CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - The Natrona County Commission has appointed a Casper businessman to represent House District 35.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/2hPGeJi ) that Joe MacGuire was selected to replace Rep. Kendell Kroeker on Tuesday. Kroeker, a Republican from Evansville, announced his resignation last month.
Commissioners say they chose MacGuire for the job because of his knowledge about current issues facing the state, including the budget and local government funding.
MacGuire says he’s heading to Cheyenne on Wednesday to be sworn into the Legislature and prepare for the general session, which begins Tuesday.
The 54-year-old MacGuire works as a business broker and has served on the county GOP executive committee for seven years.
His mother, Mary MacGuire, served in the Wyoming Senate as a Republican from Casper in 1993 and 1994.
