From trib.com:
Republican Max Maxfield is happy to avoid a primary for secretary of state so he can promote his track record in Wyoming’s second most powerful office.
Andrew Simons, the sole Democrat in the Aug. 17 primary, is seizing the chance for a head start to promote his desire to open Wyoming’s ballot initiative process.
“Wyoming citizens don’t really have a check on government the way it is now,” said Simons, who wants to make it easier to put issues before voters.
The secretary of state is essentially a lieutenant governor who would step in should the governor become incapacitated.
