Hageman slams Liz Cheney, administrative overreach, during town hall

GOP congressional candidate Harriet Hageman emphasized her commitment to reining in administrative overreach, during a town hall Saturday afternoon at the Laramie County Library. She also took the opportunity to continue her criticism of incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

“Last year starting around this time is when I really started thinking about running for Congress,” Hageman said. “Looking at what was going on with our current representative, I finally reached the conclusion and made the decision that she was not representing us. She does not represent us. She represents an agenda that we disagree with.”

Hageman entered the race for Wyoming’s sole seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in September with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump in a challenge to Cheney, who drew the ire of Republicans for her vote to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The two will face off in the Aug. 16 Republican primary.
