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.

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman called on the Biden Administration to release the Fall 2024 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, which is now two months overdue. The delay in publishing this key document undermines transparency, hampers Congressional oversight, and raises concern that President Biden is interfering with the presidential transition.
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced the Regulatory Cooling Off Act, legislation designed to slow the onslaught of burdensome federal regulations and protect small businesses from overbearing government mandates.
Although U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman told Cowboy State Daily she expected President Joe Biden pardoning his son for ongoing federal gun and tax evasion charges to be an “inevitable” event, she doesn’t believe that makes Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter on Sunday right.
As a result of the pardon, Hunter Biden won’t face any federal charges stemming from the crimes he committed or may have committed over the last 10-plus years through Sunday.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Harriet Hageman introduced a bill to repeal the SUSTAINS Act, a misguided law empowering non-governmental actors to exercise authority over USDA conservation programs while pushing the 30x30 agenda’s use of natural capital accounting for evaluating the value of private lands.
