Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal says he will NOT challenge the state's term limit law and will not seek a third term. The 59-year-old governor and former U-S Attorney says not running again is the right decision for him, his wife Nancy Freudenthal and for the state.
Nancy Freudenthal is awaiting confirmation by the U.S. Senate on President Obama's nomination of her for an open federal judgeship in Cheyenne.
Other portions of the Wyoming law barring statewide elected officers from 3 consecutive terms have already been overturned by the courts, and many felt he would have been successful had he challenged it.
Several prominent Wyoming Republicans have announced that they will seek their party's nomination to run for governor this fall. No Democrats have announced yet that they will run.
