LiberalMind endorses Curt Meier
Election Day is November 3. State Treasurer Curt Meier, in office since 2019, is unopposed in November — in the Democratic primary no official Democratic candidate ran at all, though 1,219 write-in votes were cast. This is the short, honest article that fact deserves. LiberalMind endorses Curt Meier. Whether any certified write-in opponent exists is a check the research names as still owed against the Secretary of State's official roster, and we print that too.
How Wyoming got here
Meier is described in two independent reports as "unopposed in November" and "unopposed in November's general election" (WyoRoundup early-voting report; Wyoming Tribune Eagle, "Treasurer Curt Meier outlines three priorities for next term"). In the August Democratic primary, "no official Democrat candidate ran, but 1,219 write-in votes were cast" (Wyo4News primary-winners report). In the Republican primary Meier defeated Scott Smith (Associated General Contractors of Wyoming guide). No 2026 campaign-finance figures were located this pass; Wyoming files in the WYCFIS system, and none are printed without a pull.
Curt Meier (Republican) — the incumbent
Background and service: Treasurer since 2019; a former state senator from LaGrange with a farm/ranch background (Washington Times 2022 coverage; AGC guide) — proven, in his second term in the office.
His headline numbers, attributed as his office's own: Assets managed by the Treasurer's Office "have grown from approximately $20 billion to more than $35 billion" since he took office in 2019 (Wyoming Tribune Eagle, reporting his post-primary statement — figures as stated by the incumbent's office, reported without independent audit in this research, and printed as his claim). His stated priorities for the next term lead with a proposed Wyoming Generational Investment Fund, investing designated resources over a longer horizon; the report details two further priorities building on his tenure's work with the Legislature and fellow statewide officers — only the first was fully extracted in this research, and we do not summarize what was not read.
The prior-cycle exchange, labeled as prior-cycle: In 2022, primary challenger Bill Gallop charged that state investments under Meier lagged benchmarks; Meier answered the office had beaten its benchmarks (Washington Times 2022). That exchange is from the 2022 cycle; no 2026-cycle investment-performance dispute was located.
Pros: Two proven terms; a former legislator's knowledge of the state he invests for; a next-term program led by a named, debatable proposal (the Generational Investment Fund).
Cons: His headline asset-growth figure is his own office's number, unaudited in this research. An unopposed race gives voters no comparative file, and we do not manufacture one.
The flaw, plainly: No flaw proven in service in the current cycle was located. The 2022 benchmark exchange is printed at its date and no further.
