The following is a release from the office of Governor Mark Gordon – 

• Sets Agenda with Cabinet for the Remainder of His Administration

“We have just come off a solid legislative win, securing the Essentials Budget to help meet the needs of the people of Wyoming, but we are not done yet.”

Governor Mark Gordon (R-WY) met recently with the full Cabinet to outline his agenda for the rest of his final term in office. The agenda focuses on continuing to build a strong future for Wyoming and delivering on the priorities that matter most to Wyoming families.

The Governor’s focus remains on essential pillars like supporting core industries, growing Wyoming’s economy, strengthening local communities and families, and safeguarding Wyoming’s vital natural resources.

“We are going to run through the tape strong,” Governor Gordon said. “We have just come off a solid legislative win, securing the Essentials Budget to help meet the needs of the people of Wyoming, but we are not done yet.”

Governor Gordon will embark on a series of community visits across Wyoming commencing in June continuing through the fall. Hallmark throughout his tenure, the Governor will engage directly with citizens during these community visits that will include tours of downtown storefronts, public forums held in parks, and other events as planned.

Ahead of the crucial August 18 primary election, Governor Gordon will meet with citizens to talk about continuing to build a strong future for Wyoming. The Governor looks forward to discussing the value of a continued focus on the essentials and the steps needed to benefit the Cowboy State. Those steps include protecting our resilient property tax base that funds local services like education, fire protection, police services and others, as well as honoring local control, investing in our future through smart saving and continued stewardship of our wildlife, land, and water.

“You don’t have to be Governor to make a difference in Wyoming,” Governor Gordon said. “Participating in elections is something all of us can do to make a real difference, and these conversations are important to have to ensure everyone makes informed decisions about the future of Wyoming.”

The Governor today also premiered the fifth and final video in The Essentials Budget series, highlighting that authentic Wyoming succeeds when we stay disciplined, locally grounded and focused on our real priorities, not political noise.

Details for all events will be posted on the Governor’s official website.

“I will be out across this state talking about how to strengthen Wyoming,” Governor Gordon said. “Jennie and I are honored to serve this state, and will continue to do so.”

Through the end of his administration, Governor Gordon will continue working with the Legislature, local communities, and citizens across the state to ensure Wyoming remains strong, resilient, and built for the future.
