In Cheyenne, Patrick Collins was re-elected mayor by a comfortable margin. The primary election received some attention due to the candidacy of libertarian Victor Miller, who pledged to make many of the city's decisions via an AI chatbot based on ChatGPT called VIC.[4] Initially, VIC was to be listed on the ballot, but Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray ordered Miller's name to be placed instead, calling the chatbot's candidacy "unprecedented and very disturbing."[5]
