Gordon: ''Wyoming Needs Eric Barlow"

The governor, in a news release on Monday, wrote the following

“I have known Eric Barlow as a friend, a legislator, and as the veterinarian I called to the ranch whenever we had important cattle work to do. I have not always agreed with him, but I know he will listen regardless of whether we agree. He will consider all points of view, think things through, act in a measured, committed, informed, and firmly resolved way and in accordance with his strongly-held conservative values - Wyoming values,” Gov. Gordon said. “Eric shows up early, stays until a job is done, and never shrugs off work saying ‘that’s not my job.’ When a blizzard shut down the Capitol a few sessions ago and a snowdrift formed above the newly remodeled House Chamber, Eric was the first to take off his suit coat, grab a shovel, crawl through the attic, and begin clearing the  snow before it melted. He didn’t wait for custodial staff, he didn’t wonder who would fix it; he rolled up his sleeves and started doing what needed to be done - clearing snow. That is the Eric I know, a leader, a doer and the one who has my most enthusiastic endorsement. Wyoming needs Eric Barlow now more than ever.”
