Notes

  1. ^ Gordon is term-limited and ineligible to seek a third consecutive term in 2026. However, he has not ruled out the possibility of challenging Wyoming's term-limits law in court. The Wyoming Supreme Court previously ruled that the law was unconstitutional for elections to the Wyoming State Legislature.
