The person behind the name
Harriet Hageman’s public career runs from Wyoming water and land litigation to the state’s only U.S. House seat, and now to a campaign for an open U.S. Senate seat.
Hageman is the U.S. representative for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district. She was sworn in on January 7, 2023 and won a second term in November 2024. On December 23, 2025, she announced a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat held by Cynthia Lummis, who had said she would not seek another term. She won the August 18, 2026 Republican primary with 83,807 votes; Sam Mead was second with 35,879, according to the Secretary of State’s official summary. The state’s general-election candidate roster, stamped September 9, 2026, lists Hageman as the Republican candidate and James Byrd as the Democratic candidate for the seat. [1][2][3][9][10]
Education and professional preparation
Her official House biography says she grew up on a ranch, attended Casper College on a livestock judging scholarship, and earned her bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Wyoming. ABC News reported in 2022 that the bachelor’s degree was in business administration and that she clerked for a federal appeals judge before entering practice. WyoFile’s December 2025 account says she was born in Douglas and raised on a ranch near Fort Laramie; the 2022 ABC News profile describes her as born and raised on a small ranch outside Fort Laramie. [5][7][10]
A litigation career in water and land disputes
The official biography describes 34 years as a litigator and says she has been admitted to practice in several states and before the U.S. Supreme Court. It characterizes her work as challenging “federal overreach” and protecting water and property rights; that language is her office’s own. High Country News reported in 2009 that she worked from 2001 to 2003 as outside counsel shaping Wyoming’s lawsuit against the federal roadless rule. E&E News reported in January 2022 that she had worked for an industry coalition seeking removal of the gray wolf’s Endangered Species Act protections and was then senior litigation counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance. [5][11][12]
From convention delegate to Congress
Hageman has said she was a Ted Cruz delegate at the 2016 Republican National Convention. In 2018 she ran for governor and finished third in the Republican primary with 25,052 votes, behind Mark Gordon (38,951) and Foster Friess (29,842). In 2022, with Donald Trump’s backing, she defeated Rep. Liz Cheney in the Republican primary, 113,079 votes to 49,339, and won the general election with 132,206 votes. She won a second term in 2024 with 184,680 votes. [9][10][13][14][15][16]
Life & public service
From courtroom work on land and water disputes to a House seat and a Senate nomination, these are the documented milestones.
Roadless-rule litigation
High Country News reported that she worked as outside counsel shaping Wyoming’s lawsuit against the federal roadless rule. [11]
Third in the primary for governor
Received 25,052 votes in the August 21 Republican primary, behind Mark Gordon and Foster Friess. [14]
Entered the U.S. House race
Her campaign biography dates her announcement for Wyoming’s congressional seat to September 2021. [17]
Sworn in; named subcommittee chair
Sworn in on January 7. Her office announced her appointment to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on January 24 and her selection as chair of the Natural Resources Subcommittee for Indian and Insular Affairs on February 1. [3][6][19]
New subcommittee chair; January 6 panel
WyoFile reported that she was named chair of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife and Fisheries in January and appointed in September to a new select subcommittee re-examining the events of January 6, 2021. The Clerk of the House lists that assignment. [4][5][10]
Tribal leasing bill passes the House
Her office reported on March 4 that the House passed her bill allowing tribal trust-land leases of up to 99 years. [25]
Accomplishments, in the record
Legislation and official documents establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level supported by those records, with shared credit where other officials were principal authors.
Winning Wyoming’s at-large seat
The Secretary of State’s official summary of the August 16, 2022 Republican primary shows 113,079 votes for Hageman and 49,339 for the incumbent, Liz Cheney, with three other candidates below 5,000 each. [15]
In the November 8 general election she received 132,206 votes to 47,250 for Democrat Lynnette GreyBull. In 2024 she received 184,680 votes to 60,778 for Democrat Kyle G. Cameron. These official totals describe election outcomes, not legislative results. [9][16]
A subcommittee chair in her first term
Her office’s February 1, 2023 release reported that Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman named her chair of the Subcommittee for Indian and Insular Affairs. The release describes jurisdiction over matters involving Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Alaska Natives, including 574 federally recognized tribes, and over five U.S. territories. [6]
A January 24, 2023 release reported her appointment by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Both documents announce assignments; they do not measure what the panels produced. [19]
A yes on H.R. 1
The Clerk of the House records Hageman voting “Aye” on Roll Call 190 on July 3, 2025, the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The motion passed 218–214. [21]
Her office’s December 30, 2025 release tied the law to the Rural Health Transformation Program and reported that Wyoming would receive more than $205 million for fiscal year 2026. The release is her office’s account of an award; it is not an audit of how the money is spent or of the law’s other health-care effects. [26]
Overturning the Buffalo coal-leasing plan
Her office reported that Hageman introduced H.J. Res. 130 alongside Senators Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso. The enrolled text disapproves, under the Congressional Review Act, the Bureau of Land Management’s Buffalo Field Office resource management plan amendment issued November 20, 2024. It cites a September 18, 2025 Government Accountability Office opinion that the plan is a rule under that act. [27][28]
The House passed the resolution 214–212 on November 18, 2025, with Hageman voting yes. Her office’s December 11 release reported that President Trump signed it, and said it restores the previous plan and bars a substantially similar one. The release credits the full Wyoming delegation, which introduced the measure in both chambers on October 8, 2025. Her office’s figures for the 2024 plan are 481,000 acres closed to coal leasing and 48.12 billion short tons of coal made unavailable. [22][23][27]
A 99-year leasing bill passes the House
Her office announced on November 5, 2025 that she had reintroduced H.R. 5910 with Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a New Mexico Democrat. The release says the bill amends the Long-Term Leasing Act to let all federally recognized tribes lease trust land for up to 99 years, and that the legislation had passed the House in the 118th Congress. [29]
Her office reported on March 4, 2026 that the House had passed her tribal leasing bill by unanimous consent. The March release does not print a bill number. House passage is not enactment, and the release does not report Senate action. [25]
Assignments in the 119th Congress
The Clerk of the House lists Hageman on the Committee on Natural Resources (Energy and Mineral Resources; Water, Wildlife and Fisheries), the Committee on the Judiciary (the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust; the Constitution and Limited Government), and the Select Subcommittee to Investigate the Remaining Questions Surrounding January 6, 2021. [4]
Her official biography identifies her as chair of the Water, Wildlife and Fisheries subcommittee and co-chair of the Congressional Coal Caucus. [5]
Registering and funding the Senate campaign
Her Senate statement of candidacy, filed December 24, 2025, carries FEC candidate ID S6WY00209 and names Hageman for Wyoming as principal campaign committee. The same committee was named in her June 6, 2025 statement of candidacy for the House seat, so its 2025–26 totals are not limited to Senate-race activity. [24][30]
The FEC’s candidate page shows total receipts of $2,435,022.54 and total disbursements of $2,402,616.58 for January 1, 2025 through July 29, 2026, with ending cash on hand of $915,369.00. The committee’s pre-primary report for July 1–29, 2026 shows the same cash balance and no debts; its election-cycle-to-date receipts line, $2,528,800.72, is a different measure from the FEC page’s total. [31][32]
Family & community
Her official House biography says she grew up on a ranch and attended Casper College on a livestock judging scholarship. Her campaign describes her as a “fourth generation Wyomingite.” The Clerk of the House lists Cheyenne as her hometown. [4][5][17]
The campaign biography says that in her first House race she covered more than 50,000 miles and held more than 200 public events in eleven months; those are the campaign’s figures. WyoFile reported that a March 2025 town hall in Laramie was her 74th in three years. [17][33]
Neither her official biography nor her campaign website, as reviewed, names family members or states a religious affiliation. This profile makes no claim about either. [5][17]
Her mission for Wyoming
A leader who shares Wyoming’s values, stands up to federal overreach, and protects private property and water rights.
Hageman’s campaign website had no issues or platform page when reviewed. The following summarizes positions from the campaign’s biography, her statements and forum answers during the 2026 campaign, and the priorities page of her official House website. These are stated positions, not completed accomplishments. [17][34][35]
01Federal overreach and property rights
The campaign biography says she has built a reputation for “standing up to federal overreach, protecting private property and water rights,” and for challenging what it calls unconstitutional acts by federal and state agencies. [17]
02Taxes, energy and immigration
In her primary-night statement, WyoFile reported, she emphasized keeping taxes low, ensuring that “property rights mean something,” producing domestic energy “by responsibly accessing our natural resources,” and enforcing immigration laws. [36]
03Coal and legacy industries
04Public lands: multiple use
The same page says she has “consistently advocated for the ‘multiple use and sustained yield’ approach to land and water management, prioritizing access, responsible development, and effective conservation.” [35]
05Health care
At a July 8, 2026 candidate forum in Casper, WyoFile reported, she blamed the loss of insurers in Wyoming on the Affordable Care Act, agreed with primary rival Sam Mead that Wyoming should join a larger insurance marketplace, and said drug-pricing rules and practices should be examined. In the health-care discussion she said Wyoming “will receive over $500 million over a five year period … to address the specific needs of our communities.” [37]
06Congress and executive agencies
At the same forum, WyoFile reported her saying the legislative branch “has actually abdicated its responsibilities in many ways by allowing the executive agencies to take over their legislating and lawmaking authority.” [37]
07Life and family policy
Her official priorities page says she “will always advance policies that uphold the sanctity of life and strengthen the traditional American family.” [35]
How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the documented record above.
The fuller record
A useful profile includes policy tradeoffs, the limits of a claim, and responses to material criticism.
Public lands: the Utah brief and a land-sale bill
Hageman was the only member of Congress from outside Utah on an October 22, 2024 amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to hear Utah’s suit over federal land. The brief said that “if anything would justify war, it is one country’s continued occupation of another,” and added: “That is not to say that Utah, as part of the federal system of sovereignty, would be justified in actually going to war against the United States.” It asked the Court to “compel the United States to return to Utah control over its lands.” The Court denied Utah’s motion on January 13, 2025. WyoFile reported that primary rival Sam Mead and Democratic nominee James Byrd both ran on public lands, with Byrd criticizing what he characterized as her anti-conservation position. At a July 2026 forum she said, “I have worked diligently and very hard in Congress to make sure that we are protecting those resources.” The brief concerns federal land in Utah; it does not itself propose transferring or selling land in Wyoming. [20][36][37][38] Separately: In June 2025, Cowboy State Daily reported that Hageman disputed a Wilderness Society map showing nearly 15 million acres in Wyoming as potentially for sale under a bill then before a U.S. Senate committee. She said only a tiny fraction of federal land in the state might be sold, mostly parcels in or near communities for housing. The Wilderness Society stood by its map; its Wyoming director said it shows “a substantially larger footprint” than lands already identified for disposal. The article gives her position largely in paraphrase and does not settle which reading of the bill was correct. [39]
Town halls, tele-town halls and the PBS debate
WyoFile reported that more than 500 people attended her March 19, 2025 town hall in Laramie, where she told a jeering crowd, “You guys are going to have a heart attack if you don’t calm down. I’m sorry, you’re hysterical.” On March 25 she moved to tele-town halls, citing safety, including a woman who followed her after a Wheatland event and a swatting incident at her Cheyenne residence. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported that the Platte County sheriff confirmed the Wheatland incident, while Cheyenne’s police chief said he could not find any reports of a swatting incident at her residence. Her office, answering residents who said they were left off a call, said all Laramie County residents who signed up received outreach and that more than 1,000 people joined. The reporting does not establish whether an incident was reported to another agency. [33][40] On September 13, 2026, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported that Wyoming PBS dropped its general-election U.S. Senate debate because, in its chief executive’s words, “We did not receive a response from U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman’s campaign”; the paper wrote that it was “the third general election she has failed to respond to requests from PBS to participate in a debate,” and that James Byrd’s campaign was the only one to confirm. Campaign adviser Tim Murtaugh told the paper she “will spend her time talking directly to voters as she has for the past five years.” [44]
From Cheney ally to Trump-endorsed challenger
ABC News reported in 2022 that Hageman advised Liz Cheney’s 2014 Senate campaign, endorsed Cheney’s 2016 House campaign, and as a 2016 convention delegate worked to force a floor vote to block Donald Trump’s nomination; it reported that she had condemned him as “racist and xenophobic.” After a New York Times article described that history in September 2021, Cowboy State Daily quoted her response: “I heard and believed the lies the Democrats and Liz Cheney’s friends in the media were telling at the time, but that is ancient history as I quickly realized their allegations against President Trump were untrue.” Trump backed her 2022 campaign and endorsed her Senate campaign on December 23, 2025. [7][10][13]
The 2022 “rigged” election statement and the lawyers’ letter
WyoFile reported that at a Casper candidate forum shortly before the August 2022 primary Hageman said, “absolutely the election was rigged. It was rigged to make sure that President Trump could not get reelected,”. Forty-one Wyoming attorneys and retired judges, among them a retired state chief justice and the State Bar’s president, wrote to her on September 12, 2022 that the comments “were not supportive of the Rule of Law.” WyoFile (September 23, 2022) reported her response: “There remain serious questions about that election,” and that fellow lawyers were trying “to squelch my own 1st Amendment rights.” A separate grievance by a Wyoming lawyer was not investigated; WyoFile (September 29, 2022) reported bar counsel’s view that her remarks, made outside a court proceeding, could be cast as “the exercise of her right of free speech.” Hageman did not respond to WyoFile’s request for comment on that story. The letter is the signers’ opinion; no court or disciplinary body found a violation. [45][46]
What rating groups show
Heritage Action’s scorecard page showed a 96% session score and a 97% lifetime score for Hageman when reviewed. The League of Conservation Voters scored her 0% for 2025, 3% for 2024 and 0% for 2023, with a lifetime score of 1%. Both are advocacy organizations scoring votes they select; the numbers measure agreement with each group’s positions, not effectiveness. The conservation score sits beside her official priorities page, which describes her approach as including “effective conservation.” [35][41][42]
Her legal record and conservation critics
High Country News profiled Hageman in 2009 under the headline The Wicked Witch of the West, a nickname she traced to an environmentalist’s angry letter to the editor, and credited her research and arguments with persuading a federal judge to throw out the roadless rule. E&E News reported in January 2022 that Dan Smitherman of the Wilderness Society called her an “anti-public lands ‘sagebrush rebellion’ lawyer and pro-ranching, anti-wolf advocate,” and that Hageman and her campaign did not respond to its requests. Her official biography describes the same career as “protecting water and property rights.” [5][11][12]
