Wyoming’s at-large congresswoman, Harriet Hageman, hinted at a potential run for governor in 2026 in a recent podcast interview. Hageman, who replaced Liz Cheney in 2022, emphasized the need for a strong governor to combat potential challenges under a Kamala Harris presidency or to support Donald Trump.
While not confirming her gubernatorial aspirations, Hageman stated that her current focus is on representing Wyoming in Congress. She is seeking re-election this November after defeating Cheney in the primary.
Hageman has worked on important issues in Congress, such as advocating for the delisting of grizzly bears from the Endangered Species List and pushing back against federal sessions on climate change emotions. She has also been involved in questioning Hunter Biden and serving on committees related to federal government weaponization.
Cheney’s ousting from leadership was partially due to her feud with Trump, which alienated Wyoming voters and led to her defeat by Hageman. Hageman, who ran with endorsements from Trump and House Minority Leader McCarthy, has positioned herself as a strong conservative voice in Congress.
As she continues her work in Washington, Hageman’s potential run for governor is something to watch in the coming years. Her focus on representing Wyoming and advocating for conservative values could make her a formidable candidate in the state’s political landscape.
