Harriet Hageman

Harriet Maxine Hageman (born October 18, 1962) is an American politician and attorney serving as the U.S. representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district since 2023. She is a member of the Republican Party.

A Wyoming native, Hageman holds degrees from the University of Wyoming and has spent her career as a trial attorney. She unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for governor of Wyoming in 2018 and later served as a member of the Republican National Committee. With the endorsement of President Donald Trump, Hageman later defeated incumbent representative Liz Cheney, a Trump critic and vice chair of the House January 6 Committee, by a landslide in the 2022 Republican primary election, garnering over twice as many votes as Cheney while spending less than a quarter of Cheney's campaign expenditures. She placed third out of six candidates in a prior, less-politicized campaign for Governor.

Hageman was sworn into Congress on January 3, 2023. She won re-election in 2024.

On December 23, 2025, Hageman announced she would run for United States Senate in 2026 to succeed retiring incumbent Cynthia Lummis.
