Stephen Watt (born January 8, 1956 in Newcastle, Wyoming) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Wyoming House of Representatives representing District 17 since January 8, 2013. Watt previously served two non-consecutive terms between 2001 and 2003, and 2005 and 2007 in the District 16 and District 17 seats. Watt was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Wyoming in 2002.
Watt attended Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska.
When Democratic Representative Kenilynn Zanetti retired and left the District 16 seat open, Watt was unopposed for the August 22, 2000 Republican Primary, winning with 500 votes, and won the November 7, 2000 General election with 1,166 votes (51.7%) against Democratic nominee Larry Levitt.
When incumbent Republican Governor of Wyoming Jim Geringer was term limited from seeking a third term, Watt ran in the five-way August 20, 2002 Republican Primary, but lost to Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives Eli Bebout. The primary runner-up was Ray Hunkins, a rancher and lawyer from Wheatland. Bebout then lost the general election to Democratic former United States Attorney Dave Freudenthal.
When Republican Representative and former Speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives Fred Parady retired, Watt ran unopposed for the August 17, 2004 Republican Primary, winning with 547 votes, won the November 2, 2004 General election by 85 votes with 1,540 votes (51.4%) against Democratic nominee Stephen Shea.
