Hageman spoke to both the Wyoming Senate and House in an unscheduled stop by the Capitol in Cheyenne.
She commended Trump’s work during his first two weeks in office, saying it would be an understatement to say he hit the ground running.
Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman is among Republicans in Congress calling out federal officials for an armed, intimidating response to a South Dakota ranch family’s home over a 75-year-old property line dispute.
A scathing letter obtained by Cowboy State Daily early Wednesday was sent to Alison Ramsdell, U.S. Attorney for the District of South Dakota, from Hageman and other congressional representatives. It calls for Ramsdell to provide a briefing about the case of Charles and Heather Maude of Caputa, South Dakota.

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.

CASPER, Wyo. — Two students from Kelly Walsh High School have been chosen as winners of the 2024 Congressional App Challenge.

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.
The controversy erupted after Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, introduced a resolution Monday that would ban transgender women from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol — weeks after Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride was elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress.
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.
