A new survey released by the Wyoming Women's Foundation shows there are 363 women running for city, county and state positions in Wyoming's general election.

Big Horn County has the highest number of female candidates at 44. Fremont is close behind with 41. Laramie County falls in the middle of the pack with 21 women running for office.

This is the first study of its kind so these numbers can't be compared to previous years.

The Wyoming Women's Foundation is a nonprofit group based in Laramie.
