Proof of citizenship to vote. Voter ID. Closed primaries. A nine-month crusade to kill a woke wind project backed by foreign money. Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has done it all — and now he's running for Congress. This episode of The Jenny Beth Show gives you the full record of the America First candidate leading the polls in Wyoming's open House race. Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Gray to cover every front of his fight: the four-year battle to pass voter ID in Wyoming, the governor's veto on the very same day as President Trump's Mar-a-Lago SAVE America Act press conference, and how Wyoming became the first state in the nation to require proof of citizenship to register to vote in all races. Gray explains how that fight translates directly to federal legislation — and why the SAVE America Act, stalled in the Senate, must be President Trump's number one priority in the next Congress. Also on the table: banning ranked choice voting and Zuck Bucks, the Make Elections Great Again Act, the SAVE database citizenship crosscheck on public benefits, his plan to open coal export markets blocked by West Coast states, building the border wall, banning congressional stock trading, and the crowded Wyoming primary where 20 percent of the electorate was once Democrats crossing over. This is what it looks like when a conservative actually walks the walk — not just talks about it. Chuck Gray has the receipts. Learn more at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.

Chuck Gray is the Secretary of State of Wyoming and a candidate for Wyoming's at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. A six-year Wyoming state legislator turned statewide executive official, Gray serves as Secretary of State — a role that carries the duties of Lieutenant Governor. He was the lead sponsor of Wyoming's voter ID law (passed 2021) and led the fight to make Wyoming the first state in the nation to require proof of citizenship for voter registration in all races (passed 2025 over a gubernatorial veto). He testified before the U.S. House Administration Committee in February 2026 on federal election integrity legislation and is currently leading in early polling in the Republican primary for Wyoming's only congressional seat.
