Mark Gordon (born March 14, 1957) is an American politician serving as the 33rd governor of Wyoming since January 7, 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as state treasurer; then-governor Matt Mead appointed him to that position on October 26, 2012, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Joseph Meyer.

Early life and education

Gordon was born in New York City, the son of Catherine (née Andrews) and Crawford Gordon. Gordon’s father grew up on Drumlin Farm, in Lincoln, Massachusetts. His parents married on October 27, 1945, at the First Unitarian Church of Kennebunk, Maine, before settling at their ranch in Kaycee, Wyoming, in 1947.{{Cite web|title= Crawford Gordon Obituary| website=Legacy.com |url=https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/wickedlocal-concordjournal/name/crawford-gordon-obituary?id=9446172 |access-date=2022-11-16|language=en-US}}

Gordon’s paternal grandmother was the philanthropist Louise Ayer Hatheway. His paternal great-grandfather was the industrialist and mill magnate Frederick Ayer, founder of the American Woolen Company, and younger brother of the patent medicine tycoon James Cook Ayer, both of Lowell, Massachusetts.

He is a nephew of the socialite Jean Gordon. Gordon is also a great-nephew by marriage of General George S. Patton, and a first cousin once removed of General George Patton IV.{{Cite web|date=December 8, 1945|title=Harvard Alumni Bulletin|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jEznAAAAMAAJ&q=%22On+October+27,+Crawford+Gordon+was+married+to+Miss+Catherine%22|access-date=December 8, 2020|via=Google Books}}{{Cite web|title=Mark Gordon|url=https://www.nga.org/governor/mark-gordon/|access-date=2021-05-29|website=National Governors Association}} He was raised on his family's ranch in Johnson County, Wyoming.

Career

{{Main|2008 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming}}

In 2008, Gordon was an unsuccessful candidate in the Republican primary for the United States House of Representatives for Wyoming's at-large congressional district seat held by Barbara Cubin, who was retiring. His main opponent was Cynthia Lummis, also a former state treasurer and the wife of a Democratic former state representative, Alvin Wiederspahn.{{cite news|url=http://www.wyomingnews.com/articles/2012/10/27/news/01top_10-27-12.txt|title=Trevor Brown, "Mead selects treasurer"|newspaper=Wyoming Tribune Eagle|date=October 27, 2012|access-date=October 30, 2012}} Former U.S. senator Alan K. Simpson of Cody, considered a moderate Republican, defended Gordon's candidacy but stopped short of an outright endorsement because he was also friendly with Lummis. Former U.S. senator Malcolm Wallop endorsed Gordon, as did the late Joseph B. Meyer, who was serving as state treasurer at the time.{{cite web|url=https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/post/sen-wallop-endorses-mark-gordon|title=Sen.

In November 2020, Gordon proposed $500 million in cuts to the Wyoming budget to account for declining revenue from the fossil fuel industry (particularly coal mining), which is crucial to Wyoming's economy.{{cite web |title=Wyoming governor announces additional $500M in budget cuts |url=https://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/wyoming-governor-announces-additional-500m-in-budget-cuts/article_d295726b-b8ad-5564-8d17-c0bd11d64e2d.html |website=Casper Star Tribune |date=November 16, 2020 |access-date=March 8, 2021}} On April 2, 2021, he signed a budget passed by the Wyoming legislature that cut $430 million instead of the $500 million Gordon proposed,{{cite web |last1=Erickson |first1=Camille |title=Wyoming governor signs supplemental budget passed by Legislature |url=https://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/wyoming-governor-signs-supplemental-budget-passed-by-legislature/article_ccea5800-e86f-5a9f-9a07-f0d404ae06ce.html |website=Casper Star Tribune |date=April 2021 |access-date=April 6, 2021}} due to improved budget forecasts for the year of 2021 and supplemental money from the American Rescue Plan Act{{cite web |last1=Reynolds |first1=Nick |title=With help of federal relief, legislature finds budget consensus |url=https://www.wyofile.com/with-help-of-federal-relief-legislature-finds-budget-consensus/ |website=Wyofile |date=March 29, 2021 |access-date=April 6, 2021}} signed by President Biden. The budget Gordon signed decreases the amount cut to the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Department of Health.

In 2021, a New York Times investigation revealed that Gordon had been targeted by hard-right conservatives, such as Susan Gore, the heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune.

Personal life

Gordon met his first wife, the former Sarah Hildreth Gilmore, at Middlebury College.

In 1993, she died in an automobile accident.{{cite web|title=Sarah Hildreth Gordon|url=https://www.geni.com/people/Sarah-Hildreth-Gordon/1869026|access-date=February 16, 2019|website=geni_family_tree|date=May 23, 2018 }} They had two daughters.

In 1998 Gordon met his current wife, the former Jennie Muir Young, and they married in 2000. Together they own the Merlin Ranch east of Buffalo in Johnson County, Wyoming. In 2009, their ranch received the Society for Range Management Wyoming Section "Excellence in Rangeland Stewardship" award.{{cite web|title=Merlin Ranch sponsors Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt - Wyoming Women's Antelope Hunt|url=http://wyomingwomensantelopehunt.org/media/merlin-ranch-sponsors-wyoming-womens-antelope-hunt/|access-date=February 16, 2019}}
