Harriet Hageman

Harriet Maxine Hageman (born October 18, 1962) is an American politician and attorney serving as the U.S. representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district since 2023. She is a member of the Republican Party.

A Wyoming native, Hageman holds degrees from the University of Wyoming and has spent her career as a trial attorney. She unsuccessfully ran for the Republican nomination for governor of Wyoming in 2018 and later served as a member of the Republican National Committee. With the endorsement of President Donald Trump, Hageman later defeated incumbent representative Liz Cheney, a Trump critic and vice chair of the House January 6 Committee, by a landslide in the 2022 Republican primary election, garnering over twice as many votes as Cheney while spending less than a quarter of Cheney's campaign expenditures. She placed third out of six candidates in a prior, less-politicized campaign for Governor.

Hageman was sworn into Congress on January 3, 2023. She won re-election in 2024.

On December 23, 2025, Hageman announced she would run for United States Senate in 2026 to succeed retiring incumbent Cynthia Lummis.

Harriet Maxine Hageman was born in Douglas, Wyoming, on October 18, 1962, and grew up on a ranch outside of Fort Laramie, Wyoming, near the Nebraska border. Her father, James Hageman, served as a longtime member of the Wyoming House of Representatives until his death in 2006. She is a fourth-generation Wyomingite; her great-grandfather, James Clay Shaw, moved to the then-Wyoming Territory from Texas in 1878.

After graduating from Lingle/Fort Laramie High School, Hageman earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from the University of Wyoming and a Juris Doctor from the University of Wyoming College of Law.

Hageman served as a law clerk for Judge James E. Barrett of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. She has since worked as a trial attorney. In 1997, Hageman represented Wyoming in Nebraska v. Wyoming, a dispute over management of the North Platte River. In the case, she advocated against the United States Forest Service's roadless rule and lost. In the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, Hageman supported U.S. senator Ted Cruz and criticized Donald Trump.

Hageman was a candidate in the 2018 Wyoming gubernatorial election, placing third after investment manager Foster Friess and the eventual winner, state treasurer Mark Gordon. Hageman was the Republican National committeewoman for Wyoming in 2020 and 2021.
