Following a legislator’s work during the session is one of the best ways to know how well they are representing you, their constituent, and their positions.

Beginning in 1988, each of the state’s five elected officials and each member of the Wyoming legislature is required to file a financial disclosure form with the Secretary of State. Ethics reports are due by January 31st of each year. This information is available from the Secretary of State’s Office through a records request. Starting in 2017, WyoFile has obtained and published the financial disclosure forms online: 2017 Forms, 2018 Forms.
