Wyoming PBS is partnering with Wyoming Public Radio - which will broadcast the debates live along with Wyoming PBS - the Casper Star-Tribune, the Wyoming Business Report, and the Cowboy State Free Press, an internet publication devoted to covering state government.

For purposes of political programming and election content to be produced by Wyoming PBS, the only absolute requirement to include a candidate is that a candidate must be legally qualified and must be certified by the Wyoming Secretary of State to appear on the statewide ballot for the office. While Wyoming PBS recognizes that it has the latitude to exclude candidates based upon criteria that would demonstrate statewide campaign efforts, it shall be Wyoming PBS policy to include all qualified candidates who will appear on a statewide ballot.
