Wyoming Democrats Delegates at the DNC -Part 1
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now)—Today, we examine the DNC and speak to a member of the Wyoming Democratic delegation and House Representative Mike Yin as Democrats gathered in Chicago this week.
Yin says that he’s heard a lot of “Equality State” ideals echoed at the DNC.
“You know, I think that there are Wyoming values that are really echoed. Freedom has been a top-line measure. We talk about the restrictions to personal freedoms that the abortion bans across many red states have accomplished in reducing the amount of actual health care accessible and reducing the number of doctors that actually serve the state,” said Yin.
Wyoming delegates cast their 17 votes for the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and VP Tim Walz at the DNC this week.
Yin says the group is there to represent the interests of the state.
Wyoming delegates participated in the rural council meetings and discussed their concerns about ensuring our communities survive and thrive.
We asked Yin about the critics who say that the people did not democratically vote for Harris.
Yin says that if the shoe were on the other foot, neither party would have chosen a special election for all 50 states in the limited time left before the election.
He says the event has energized attendees as we look toward November’s election season.
“I think people really have hope and energy that the Democratic party can actually bring people’s freedoms back that the republican party has taken away,” said Yin.

Former Wyoming Cowboys in the NFL: Week 16
LARAMIE — Marcus Epps hasn’t experienced the best injury luck over the last couple of seasons. After sustaining a season-ending knee injury a season ago, Epps has missed time this year with injury, as well.
That being said, when the former University of Wyoming safety is available, he produces. Sunday, with a lot at stake, was no different.
Epps had a pair of tackles in the Eagles’ 29-18 win at Washington. The victory clinched the NFC North Division crown.
For the season, Epps has recorded 12 tackles in 11 games played for 10-5 Philadelphia. The Eagles travel to Buffalo in Week 17.
Below is a list of all the former Wyoming Cowboys and how they performed in Week 16:
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (quarterback)
Allen got a little dinged up in the Bills’ 23-20 win at Cleveland. He was 12-for-19 for 130 yards, while adding 17 yards on seven carries via the ground. Allen sustained a foot injury during the game, but X-rays, fortunately, came back negative. For the season, Allen is 296-for-425 for 3,406 yards with 25 scores and 10 interceptions. On the ground, he’s carried it 105 times totaling 552 yards with a dozen touchdowns for 11-4 Buffalo, which clinched a playoff spot. The Bills host Philadelphia in Week 17.
Andrew Wingard, Jacksonville Jaguars (safety)
Wingard had a mild game in the Jaguars’ 34-20 win at Denver. He laid claim to one tackle. For the season, Wingard possesses 79 tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception, eight passes defended and one quarterback hit for 11-4 Jacksonville. The Jaguars travel to Indianapolis in Week 17.
Frank Crum, Denver Broncos (offensive line)
Crum participated in the Broncos’ 34-20 loss to Jacksonville. He played 15 snaps, four on offense and 11 on special teams. For the season, Crum has played 114 snaps, 48 on offense and 71 on special teams for 12-3 Denver. The Broncos travel to Kansas City on Christmas.
Logan Wilson, Dallas Cowboys (linebacker)
Wilson put forth his best game since joining the Cowboys mid-season. He registered five tackles in Dallas’ 34-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. For the season, Wilson has 62 tackles, four passes defended and one fumble recovery between his time in Cincinnati and now with the 6-8-1 Cowboys. Dallas travels to Washington in Week 17.
Carl Granderson, New Orleans Saints (defensive end)
Granderson boasted a good game in the Saints’ 29-6 win over the New York Jets. He made three tackles. For the season, Granderson owns 46 tackles, 4.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, three passes defended and six quarterback hits for 5-10 New Orleans. The Saints travel to Tennessee in Week 17.
Chad Muma, New England Patriots (linebacker)
Muma, who was signed by New England from Indianapolis’ practice squad, played in the Patriots’ 28-24 win at Baltimore. He didn’t record a stat. For the season, Muma has made five tackles in six games played between the Colts and now the 12-3 Patriots. New England travels to the New York Jets in Week 17.
Treyton Welch, New Orleans Saints (tight end)
