Banks unopposed for House seat

Unlike many of his legislative colleagues around the state, incumbent Rep. Dalton Banks won’t be sweating out the results of Tuesday’s primary election.
Banks, of Cowley, is running unopposed for the Republican nomination to represent District 26 in the House of Representatives. And with no Democrats vying for the seat, he also has a clear path to locking up a second term in November.
In announcing his re-election bid, Banks touted his two years of on-the-job experience and the positive working relationships he’s formed with other lawmakers.
He has to this point refrained from aligning himself with the Wyoming and Freedom caucuses, believing that independence from both gives him leverage to negotiate the best deal for his constituents.
