April 14, 2022 — Republican Island Richards announced today that he would be pursuing a seat on the Sweetwater Board of County Commissioners during this year’s election. “I’m excited to get into this race. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while now, and I think this is the right time to get involved,” Richards said in a press release sent to Wyo4News.

“The current members of the Sweetwater County Commission are all intelligent and capable individuals,” stated Richards, “but something isn’t working with the current makeup of the board. I hope I can bring a different dynamic to the group and work with them to really dig down and find solutions to the problems facing Sweetwater County.”
