Although Clinton has scored endorsements from high-placed Wyoming Democrats, Pelkey, the lawmaker who supports Sanders, said voters shouldn’t take too much stock in the whole business of endorsements.

That said, he does endorse Sanders. He introduced him at a rally in Laramie that Sanders attended Tuesday night.

“Probably three, four months ago, I was coming back from a Judiciary Committee (meeting) and listening to the radio and they said Clinton had a 43 to 1 advantage in endorsements from elected officials,” he said. “And, you know, that kind of bothered me. I thought what the heck? I was going to vote for him. … I thought it was fair that I’ve been elected and if I supported that candidacy, I’d let it be known.”

Pelkey said he has no personal beef with the Democrats who endorse Clinton. He will support whichever candidate ultimately gets the party’s nomination. But he thinks his voice for Sanders is a counter to Democratic Party insiders “who decided they were going to crown the nominee. They did that even before people had the chance to vote.”
