Our Constitutional Ranking for Thayer will be determined after 2025 General Session. Meanwhile, data is currently being posted under her Integrity tab.
Pamela Thayer was elected in 2024 as House Representative for District 15 in Carbon and Sweetwater Counties. She replaced Donald Burkhart who did not seek re-election.
She is up for reelection in 2026.
“Because the state cannot grant money directly to business owners, Thayer envisioned a sweeping façade project whereby the city would seek temporary short-term easements from downtown property owners to temporarily own the front three feet of their storefronts. Doing so would allow the state to grant money to the city to spruce up the properties. And after a few years, the easements would expire, returning the storefronts back to the property owners.”

Conflicts
Because of her employment as Rawlins Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Pamela Thayer has a conflict of interest from voting on any bills that benefit the Wyoming Business Council (WBC). The Rawlins Downtown Development Authority is part of the Wyoming Main Street program. The Wyoming Main Street program was created by WY State Statutes 9-12-1101 to 9-12-1105. According to the Wyoming Business Council, the Wyoming Main Street program is *a coordinating program of Main Street America and the Wyoming Business Council. (On a national level, Main Street America is tied to the National Trust of Historic Preservation.) The Wyoming Business Council is a corporate agency of the State of Wyoming (created by WY State Statutes Title 9, Article 12) that oversees economic development, and thus receives and awards an extensive amount of money.
Thayer also serves as the Chair of the Services Standing Committee for the WBC. Below is a table of travel reimbursements that she has received from the Wyoming Business Council since 2020:
