Gena Jensen

Gena Jensen serves as a City Councilor for the City of Casper, Wyoming, where she has been an active participant in land-use and regulatory decisions. Her most notable recent involvement in the iGaming/gambling context was the 2026 debate over a six-month moratorium on new gambling establishments; she argued that the moratorium would unfairly benefit existing gambling businesses and questioned the city’s role in regulating gaming machines. She opposed the moratorium, which ultimately passed.

Beyond her council duties, Jensen is the Executive Director of the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, focusing on tourism, education, and historic preservation. She also serves on the board of the Casper Area Chamber of Commerce. Her professional background combines public service with nonprofit leadership in the community.

Jensen is active in local events and organizations, including the Rotary Club and pageantry (Miss Wyoming for America Strong). Her role as a policymaker directly affects the gambling industry's local expansion, making her a key figure in Casper's regulatory landscape.
