James W. Byrd (born March 14, 1954) is an American politician and former Democratic member of the Wyoming House of Representatives, representing the 44th district from 2009 to 2019. His mother, Harriet Elizabeth Byrd previously held the same seat from 1980 to 1988, and was the first African-American to serve in the Wyoming State Legislature.[1] Byrd retired from his House of Representatives seat to run for Wyoming Secretary of State shortly after Republican incumbent Ed Murray resigned,[2] but lost the November 2018 election to Murray's successor Edward Buchanan.
