'''Alan Kooi Simpson''' (born September 2, 1931) served [[Wyoming]] in the [[U.S. Senate]] from 1979 to 1997. Despite his connection to the [[Republican Party]], he is a [[liberal]] on social issues. He originally benefited from the [[conservative]] reputation of his father, [[Milward Simpson]], who served Wyoming in the U.S. Senate from 1962 to 1967, after having been governor of Wyoming from 1955 to 1959. Simpson has been an advocate of fiscally [[conservative]] positions and argued strongly for entitlement reform. However, on social issues, he supports [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]]. He was a co-chairman of the Simpson/Bowles committee. Since leaving the Senate, Simpson has taught at his ''alma mater,'' the University of Wyoming at Laramie.
