The country is mere days away from a new presidential administration, and from Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman’s view, the tone up on Capitol Hill is one of enthusiasm, optimism and excitement as the 119th Congressional session builds up momentum.
U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, cheered the House passing a bill Tuesday aimed at preventing males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.
The proposed federal law called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Florida, and cosponsored by Hageman, passed on a 218-206 count with one formal abstention and nine members not voting.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) declined petitions from Wyoming and Montana to delist grizzly bears as endangered despite the animals’ population boom becoming a threat for ranchers.
The agency delivered the ruling Wednesday, frustrating House Republicans who’ve urged the Biden administration to eliminate protections on the bears which have more than doubled their recovery goals for delisting.
CASPER, Wyo. — Two students from Kelly Walsh High School have been chosen as winners of the 2024 Congressional App Challenge.
That’s according to a release on the Natrona County School District website, which states that “their innovative app is designed to help students match their personality and interests with scholarships tailored to their academic goals.”
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.
A bill that would take away the tax-exempt status of nonprofit organizations that support terrorists in America is quickly moving through Congress with Rep. Harriet Hageman’s support.
Wyoming’s only member of the U.S. House of Representatives voiced support Wednesday for a new House rule banning males from the women’s bathrooms and locker rooms throughout the U.S. Capitol complex.
Wyoming’s congressional delegation, and 10 more members of Congress, sent a letter Monday to the commissioner of the Mountain West Conference, urging her to keep males out of women’s sports.
A bill to honor Dessie A. Bebout, a former Shoshoni Postmaster, has been passed by the United States House of Representatives and is now awaiting the President's approval. This legislation, introduced in the Senate by U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and Tom Carper (D-Del.), was unanimously approved in April. It then moved to the House where it received support from U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) and passed without opposition.
Congresswoman Harriet Hageman expressed serious concerns about the severe wildfire crisis in Wyoming this year, calling it “the worst year” she has witnessed in the state. She noted that extreme vegetation conditions and dry lightning have significantly contributed to the fires. While praising local forest management efforts, she acknowledged the catastrophic nature of the wildfires.
