as executive director of Wyoming Conservation Voters and the WCV Education Fund
since September 2001. He was born in a small farming town in southern Minnesota
but got to Sheridan in time to finish elementary school, graduating from Sheridan
High in 1990 and Harvard College, with a degree in English, in 1994. He served as
field director for the Wyoming Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign in 1994 before
starting a seven-year career as a Casper Star-Tribune reporter, covering government,
the environment, the energy industry and the state's congressional delegation. Jason
won the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region 8 Environmental Achievement
Award in 1998 for his coverage of the litigation and eventual cleanup of Casper's
former Amoco Refinery site, and has twice been honored by the Wyoming Wildlife Federation.
He serves on the boards of directors of the Equality State Policy Council, the Wyoming
Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Alliance for Historic Wyoming. In his remaining
free time he studies Dutch, spoils his two cats and pursues domestic tranquility
with his partner of 10 years, Guy Padgett, the two-term Casper city councilman and
former mayor.
