After years of leaning Democrat, Sweetwater is showing signs of swinging to the right as races for both Sweetwater County Assessor and the two available Sweetwater County Commissioners seats are races featuring candidates from both parties. Also, at the state level, there are a two state representative races taking place within Rock Springs featuring members of both parties. For Clark Stith, chairman of the Sweetwater County Republican Party, the increased Republican activity is blessing. According to Dale Davis, Sweetwater County Clerk, Sweetwater County does have more Republican voters than Democrats, with nearly 47 percent of voters registered as Republicans while nearly 43 percent are Democrats. This contrasts to 2000, when nearly 60 percent of Sweetwater County’s voters were Democrats.
