John Barrasso, M.D. (b. 1952) is a 2007 Republican appointee to the United States Senate from Wyoming, filling the vacancy left by the death of U.S. Senator Craig L. Thomas. Barrasso, a divorced orthopedic surgeon, had served in the Wyoming State Senate since 2002.
He was a pro-choice candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1996, but was defeated in the primary. He has since declared himself pro-life and made the following statement upon his appointment to the U.S. Senate:
- "In the state Senate, in addition to receiving an 'A' rating from the NRA, I have voted for prayer in schools, against gay marriage and have sponsored legislation to protect the sanctity of life."[1]
