Running for Office
Becoming a state representative means running in elections. People vote for who they want to represent them. Andi LeBeau ran for the District 33 seat in the Wyoming House of Representatives more than once.
First Try: The 2014 Election
In 2014, the representative for District 33, Patrick Goggles, decided to retire. This meant the seat was open. Andi LeBeau decided to run for it. She won the first round of voting, called the Democratic primary election. She received 68% of the votes. However, in the main election, called the general election, she lost by a small number of votes to Jim Allen. He was a Republican who had been a representative before.
Winning the Seat: The 2018 Election
Andi LeBeau decided to run for the same seat again in 2018. This time, she challenged Jim Allen, who was the current representative. She was the only person running in the Democratic primary election, so she won that easily. In the general election, she won against Jim Allen. She received 51% of the votes, which was just enough to win. She then served as the representative for District 33 from January 2019 to January 2023.
