Endorses Brennan
The race
One state House seat is at stake in Wyoming's House District 23, for a two-year term, on November 3, 2026. The incumbent, Liz Storer (Democratic), is seeking re-election. The confirmed general-election roster, from the Ballotpedia general-election table for this chamber, is: Liz Storer (Democratic); Shannon Brennan (Republican).
Wyoming is a deep-red state; Sabato's Crystal Ball (January 22, 2026) and State Navigate (October 2026) both rate the chamber Safe Republican (Wikipedia predictions tables). No published district-level competitiveness rating was located for this district at this sourcing depth; in most Wyoming districts the August 18 primary was the decisive contest.
The candidates, claim by claim
Liz Storer (D), incumbent. Liz Storer appears on the confirmed general-election roster for this district (Ballotpedia general-election table, accessed October 25, 2026).
Pros: A sitting incumbent whose constituents know the record. Cons: No documented break with the Democratic Party toward this publication's values was located in the compiled record — no Manchin-test break. The organizing vote adds to a Democratic caucus whose program this publication opposes; that caucus weight is lighter in the House than in the Senate, but it does not create an exception where no break exists. The flaw, plainly: Enabler class, not extremist — a reliable party-line vote, which is the standing reason the exception for a Democrat is not earned here.
Shannon Brennan (R), nominee. Shannon Brennan appears on the confirmed general-election roster for this district (Ballotpedia general-election table, accessed October 25, 2026).
Pros: The Republican nominee in this race; Republicans and conservatives are in-tent under this publication's values (Constitution, capitalism and the free market, Christianity, freedom). Cons: No service record was verified at this sourcing depth — the candidacy is unproven, which is a watch posture, not a demerit. The flaw, plainly: None proven — unproven is not a flaw.
OUR CALL
We endorse Shannon Brennan (R) — as unproven, and on watch. Shannon Brennan is the Republican nominee; the Democratic alternative does not pass the Manchin test on any record located, and no proven flaw disqualifying the Republican was located. No extremist classification is made for any candidate here: no documented DSA membership, self-described democratic-socialist identification, or authored socialist program was located for any candidate on this ballot, and enabler is not extremist.
