Governor Gordon to Review Complaint against Weston County Clerk
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – On December 19, 2024, Governor Gordon received a verified complaint from eight qualified electors of Weston County alleging acts of misconduct or malfeasance by the Weston County Clerk and requesting removal from office.
Following the mandated process set out in Wyoming statutes, the Governor’s Office will examine the verified complaint and conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether the allegations justify pursuing the requested statutory removal process. At the end of this investigation, the Governor will make a determination on the request, which will be forwarded to the complainants and the Weston County Clerk.
Given the very serious nature of the potential consequences involved, removal of an official duly elected by the voters of Weston County, preserving the objectivity and integrity of this process is crucial. Consequently, the Governor will have no comment on this investigation while it is ongoing, focusing instead on reviewing and determining relevant facts.
