Two Wyoming residents demand probes into possible lobbying and bribery after conservative activist Rebecca Bextel was caught handing checks to lawmakers in Feb. 2026.
Two Wyoming residents have urged investigations into potential lobbying and campaign finance violations after conservative activist Rebecca Bextel was photographed handing checks to state lawmakers in February 2026, an incident known as “Checkgate.” Stephanie Kessler and Michelle St. Louis requested probes into whether Bextel, who runs the for-profit group Eyes on Wyoming, engaged in unregistered lobbying by advocating for policy positions and hosting legislative events.
While the House ethics committee found no rules were broken, it called the check-passing behavior “undesirable.” The Laramie County Sheriff’s Office is investigating possible bribery, but other state agencies have not publicly responded to the complaints.
The attorney general’s office has not confirmed whether it is reviewing the claims.
