TORRINGTON – Russell ‘Pinky’ Walter’s position on the Goshen County Board of Commissioners is shaping up to be one of the most hotly-contested local seats up for grabs this election season. Walter has vowed to run for the seat, which he was appointed to in 2019, and the field of challengers grew to three this week.
Cecil Sauer threw his hat in the ring last week, joining Justin Burkart and Aaron Nab. Sauer interviewed for the seat last year when Walter was appointed, and unsuccessfully ran for a spot on the Eastern Wyoming College Board of Trustees in 2018.
The Goshen County Primary Election is scheduled for Aug. 18. Countys Republicans will pick one of the candidates to send to the general election in November.
According to Sauer’s campaign page on Facebook, he’s a “Christian Conservative Republican who believes in the Bible and the Constitution. I believe in small government and big freedom. When our budget does not balance, we need less government – not more taxes.”
