Barrasso announces he will pursue re-election

CHEYENNE (WNE)  — U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., formally announced his intention to seek re-election to another six-year term on Wednesday.
Last month, Barrasso announced he will run for Republican Whip after Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he would not seek another term as the party’s Senate leader.
The Barrasso campaign released a video of his formal election announcement Wednesday, and the Republican senator took a moment to remember his wife, Bobbi, who died earlier this year from brain cancer.
“I want to thank you for the prayers and the kindness you’ve shown,” Barrasso said. “Bobbi loved this state and its people, as do I. I want to continue fighting for you, working for Wyoming and getting results.”
