Gay Woodhouse (born January 8, 1950) is an American politician and lawyer who was the 32nd Attorney General of Wyoming and the first female to hold the office.
She served from November 1998 until June 2001 when she retired to begin a private practice.
[2] Woodhouse had served as Laramie County Commission Chairwoman but chose not to run for a second four year term.
[4] Thomas Scranton had hired Woodhouse’s firm to represent him in a wrongful termination lawsuit against the City of Cheyenne.
He claimed he “was denied a hearing to contest his termination because the attorney failed timely to request the hearing on behalf of Plaintiff.” The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s decision in favor of Woodhouse.
