Earlier this year Congressional Members in the House of Representatives re-introduced H.R. 82 (The Social Security Fairness Act of 2023). This bill would repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), which unfairly reduces Social Security benefits for millions of Americans.
WEP reduces earned Social Security benefits for Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) employees who also receive a public pension from another not covered by Social Security.

SARATOGA — As Republicans continue to hit a brick wall in getting legislation through a left-leaning U.S. Senate and President Joe Biden’s administration, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, says conservatives in America are losing confidence in their elected leaders.
During a town hall in Saratoga on Wednesday night, Hageman also acknowledged getting conservative legislation passed through today’s Congress and administration is a difficult task.

The United States farm country can feel like a whole different world compared to our nation’s highly-populated coastal regions. Rep. Harriet Hageman, the Republican from Wyoming, says this is a feeling she knows all too well.

Last week U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis fired back against a Biden administration Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule governing pistol braces. The senators joined their Republican colleagues on a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), but the measure failed by a vote of 49-50. The House, along with Wyo. Rep. Harriet Hageman, had passed the resolution earlier this month by a vote of 219-210; Biden resolved to veto it if it had passed both chambers.
Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) is reacting to the recent ruling that President Biden’s son, Hunter, reached a plea deal that has caused a political firestorm over independence of the judicial system.
U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday that she supports an effort from one of her colleagues in the House to have President Joe Biden impeached.
Hageman said if she has an opportunity to vote on Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert’s latest push to impeach Biden, she’s a “yes” vote.
Hageman’s stance on impeaching Biden aligns with her position as a growing influence among hardline conservatives in the House and distances her from Speaker Kevin McCarthy and more centrist Republicans.
