CASPER, Wyo. — Republican Harriet Hageman will be Wyoming’s next representative in the U.S. House of Representatives after winning the 2022 General Election.
Hageman secured 132,172 votes with all 23 counties reporting after midnight, besting challengers Lynnette Grey Bull (Democrat), Richard Brubaker (Libertarian) and Marissa Joy Selvig (Constitution Party), according to unofficial results from the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office.
Hageman, an attorney who was raised on a ranch near Fort Laramie, secured the endorsement of former President Donald Trump ahead of the Republican Primary election. Hageman defeated incumbent Rep. Liz. Cheney in the primary with 65.7% of the vote to Cheney’s 28.7%.
