Press Releases
Washington, DC – In response to the Biden Administration’s latest attack on our American way of life, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement:
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted NO on H.R. 8035, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, and YES on H.R. 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. Both bills, along with two other security supplemental bills, will be combined into one package with no opportunity for Congress to vote on that final package – making this bill the Senate supplemental that House Republicans have widely condemned.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Western Caucus Members responded to the Biden Administration’s recent Conservation and Landscape Health final rule from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This rule violates the multiple-use mandate established by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and is a direct threat to rural America.
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted against a ‘rule’ to allow four supplemental funding bills to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote. This rule vote is consequential because although it allows for separate votes on Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan funding, and a Russia/Iran Sanctions bill, the rule would then force all bills to be combined into one package with no opportunity for Congress to vote on that final package – essentially making the bill the Senate supplemental that House Republicans have widely condemned.
Washington, DC - In response to the Schumer led Senate dismissal of impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following comment:
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman and Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced bipartisan and bicameral legislation – the Postal Operations Stay Timely and Local (POSTAL) Act, which prevents the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from closing, consolidating, or downgrading its processing and distribution centers (P&DC) nationwide if such an action would remove the sole P&DC within a state or negatively impact mail delivery.
Washington, DC – Today Congresswoman Harriet Hageman announced that she will host 4 town hall meetings in Carbon, Fremont, Washakie, and Hot Springs Counties, between April 23rd and 27th. These events will mark the completion of 12 town halls this year and 35 since being sworn-in to Congress.
Washington, DC – Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources advanced Rep. Hageman’s bill, H.R. 7375, which reforms the way in which expression of interest (EOI) fees are assessed under the Mineral Leasing Act. Under this bill, operators will not have to pay EOI fees unless the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) holds a lease sale for the parcel of interest. In addition, it would extend an EOI’s validity from three to five years.
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined Speaker Mike Johnson and ten House of Representatives colleagues to deliver Articles of Impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate. Representative Hageman will serve as an impeachment manager for any Senate trial of Secretary Mayorkas.
Washington, DC – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1246, a bill to provide flexibility and certainty in the tribal land leasing process. The bill amends the Long-Term Leasing Act to allow all federally recognized tribes to enter into leases for up to 99 years. Following today’s bipartisan passage, the legislation will be sent to the Senate for consideration.
