Murray was widely seen as a probable candidate for governor of Wyoming in the 2018 Election,[1][2][3][4] but on January 23, 2018, Murray announced he would not seek reelection or run for higher office in 2018, stating he was putting family above politics, and following a number of sexual misconduct allegations.[5][6][7]
