Governor calls on citizens to work together to build the state’s future in Second Inaugural Address

Governor Gordon, along with Secretary of State Chuck Gray, Auditor Kristi Racines, Treasurer Curt Meier, and Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder, was sworn in by Wyoming Chief Justice Kate Fox on January 2 in the Capitol Rotunda. During his Second Inaugural Address, the Governor spoke of the importance of education and economic diversification. He called on citizens to advocate for, and protect, Wyoming values and encouraged engaging with others holding differing views.

“The undeniable fact is that our founders did not leave us a fire-and-forget, plug-and-play government,” Governor Gordon said. “Our government requires participation and effort and compromise. We must work together to begin this next chapter.”
