Lieutenant Travis Bingham Announces Candidacy for Sublette County Sheriff in 2026.
Sublette County, Wyo — Lieutenant Travis Bingham officially announces his candidacy for Sublette County Sheriff in the 2026 election. Bingham steps forward with strong community ties, a broad foundation of law enforcement experience, and the full endorsement of Sheriff Lehr.
A lifelong resident of Sublette County, Bingham will bring 20 years of Wyoming law enforcement experience to the ballot in 2026. He is certified in Detention, Communications, and as a Peace Officer, having served in nearly every operational division of the Sheriff’s Office throughout his career.
In addition to his leadership role as a lieutenant, Bingham has served as the department’s Public Information Officer (PIO) for several years—acting as the agency’s voice during wildfires, major investigations, weather events, search and rescue efforts, and high-profile emergencies. His dedication to transparent, timely communication has built lasting trust with the public and media alike. He also founded and leads the Sublette County drone program, which has become an essential asset for search operations, crash reconstruction, and crime scene documentation.
“Over the last 20 years, I have gained the skills, and my experience reflects the full scope of what it takes to lead this agency, including patrol, detention, communications, emergency response, and public trust,” Bingham said. “Sublette County is my home, and I am committed to leading with integrity, professionalism, and a deep respect for the people we serve.”
Current Sheriff KC Lehr is not seeking re-election after a decade of dedicated leadership. “I’m honored to have his support as I take this next step,” Sheriff Lehr has led this office through a time of growth and modernization with steady, thoughtful leadership,” Bingham said. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked closely with him and honored to have his support as I take this next step.”
In endorsing Bingham, Sheriff KC Lehr stated:
“I and many other Sheriff’s Office employees have had the opportunity to work with and watch current Lieutenant Travis Bingham advance himself and this Office. Throughout his career, Travis has taken on many additional roles; from public information officer, IT tech, and jail administrator. He has proven himself by working for multiple divisions within the Office. This experience, his leadership, and vision for the future are the reasons that allow me to place complete trust in his abilities. I would ask that you help me support Travis Bingham in his future endeavors to become the next Sheriff of Sublette County.”
Lieutenant. Bingham will formally file for candidacy in early 2026. His campaign website and social media platforms will be live this week and will continue to share updates, platform priorities, and opportunities to engage.
