Former GOP chair disbarred
The Albany County Republican Party’s former chairman, Michael Pearce, was disbarred by the Wyoming Supreme Court on Wednesday after a state panel governing attorneys found that Pearce had engaged in “dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation that seriously adversely reflects on” his fitness to practice law.
Pearce was previously suspended from practicing law in 2019 after failing to meet court deadlines and failing to comply with court rules and orders in two separate cases.
Pearce was charged with assault and battery after reportedly inciting a fight while drunk at the Wyoming Republican Party Convention last month in Gillette. The fight left Pearce with a broken ankle — which resulted in the surgery — a dislocated shoulder, and bruising on his neck and face.
Shortly after, Pearce resigned as chairman of the local party. Under the party’s bylaws, vice chair John Holtz took the helm in early July.
