| Description | Days after being stripped of her power and relegated to a largely ceremonial and advisory post, Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Cindy Hill (R) entered the state's 2014 governor's race on Thursday.
Hill, a Tea Party favorite, made the decision to mount a likely challenge to Gov. Matt Mead (R), following Mead's decision on Tuesday to sign legislation removing Hill as the chief of the Wyoming Department of Education. Mead's action followed accusations by state legislators that Hill did not implement new education laws and had mismanaged the education agency. The new law gives the governor the power to appoint the head of the state Department of Education.
Hill has filed a lawsuit against Mead and legislators.
Hill told The Star-Tribune that she knew "in my heart" that she should run for governor. She continued to note that she does not cave into politically expedient decisions, which she played up in her recent battle with lawmakers over her duties. |
