State Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams, who chairs the conservative Wyoming Freedom Caucus, blasted Barlow in a statement that she emailed to Fox News Digital, claiming that he is not "conservative enough for" the state.
"If the last two election cycles in Wyoming have taught us anything, it's that Wyomingites want real, conservative leadership. Senator Barlow isn't conservative enough for Wyoming, and the Wyoming Freedom Caucus is confident that come 2026, the people will elect a true conservative for governor," she asserted, referring to Barlow as "a liberal Republican who loves big government."
