The Wyoming Way: Neighbor Helping Neighbor
|
|
Tens of thousands of people across our state depend on federal food assistance to get by. When that support is interrupted—as can happen during shutdowns or funding lapses—our local communities step in.
Losing support overnight is frightening, especially for seniors, working parents, and veterans on fixed incomes. But it also reminds us of what keeps our state strong: the simple habit of looking out for each other.
Across Wyoming, food pantries and community groups are stepping up to meet growing needs. Their efforts remind us that generosity isn’t about policies, it’s about people. When one neighbor helps another, it strengthens the entire community.
If you’re able, donate to your local food bank; even a few dollars can go a long way in a small town. Volunteer to prepare meals or deliver groceries to families, seniors, and veterans facing food insecurity. Check in on your neighbors, especially those who live alone or may need a hand through the winter. Support the churches, 4-H clubs, and civic groups that quietly make Wyoming stronger every day.
When the federal system slows down, Wyoming’s spirit persists. We show up, feed a neighbor, lend a hand, and protect the land we call home.
That’s not politics. That’s Wyoming.

Barlow raises $350,000
in less than 3 months |
|
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.”

Eric Barlow Announces Candidacy for Governor of Wyoming
|
|
On August 12, 2025 Eric announced his candidacy for Wyoming Governor in Wright, WY.
If you missed it, you can watch his announcement speech here.
Surrounded by family, friends, and longtime supporters in Wright, Eric Barlow officially announced his candidacy for Governor of Wyoming today, launching a campaign focused on strong leadership, Wyoming values, and protecting the future of the state he calls home.
“I am here with you, friends and family, in Wright, to humbly announce my candidacy for Governor of Wyoming,” said Barlow. “I ask for your support as we embark on this vital journey for our state’s future.”
Barlow, who was born in Gillette and raised on the family ranch southwest of town, has spent his life in service to others—as a U.S. Marine, a veterinarian, a rancher, and a legislative leader. He has represented Campbell County in the Wyoming Legislature for over a decade, including serving as Speaker of the House and currently as a State Senator.
“I love Wyoming. I love her honest, hard-working people whose grit and independent spirit make our beloved state so great,” said Barlow. “Kelly and I have been blessed to raise our children, Kate and Graham, here. I want the next generations to have even greater opportunities and a future here in Wyoming.”
Throughout his public service, Barlow has championed issues critical to Wyoming’s future—supporting energy independence, reducing property taxes, improving access to healthcare, and defending local control and private property rights. He emphasized that his campaign will continue to reflect the values he has always brought to leadership. I am a leader who stands firmly on sound, conservative principles and who will fiercely defend your rights, including the Second Amendment and sanctity of life. As your next Governor, I will protect your private property rights, safeguard our public lands, and keep Washington, D.C. out of Wyoming’s business.”
“My approach has always been to listen, learn, and do the work,” said Barlow. “Wyoming deserves leaders who show up, who do the work, and who get results. That’s what I’ve done—and that’s exactly the kind of governor I will be.”
Acknowledging his campaign's early start, Barlow explained the importance of building a strong grassroots coalition: “We’re starting early so we can raise the resources needed to run a successful campaign, working against outside forces who don’t understand who we are but want to decide for us.”
Barlow’s campaign will focus on meeting voters where they are—at kitchen tables, county fairs, and community gatherings—offering a vision rooted in service, integrity, and action.
