Mark Gordon (born 1957) is the treasurer of the U.S. state of Wyoming. A Republican, he was appointed to the position by Governor Matt Mead on October 26, 2012, to fill the vacancy created by the death of Joseph B. Meyer.
Gordon is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Gordon, ranchers from Kaycee in Johnson County in north central Wyoming. Reared on the Gordon Ranch, Gordon is still affiliated with the 48 Ranch Partnership in Kaycee.
He graduated from St. Paul's School, an Episcopalian boarding school in Concord, New Hampshire, and Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, where he met his first wife, the former Sarah Hildreth Gilmore. The couple married on March 7, 1981 in the Second Congregational Church in Greenfield, Massachusetts, where her parents resided.
At the time of this marriage, owing to a longstanding friendship with energy strategist Amory Lovins and a desire to enlighten what he considered to be the environmental community’s misguided antipathy towards ranching, the 23-year-old Gordon was named the chairman of the Wyoming chapter of the Sierra Club and the representative from his home state to the environmental group Friends of the Earth, with headquarters in San Francisco, California. Gordon's activities with these groups diminished through the 1980s and ceased with the passing of his wife in August 1993.
