Three finalists selected for House vacancy

From a Wyoming Democratic Party press release:

Monday night, the Democratic precinct committee men and women selected Gretchen Wheeler, Penny Miller and Mary Hales as our three finalists to fill the state House District 36 vacancy left by the recent resignation of Rep. Liz Gentile of Evansville. Now, those three names have been submitted to the Natrona County Commission, and the commissioners have five days to appoint one of them to fill the legislative seat. Apparently, they're planning to meet at 1 p.m. Monday, July 9, for the purpose of interviewing the candidates and making their appointment. Meanwhile, congratulations to our three excellent finalists, and let's hope that all three will remain active in the party (Mary, our state party secretary, has a great track record at that, as you well know) and considerrunning for office in the future.
