Democratic -aligned groups contributed to get-out-the-vote efforts in Wyoming 's House District 33.

Incumbent Republican Sarah Penn is challenging Democrat Ivan Posey for the statehouse seat.

Posey would reflect the district demographic majority if he won.

Sen. Affie Ellis , a Navajo lawyer, will retire at the end of the year , leaving open the possibility of no Native representation.

Rep. Sarah Penn assumed office in 2023 after beating Democratic incumbent Andi Lebeau .

The district stretches over 100 miles from Dubois to the northern Red Desert .

The last time voters were asked to elect a representative, fewer than 2,000 votes were cast.

Aurelia Blackburn , 20 , organized the event with 19-year-old Kalijah Day .

Posey is Blackburn ’s grandfather, but she also wanted to help him because she admires his community-oriented spirit.

“I think he has a lot of support,” Blackburn said.
