Republican Harriet Hageman wins election to U.S. Senate from Wyoming – WTOP News

The Associated Press called the race with 0% of votes counted, and Hageman will succeed retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis.

  • On Tuesday, Republican U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman won election to the U.S. Senate representing Wyoming, defeating Democrat James Byrd. Hageman will succeed retiring Senator Cynthia Lummis after serving in the House since 2023.
  • Hageman gained national prominence in 2022 by defeating incumbent Representative Liz Cheney in the Republican primary. Securing Trump's endorsement, she aims to advance his "America First" agenda in the Senate.
  • Throughout her campaign, Hageman advocated for fossil fuel development and criticized what she termed the "far-left's scarcity agenda." She has consistently fought federal land use regulations, arguing they hinder Wyoming's economy.
  • In a state where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 7 to 1, Hageman held a significant advantage. After PBS cancelled a planned debate, Byrd criticized Hageman for what he called "silent non-responses."
  • Succeeding Senator Cynthia Lummis, who is retiring after one term, Hageman will transition from her House committee roles. She brings experience from the House Natural Resources and Judiciary committees to her Senate responsibilities.
