Natural Resources
As an attorney, I fought to return control of natural resources to local entities, not far-away federal bureaucrats. I am honored to serve on the Natural Resources committee to continue this work from the halls of Congress. I also have the privilege of chairing the Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs, working with tribal and territorial leaders on issues important to their communities.

Washington, D.C. – Today, President Trump issued Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry, a massive win for Wyoming coal. Rep. Hageman is a champion for Wyoming coal in Congress, serving as co-chair of the Coal Caucus and spearheading legislation to overturn the Buffalo RMP and increase coal leasing in the Powder River Basin. These policies and more are included in the President’s order, fulfilling his promise to unleash American energy and bolster our prosperity.
Wyoming is on the front lines of wildlife management. We enjoy a rich diversity of some of America’s most iconic species, yet we also directly witness how federal bureaucracy ties our hands and prevents local leaders from managing the wildlife in and around our communities. Look no further than the overgrown Greater Yellowstone Grizzly population. These apex predators – currently protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) – attack hunters and hikers, damage property, and destroy livestock.
Washington, DC – Representatives Harriet Hageman (R-WY), Russ Fulcher (R-ID), Ryan Zinke (R-MT), and Troy Downing (R-MT), urged President Trump and Department of Interior (DOI) Secretary Doug Burgum to reverse a last-minute Biden Administration policy proposal to reclassify grizzly populations into a single Distinct Population Segment (DPS) and its decision to deny Wyoming and Montana’s petitions to delist grizzlies in the Greater Yellowstone (GYE) and Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE).
