EVANSTON — U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman visited Evanston on Thursday, May 4, for a townhall meeting at the Strand Theatre.

Hageman first spoke about the House Speaker’s race, which saw a hard-fought victory for Rep. Kevin McCarthy in early January.

“You may think it’s old news, but I think it’s kind of important,” she said.

She said her time in Congress has taught her that Representatives spend little time together. “I think that’s in part why our Congress has become so fragmented,” Hageman said.

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted in favor of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. This comprehensive legislation incorporates critical policies important to ending the illegal immigrant crisis on our southern border. It is a crisis that is directly the result of the failed policies and lack of enforcement by the Biden Administration – President Biden issued 94 executive orders related to the border within his first 100 days in office.

U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, wants the United States to resume the southern border policies it enforced under former President Donald Trump. 

With an influx of migrants expected to come across the southern border with Mexico in response to President Joe Biden lifting a COVID-19 pandemic-era restriction on immigration, Wyoming’s congressional delegation is blasting Biden’s policies.

Last month, Republicans in the House, including Wyoming’s Rep. Harriet Hageman, narrowly passed a bill that would increase the nation’s debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion.

ROCK SPRINGS — During a town hall meeting in Rock Springs last Friday, Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman recounted the work that has been done toward energy independence and security.

“As far as some of the bills that I have been working on, one of the ones that I am very, very interested in cosponsoring is H.R.1,” Hageman said.

H.R.1 — Lower Energy Costs Act provides for the “exploration, importation and exportation of energy resources,” such oil, gas and minerals, according to Congress.gov.

KEMMERER — Congresswoman Harriet Hageman spoke to citizens of Lincoln County on Friday, May 5, at the BOCES center. She began the meeting with the message that “Members of congress need to take power back, so we are the ones setting the agenda, not leadership.”

Hageman gave updates on the latest congressional session and said there were important changes being made.

“We are now amending bills from the floor,” she said. “The process has been working well. I have introduced six or seven bills and co-sponsored almost 70 bills.”

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - In her first four months in Congress, Representative Harriet Hageman has been busy.

During her recent town hall meetings in Lincoln and Sweetwater counties, she recapped some of her latest developments in Congress.

Hageman was chosen as the Co-Chair for the 118th Congressional Coal Caucus.

As part of that, Hagemen is co-sponsoring H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act.

The bill combines legislation that focuses on America’s energy independence.

The Bureau of Land Management opened a public comment period this week on an environmental review of federal leasing of thermal coal. It’s an early step in a long process that’s needed if a federal moratorium on leasing is to be lifted, which will be required for long-term coal production in Wyoming.
