There is real energy behind Eric Barlow’s campaign for governor, which continues to grow across Wyoming—from kitchen tables and parade routes to shop floors and main streets.
In less than three months since launching his campaign, nearly 350 Wyomingites from all regions of the state and walks of life have stepped up to donate—more than 80 in the last week alone—raising nearly $350,000 to date. These honest, hardworking people have come together in support of Barlow’s vision for steady leadership, local control, and Wyoming-based solutions that reflect the state’s values of freedom, community, and respect for the land.
In addition to the strong grassroots financial performance, the campaign has rapidly expanded its statewide presence as friends and neighbors host meet-and-greets, organize events, and share Barlow’s message in their hometowns. The campaign has already:
- Visited 18 counties and 31 communities across Wyoming—from small ranching towns to growing energy hubs—listening and learning directly from local residents about their priorities.
- Participated in or hosted more than 120 campaign events across the state, including local business tours, parades, and community forums focused on Wyoming’s future.
- Welcomed more than 550 volunteers eager to help share the campaign’s message in their communities, both in person and online.
What Eric, Kelly, and the campaign team are hearing across Wyoming includes a desire for steady, respectful leadership that prioritizes local control and always puts Wyoming first—not outside wish lists or fear tactics.
“These milestones underscore a campaign built on authentic connections and steady, Wyoming-driven leadership,” Barlow said. “Our campaign is rooted in Wyoming values—hard work, honesty, and community. The strong and growing support we see across the state shows that people want a governor who listens, learns, and leads with Wyoming’s best interests at heart.”
The campaign credits its early success to a mix of in-person events, grassroots outreach, and a strong digital presence—which gets accomplished despite Eric’s flip phone. New strategies will soon roll out, engaging even more citizens across the state.
“Wyomingites want a leader who understands our opportunities and challenges firsthand, from energy and agriculture to education and healthcare,” Barlow added. “I’m humbled by the trust people are placing in me, and I’ll keep working to earn it every day.”
