Wyoming’s only Representative in the U.S. House, Harriet Hageman, has served in Congress for almost a year. In that time, Republicans have struggled to maintain their leadership and have fiercely debated government funding and American involvement in foreign conflicts. Wyoming Public Radio’s Will Walkey spoke with Hageman about her reflections about her tenure so far, as well as what issues she’s focusing on in the new year.
The following transcript has been lightly edited for brevity and clarity.

Wyoming’s lone U.S. House representative co-sponsored a budget amendment Tuesday that would have defunded a federal law that requires all passenger cars sold after 2026 to have a kill switch.

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, was among 199 Republicans and two Democrats voting to defund the kill-switch mandate. Voting against the amendment were 210 Democrats and 19 Republicans.
For U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s support of the terrorist Hamas group’s aggression toward Israel became too much to ignore.

The difference for Hageman came after Tlaib shared a video over the weekend supporting Hamas.
