New York is really going full New York today.
Remembering when my friend @Swij2 grilled Cuomo about his own behavior toward women as governor.

Under fire, Cuomo ended the press conference. Had the Ithaca Times office rolling. One of the best interviews I've ever seen in-person. blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archiv…
I really don't know how I'm going to get anything done today, this is NUTS.

Interesting development from the usually mundane Management Audit Committee...

@ChuckForWyoming made a motion to draft a bill to give the #WYLeg the ability to audit elections.

It failed with just two in-favor, but I couldn't see who.

Debate here:
The proposal was this:

Right now, the Wyoming Department of Audit handles financial and performance audits, mostly. But they are under the executive branch.

Gray wanted to bring it into the Legislative branch and give it the ability to audit elections, citing AZ.
Counties already audit their own elections and, to-date, we have had just a handful of fraud cases in the last several decades.

But Gray has made "election integrity" a centerpiece of his Congressional campaign, building off his successful voter ID bill last year.

Catharine O'Neill -- rumored to be meeting with Trump in NJ last week as a potential challenger to Liz Cheney -- has popped up in one of Wyoming's largest conservative FB groups.

I haven't gotten a response to several inquiries, so this is the most I've seen.
She got a shout-out in Politico's Playbook last week, which is pretty much peak rumor mill. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
For all intents and purposes, I have been told by quite a few people she is serious about the ag business stuff, which was the prime focus of the coalition behind last week's fundraiser with Kristi Noem and Mark Gordon.

Former WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is headlining a fundraiser for the House Freedom Fund in Jackson Hole this Thursday with Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The House Freedom Caucus has been working to get Cheney stripped of all of her committees in recent weeks. Image
Don't know much about several of the organizers, but Dan and Carleen Brophy are major players in Wyoming politics.

Both are known for funding hardline conservative, anti-establishment Republicans in close primary races. trib.com/news/state-and…
Thanks to a Jackson resident in my DMs: The Kemmerers were high-profile guests at a Trump fundraiser in Jackson a few years ago, and have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Trump campaign. jhnewsandguide.com/news/election/…

As candidates are expected to head to New Jersey to meet with former President Trump this week, @ChuckForWyoming's campaign has released top-line numbers from a poll showing him as the primary bet to beat @Liz_Cheney in next year's primaries.

Some takeaways...
First, the pollster, John Mclaughlin, was previously enlisted to conduct a poll on behalf of Trump's super PAC. He has a fairly low lifetime rating of C/D, per FiveThirtyEight. That one previously found @AnthonyBouchard to be the favorite. trib.com/news/state-and…
Times have changed however. We have a lot of new candidates in the race. And lots of speculation about new challengers.

This one polled Ed Buchanan, who was being recruited by Club for Growth. wyofile.com/national-group…

It also polled @bobiteman, who is new to the rumor mill.

The spike returns. (Barrasso currently discussing BLM nominee Tracy Stone-Manning on the Senate floor.)

Barrasso is a trendsetter on this one it seems.

.@GovernorGordon, @CynthiaMLummis are fundraising for Kristi Noem at an event in Cheyenne next week.

An eyebrow raiser on the list: @cathponeill, who has been the subject of open speculation as a potential challenger to Liz Cheney.
It's an expensive fundraiser... read what you want. But attendee list is interesting. One -- Leah Juarez -- was a promising statehouse candidate in Casper last cycle.

She split half the vote in a three-way race to clear the way for the establishment pick. trib.com/news/state-and…
But O'Neill is interesting. She was relatively unknown in Wyoming during her time in the Trump admin. Was spotted working the camera at the Matt Gaetz anti-Cheney event this winter. Recently bought property in the state, and has been meeting with people who know a thing or two.
