Barlow was running far ahead of his two main rivals for the nomination to serve as the state's top executive Barlow is a Gillette veterinarian and a former speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives. He is currently serving in the Wyoming Senate.

His two main rivals were State Superintendent Megan Degenfelder and Former Marine Corps Officer Brent Bien, who were battling for second place but were running well behind.
