CHEYENNE, WYOMING (AP) - Cynthia Lummis has won the Republican primary for Wyoming's seat in the U.S. House. Unofficial results show the former state treasurer beating Johnson County businessman and rancher Mark Gordon 46% to 38%, with 96% of precincts reporting.

Retired Navy officer Bill Winney had 12% while Michael Holland, a physician from Green River, had 4%. The win means Lummis will challenge Wilson businessman Gary Trauner in the November election.

Trauner was unopposed in claiming the Democratic nomination. Incumbent Republican Rep. Barbara Cubin is not seeking an eighth term.
