*Governor Gordon Receives Additional Complaints Regarding Weston County Clerk*

*CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Oct. 20,2025  *Governor Mark Gordon (R-WY) received complaints today from several qualified electors of Weston County alleging new acts of misconduct or malfeasance by the Weston County Clerk and requesting removal from office. Those filing complaints include Karen Drost, Stanley Jasinski, Susan Love, and Allen Slagle.

The complaints outline two new charges regarding the Weston County Clerk: Clerk Hadlock’s filing of a false post election audit following the 2024 General election and Clerk Hadlock’s refusal to comply with a legislative subpoena issued by the Management Audit Committee in violation of Wyoming law. 

In May the Governor determined that while Clerk Hadlock had made serious mistakes in the 2024 Weston County elections, her actions did not constitute “willful negligence” or “malicious intent.” One of the key elements to determining malfeasance is motive or willfulness. 

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.

Given the very serious nature of the potential consequences, which is the 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.
