Governor Gordon Announces Coronavirus Task Forces

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, at a news conference Monday, announced the creation of five coronavirus task forces. Governor Gordon says that each of the task forces will be headed by one of the five top-elected officials.

The Governor said that each task force will meet as long as needed and issue recommendations on best practices to address the multifaceted challenges that Wyoming is likely to face in the weeks and months to come.

The Governor’s office will coordinate the health task force while Secretary of State Ed Buchanan will head the task force focused on state services and operations; Auditor Kristi Racines will lead the task force focused on business and the financial sector; Treasurer Curt Meier will lead the transportation and infrastructure task force; and Superintendent Jillian Balow will lead the education task force. All task force heads will report to Governor Gordon for final coordination.
