Barlow Raises Over $500k, Brings Historic Fundraising Momentum Into 2026

Eric Barlow’s campaign for Governor of Wyoming is closing out the year with unprecedented momentum, reporting just over half a million dollars raised. The amount places the campaign on pace for one of the strongest fundraising efforts of any Wyoming gubernatorial race in Wyoming’s history. 

“I entered this race to continue serving Wyoming, not to climb the political ladder or play wait-and-see politics,” Barlow added. “As we head into the new year, I’m grateful for the trust people have placed in this campaign, and I’ll keep working every day to earn it.” 

Since launching his campaign, Barlow has received broad, grassroots support from Wyomingites across all 23 counties. His campaign has signed up hundreds of volunteers, has over 460 Wyoming donors, and has more than $390,000 in cash on hand to carry forward into 2026.

“This campaign is being built by Wyoming people who believe in Wyoming solutions,” Barlow said. “This level of support is humbling, and it tells me that folks are ready for leadership that listens, respects local communities, and puts the long-term future of this state first.”

“Wyoming people know Eric Barlow, and they trust his steady leadership,” said Diana Enzi, co-chair of the Barlow for Wyoming campaign committee. “This early support reflects real confidence in his commitment to practical solutions for Wyoming’s future.”

The strong fundraising comes alongside growing statewide engagement. Over the past five months, the campaign has expanded its footprint across Wyoming, with supporters hosting events, volunteering, and helping carry Barlow’s practical conservative message into their own communities. Campaign leadership attributes the fundraising success to a focus on direct voter engagement and a campaign grounded in Wyoming values rather than national political trends.

“This unprecedented early support reflects what we know about our Wyoming neighbors,” said Tony Ross, co-chair of the Barlow for Wyoming campaign committee. “They are responding to a campaign built on experience, service and respect, and they’re ready for steady, capable leadership.” 

Looking ahead, the campaign plans to build on its momentum with expanded outreach, additional community events, and continued engagement with voters across Wyoming. January will include events in Campbell County, the Big Horn Basin, and both southwest and northwest Wyoming. February and early March will focus on the 2026 legislative budget session, during which Barlow will host events across the southeastern part of the state.
