Is anyone else getting tired of Mark Gordon trying to tell us what to do? Gov. Gordon appears to be on his latest power trip since he is declaring what the “facts” are and who we should vote for in 2024.

In the recent past, he used his office to sign on to the globalist agenda demanding that Wyoming join the climate-change cult he’s championing and by ordering Wyoming to obey COVID mandates in 2020. Is this what the people of Wyoming elected him to do?

2024 Fact Checker/Election Czar

To my knowledge, this is the first time in history a Wyoming governor is endorsing and funding a slate of candidates in a primary election.

How does this bode for the Constitutional Separation of Powers between the Legislative and Executive branches of Government when the Chief Executive is essentially unduly influencing those in the Legislative Branch?

On July 27, 2024, Mark Gordon texted his latest orders to Wyoming, telling people to “Trust but Verify” by taking on the role of “Fact Checker” this election cycle and sending people to factcheckwyoming.com.

In the text he tells us “Telling half-truths & outright lies doesn’t work for the good of the people of Wyoming.”

It’s too bad he didn’t take his own advice and tell the truth or fact check the China Virus and Climate Change hoaxes!

When you visit the website the governor touts in his text, there is extraordinarily little actual information, merely a list of his selected candidates.

Climate Change/Green New Deal

While Donald Trump and conservatives in Wyoming work toward energy and agricultural dominance - to the embarrassment of most of us, Gov. Gordon has declared war on plant food by implementing the Green New Deal in Wyoming and leading the effort to decarbonize the West.

He tells the world the essential building block of all life on planet earth, CO2, must be captured, sequestered, and neutralized for fear of the urgent crisis of climate change.

Taxpayers must sacrifice their hard-earned money to subsidize wind farms, solar farms, and carbon-capture projects, putting Wyoming legacy industries such as coal, oil, gas and agriculture out of business to satiate the governor’s obsession with climate change and CO2.

He lectures us about the “urgency” for Wyoming to become a “carbon negative” state (which is as impractical as it is impossible!), but after accepting a public challenge with preeminent scientific experts to debate the “facts,” he reneged.

He and the environmentalist Democrat western governors have their own agenda, and we and our industries must pay because he says so.

China Virus/Medical Decisions

The governor’s obsession with controlling medical decisions did not end with COVID.

Just ask Dr. Cubin, who in 2024 dared to oppose sexual lobotomies on children and because he did, was removed from his appointed position on the Wyoming Medical Board by Governor Gordon.

The evidence of Mark Gordon’s lust for power and allegiance to the globalist agenda, as well as to fellow globalists like Bill Gates, was first noticeable during the China Virus/COVID scam.

In 2020, Gordon used his office to promote propaganda and a rhetoric of fear to dictate the shuttering of businesses, closure of schools, mandates of masks and the COVID jab.

Elected officials who challenged him were met with force as he and his allies refused to defend Wyoming citizens and their rights.

He called those who disagreed with him “knuckleheads” and used his elected office to control the public and marginalize his opposition.

Business owners, employees, parents, students, teachers, and elected leaders have all been bullied by this Governor. 

Noticing A Trend Yet?

So, we are left to infer that the only fact that matters to the governor is what HE wants for Wyoming. He is not concerned about what we want for Wyoming, for our children or our grandchildren. 

Make no mistake, Mark Gordon is selling Wyoming to his elitist friends and the highest bidder. This election cycle, Wyoming must reject Mark Gordon and the Liz Cheney Republicans supporting him.

Sen. Cheri Steinmetz represents Senate District 3 and lives in Lingle.
