Despite being a member of the Republican Party, Simpson served as a liberal, benefiting from the conservative reputation of his father, Milward L. Simpson, was served Wyoming in the U.S. Senate from 1962-1967 after having been governor of Wyoming from 1955-1959. Since leaving the Senate, Simpson has taught at graduate school.
