.”

Former Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow, the only Wyoming native in this race who’s also held an elected statewide position, said she was more diplomatic about the caucus in the race’s early phases than now.

She agrees with their platform of limited government, pro-energy, pro-life, pro Second Amendment ideals, she said.

“It’s the tactics, and the exclusiveness of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus, that I don’t ascribe to,” she said.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Freedom Caucus 'Very Aggressive'"}]

Candidate David Giralt, who worked in Congress as an aide to multiple delegates, said he hasn’t seen Gray explicitly running on the caucus’ support, “but that might just be a consequence of him trying to attract more people.”

As for Giralt, he said he sees both the national Freedom Caucus and Wyoming’s version as using “very aggressive culture war tactics that, at the end of the day I think, just work against what the legislative process should be: holding true to your political ideological convictions and then working to get things done.”

Two more candidates, Richard Dodson and Keith Goodenough, did not respond by publication to Tuesday-afternoon voicemail requests for comment.

Confronted with the caucus’s comment, through Bear, calling him a “failed career candidate,” Rasner volleyed by calling Bear a “joke” and saying “Wyoming is done with these so-called Freedom Caucus losers.”

Rasner pointed to a 2023 bill to set Wyoming’s minimum marriage age at 16, which many Freedom Caucus members and Bear had opposed. Some pointed to Amish and Mennonite populations and other unique groups living in Wyoming, as well as teen pregnancy situations.

Rasner also derided Gray and asserted, “his political career is finished.”

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"bold"}],"text":"A Little Analysis"}]

The Wyoming Freedom Caucus has been vocal on social issues like keeping males out of girls school sports, helping the state fight illegal immigration, and abortion.

Its strategies to fight abortion have been unsuccessful so far, however: every pro-life bill Wyoming has passed since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 overturn of Roe vs. Wade has been blocked in court.

, the chance this year to put the question of abortion to the voters and overcome the courts’ injunctions. The Legislature won’t have another chance until the 2028 election.

 for lapses and other controversies associated with the state’s new school-funding package. But that was a bipartisan bill that, despite extensive debate, won overwhelming support upon passage.

The caucus often takes credit for passing a 

 cut in 2025. The conjecture may be fair: the bill sprang from a caucus-led Revenue Committee and passed with the caucus unanimously in support.
