Candidates for Wyoming Governor 2010

I have been learning a little about the candidates who are running for the Governor of Wyoming this November.  They have a lot of similarities begining with the fact that there are no Democrates running, making all four of them Republicans.  I have not seen much wrong about any of their viewpoints.  Those running are Reta Meyer, Ron Micheli, Matt Mead, and Colin Simpson.

Reta Meyer (R)-  She grew up with very little and learned how to work hard.  Her academic accomplishments include: two undergraduate degrees from the University of Wyoming, a B.A. in Education and a B.S. in Finance. She also has a MBA in International Business from Regis University, and a Master's in National Resource Strategy from National Defense University in Washington, D.C.  She has served as Wyoming State Auditor since 2006.  Her main emphasis is that she is qualified to help put Wyoming's economy back to what it should be.

He has eight kids and twenty-one grandkids.  Ron graduated from Mountain View High School in 1966 and received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wyoming in 1970 with a degree in Animal Science.He spent 16 years in the Wyoming House of Representatives.  While their he held various leadership positions including Majority Floor Leader, Speaker Pro Tempore, and Majority Whip.  Ron served in the cabinet of Governor Jim Geringer as the Director of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture from 1995-2003. His main emphasis is that if he becomes governor he will sue the fedral government over the health care bill.
