Lummis leads in primary poll LARAMIE, WYO. (wpr) - A new poll shows that former state treasurer Cynthia Lummis is heavily favored to win the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives.

And now there's one fewer name on the ballot for Lummis to worry about. G-O-P coordinator Tom Sansonetti announced today he will not run.

He says he wants a break after planning the state's county conventions in January and volunteering for Wyoming's vacant seat in the U-S Senate last summer.

"Time for a break, and time to spend some time with family," Sansonetti says. "And frankly, my law practice could use so more attention. So that's what I am going to be doing."

Meantime, a Casper Star Tribune poll shows 40 percent of Wyoming Republicans would vote for Cynthia Lummis if the primary were held now.
