Mary Throne in Past and present Governor candidates from Wyoming


On Gun Control: Pro-gun but not unrestricted access

On gun rights: "I grew up on a ranch with a gun behind the back door," she said. "My family hunts and I'm not going to take guns away from my family or anybody else." She also said, however, that she voted against legislation allowing for guns in schools and government meetings while in the Wyoming state legislature.

On Abortion: Keep the government out of pregnancy decisions

I still go back to [former Republican Rep.] Lisa Shepperson's quote in 2011 when she was pregnant with her first child and still in the Legislature. She went to the mic and said, "when I go to the doctor I want my husband there and my doctor, and I don't want the government." I think that pretty much sums it up.

On Civil Rights: Gender wage gap must be addressed

I think the gender wage gap is a real problem for Wyoming because it shows a substantial opportunity gap. If we want to attract families to Wyoming there have to be opportunities for both men and women. I think [the gap] is a sign that we don't have equal opportunities here.
