His resignation was required under the Hatch Act of 1939.

In accordance with Wyoming state law, the Republican Party selected the three candidates from which Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal could make his selection.

On the third ballot, the Republican State Central Committee, by fourteen votes, eliminated Mead from consideration.

Fort Bridger rancher Ron Micheli finished third, with 27,592 votes; State House Speaker Colin M. Simpson finished fourth with 16,673 votes.

With Freudenthal not running for a third term, because of term limits, Mead was a heavy favorite in the general election; Wyoming is heavily Republican.
