2006 Budget Session The Wyoming LAP* Book seeks to provide you information that will assist you in following the work of and evaluating your legislators by providing you:
The 1992 legislative reapportionment resulted in a "nested" system of legislative districts. Wyoming was divided into 30 Senate districts, approximately equal in population as of the 1990 census. Each Senate district was then split into two House of Representatives districts, for a total of 90 legislators. This system was retained by the process of "redistricting of the legislature" during the 2002 Session. Throughout The Wyoming LAP* Book, each "nest" of a Senate district and its two House districts has been kept together, so that when you locate your Senator, one of the two Representatives who follow is also yours. In the legislative profiles showing campaign contributions, legislators are grouped by geographic area. The Senator is listed first, followed by the two House members whose districts comprise the Senate district. If in doubt about which Senate and House districts you live in, contact your county clerk, who has all the maps and district information.
