Crushed in governor’s race, Bextel may be in hot water in Jackson over ‘15 illegal chickens’

JACKSON — Rebecca Bextel apparently has 15 “illegal chickens.” That’s what the East Jacksonite and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate told conservative commentator Tucker Carlson during a chummy conclusion to her appearance on Carlson’s show Oct. 24. Bextel also questioned the moon landing and made other false or misleading statements in the wide-ranging, pre-election interview. “The governor’s mansion is going to turn into a hen house,” Bextel told Carlson. Bextel, running for the Equality State’s top elected office on the Constitution Party ticket, was defeated in the general election. The Associated Press called the race at 7 p.m., the minute polls closed. Bextel had earned a little less than 17% of the statewide vote. Chicken-rearing is, indeed, illegal within town limits, although the Jackson Town Council tangled over allowing the practice in 2024. Jackson Mayor Arne Jorgensen said he found Bextel’s comments troubling. “Rebecca ... backs up against the U.S. Forest Service. She lives in the area that is the highest risk for a wildlife engagement,” Jorgensen said. “For her to be so flippant about that is highly concerning.” Whether the town will enforce its regulations against Bextel’s birds remains to be seen. The Jackson Police Department is tasked with enforcing the

A Jackson Hole Estate With 43 Acres of Snake River Frontage Lists for $37.5 Million

Many homes along the Snake River in Jackson Hole sit low in the forest along the winding riverbank, where thick greenery offers plenty of privacy but can also block views. Drift House takes a different approach. Instead of putting the main living spaces on the ground floor, they’re upstairs, above the trees, where the owners can look out across the property’s five ponds to the Snake River and the Teton Range. Rimac Will Wind Down Production of Its Electric Nevera Hypercar by Year's End Designed by local architect Vince Lee, the roughly 8,000-square-foot main residence was built in 1999 with its living and dining rooms, kitchen, and primary suite all on the upper level. The living and dining rooms share a two-way fireplace. Large windows bring the landscape into the home, while a spacious deck offers another vantage from which to enjoy the sweeping views. It’s a clever bit of planning that makes the most of the property’s position along the river.
