From 1985 to 1988 Wynne represented the 91st district of the Arkansas House of Representatives, comprising parts of Dallas, Cleveland, and Lincoln counties.[3] From 1989 to 1998 Wynne was a deputy prosecuting attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial District of Arkansas, the jurisdiction including Dallas County.
