For over 30 years as a private attorney and now as your representative, I have defended Wyoming against the administrative state. For too long, Washington, D.C. has delegated authority to unelected bureaucrats in a manner that jeopardizes our Constitution.
Administrative agencies have the power to write, enforce, and judicially review law, even though they are unelected and therefore unaccountable to the People. How this translates in Wyoming is the EPA’s ability to bring tens of thousands of dollars of fines per day against a rancher who simply cleared out an irrigation ditch on his property, or small businesses losing resources to complex regulatory compliance.
As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I have primary jurisdiction over administrative law where I am working to restore power in Congress, ensure due process, and otherwise stop the onslaught of trillions in hidden taxes that stem from annual regulatory compliance.
More on The Administrative State
Wyoming’s Washington, D.C. delegation described former president Donald Trump’s indictment Thursday over hush money payments to a porn star as “politically motivated,” despite differing in support toward the 2024 presidential hopeful.
U.S. Rep. Hageman said she finds the breadth and scope of federal government censorship in social media “stunning” and believes the activity extends from Congress to the office of the President of the United States.
“We continue our work and as we seek to hold this administration and these corrupt government hacks accountable for their blatant violation of the First Amendment to the United States constitution,” the Wyoming Republican said during a Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government meeting Thursday.
Washington, D.C.- Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY) today issued the following statement regarding the grand jury indictment of former President Donald J. Trump and the political witch hunt being pursued by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg:
Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., told Newsmax on Tuesday that it's "very obvious" that the IRS's recent unannounced visit to journalist Matt Taibbi's home after he finished testifying before the House weaponization subcommittee on the Twitter Files was an attempt at witness intimidation.
Wyoming U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman told Cowboy State Daily on Friday morning she is appalled by what she sees as the federal government suppressing free speech and surveillance on citizens.
Hageman is an at-large member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, a panel established to investigate alleged abuses of federal authority, including collusion between federal agencies and social media companies to suppress conservative viewpoints.
Washington, DC – Today Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement on the politically motivated investigation by New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg:
A majority of voters in the United States believe that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has become “politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington,” according to a recent poll.
“Do you agree or disagree with this statement: The FBI has become ‘politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington?’” Rasmussen Reports asked 950 U.S. likely voters in a survey conducted March 6-8.
Federal regulations and guidance documents cost our country $2.1 TRILLION dollars annually and continually chip away at our freedoms and rights. These guidance documents are pervasive, circumventing the rule-making process and avoiding oversight under the Administrative Procedures Act.
Congress must curtail the coercive nature of federal bureaucrats, and the Biden Administration has intentionally worked to hide the impact of guidance documents from the American public.
The Twitter Files prove that FBI agents spent their days and taxpayer dollars enforcing Twitter's terms of service instead of policing and enforcing federal law. Instead of upholding the First Amendment, they purposefully sought out individuals to suppress. As Mr. Taibbi states, you can't have a state-sponsored anti-disinformation effort without undermining the concept of free speech.
Today Harriet Hageman voted in favor of legislation that would ensure federal employees are no longer allowed to infringe upon the 1st Amendment rights of American citizens.
