Jack R. Gage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack R. Gage (January 13, 1899–March 1970) was an American politician who served as the Democratic governor of Wyoming from January 1961 until January 1963.
Gage replaced Democratic governor John J. Hickey, who resigned on January 3, 1961, upon appointing himself to a vacant seat in the United States Senate, occasioned by the death of Senator-elect Keith Thomson.
Governor Gage secured the 1962 Democratic gubernatorial nomination by defeating William Jack, 55.5 to 44.5 percent. That November, Gage lost the election to the Republican Clifford Hansen. The results were: Hansen 64,970 votes (54.5 percent) to Gage's 54,298 (45.5 percent).
