Gordon beat Democrat Theresa Livingston, a retired educator and U.S. Bureau of Land Management employee.
Gordon emphasized his efforts to diversify Wyoming’s economy away from fossil fuels, mentioning ongoing work to develop new uses for coal and an unconventional nuclear reactor.
He won despite criticism from fellow Republicans for closing off businesses and public places during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
His pandemic response drew calls for a Republican to challenge him.
One often-mentioned opponent, Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman, ran for U.S. House instead, beating Liz Cheney in the Republican primary.
