Citizenship Test Answers for Wyoming
Four of the 128 civics questions depend on where you live. Here is how to answer them if you live in Wyoming.
62. What is the capital of your state?
Answer for Wyoming
Cheyenne
This is the one state-specific answer that does not change. The three below change with elections. Every name on this page is checked each night against the congressional record and, for governors, two independent public records, and a name is left out rather than printed when the sources disagree.
23. Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now?
Answer for Wyoming now
- Cynthia M. Lummis
- John Barrasso
You only need to give one of these names.
Wyoming has two U.S. senators, like every state. You only need to name one of them. Senators are elected to six-year terms, so this answer changes; give the name of a senator serving on the day of your interview.
Look up Wyoming's senators at senate.gov
29. Name your U.S. representative.
Answer for Wyoming now
Harriet M. Hageman
Wyoming has a single at-large seat, so everyone in the state has the same representative.
Find your representative at house.gov
Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.
61. Who is the governor of your state now?
Answer for Wyoming now
Mark Gordon
Governors are elected and change, so answer with whoever is serving on the day of your
interview. Your state government's official .gov website is the reliable
place to check.
Background on Wyoming
Cheyenne is Wyoming's capital and its largest city, which stands out only because this is the least populous state in the country: fewer people live in all of Wyoming than in many single cities. Wyoming became the 44th state in 1890, and it entered with something no other state had — women could vote here, a right its territorial legislature granted in 1869, half a century before the Nineteenth Amendment. That makes it a useful marker for the question about when women got the right to vote nationally. It has a single at-large congressional district and 3 electoral votes, the constitutional minimum, so a vote here carries more electoral weight per person than anywhere else.
This background section is written by US Citizenship Test Practice. It is not part of the USCIS question list, and it names no senator, representative or governor itself: those names change with elections, so they appear only in the answers above, which are checked every night.
