Biography

Overview

Harriet M. Hageman is a Republican U.S. Representative from Wyoming, serving the state's at-large congressional district since 2023. A Wyoming native and trial attorney with degrees from the University of Wyoming, she became known nationally after defeating three-term incumbent Liz Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary by a landslide (66.3% to 28.9%), with Trump's endorsement. She won the general election with 67% of the vote and was re-elected in 2024. As of December 2025, she announced a campaign for U.S. Senate to succeed retiring Senator Cynthia Lummis.

Career

In her legal career, Hageman represented Wyoming in Nebraska v. Wyoming, a dispute over the North Platte River management. In Congress, she has authored numerous bills focused on energy development (HR 8330 on energy liability protections), mining and coal leasing (HR 7872, HR 7458), public lands (HR 7695 on roadless area rules, HR 6300 Grasslands Grazing Act), and constitutional/governance issues (HR 7286 on tax-exempt status for abortion providers, HR 6746 on Section 230 reform). She also supported public lands sale proposals in 2025, though those faced significant bipartisan opposition and were withdrawn. Her tenure includes backing all ballots for Kevin McCarthy's 2023 speakership despite Freedom Caucus opposition.

Prior political experience

Hageman was first elected to Congress in 2022 after winning the Republican primary against three-term incumbent Liz Cheney with 66.3% of the vote to Cheney's 28.9%. She carried all but two counties (Teton and Albany). In the general election, she defeated Democrat Lynnette Grey Bull with 67% of the vote to Grey Bull's 24%. She was re-elected in 2024. Prior to Congress, Hageman unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for governor of Wyoming in 2018, placing third out of six candidates behind investment manager Foster Friess and eventual winner Mark Gordon.
