Candidate Meyer releases campaign finance information LARAMIE, WYO. (wpr) - As promised, Republican candidate for Governor Rita Meyer has disclosed her campaign finance receipts. They show that Meyer has raised over $300,000 in donations, with most of that coming from individuals. However, Meyer has received almost $50,000 from political action committees. She is the only candidate to release information about campaign finances prior to the August deadline.

In a prepared statement, she said her administration will be built on transparency. "The people of Wyoming are fed up with the backroom deals and secrecy in government they've seen coming out of Washington, D.C. In Wyoming we do things differently, and I strongly believe that Wyoming voters have the right to know who they are electing."

Meyer says 77% of her fundraising has come from individual donors, something she says is humbling.
