Wyoming's gubernatorial candidates
Gordon is approaching the end of his first term in office after being elected in 2018. Prior to his time as governor, Gordon served as the state's treasurer under Republican Gov. Matt Mead.
Livingston, Gordon's Democratic challenger, is a veteran who served in the Air Force for nearly a decade. She's the only veteran gubernatorial candidate who is a woman, and the sole Air Force veteran among this year's gubernatorial candidates with military experience.
She's running on a platform focused on women's rights, healthcare, and the economy, in that order.
