Harriet Maxine Hageman[1] (born October 18, 1962)[2][3] is an American attorney and Republican political candidate who won the Republican primary for the 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming, defeating incumbent Liz Cheney, a critic of former President Donald Trump. She was previously a candidate for the 2018 Wyoming gubernatorial election, placing third in the Republican primary.

Early life and education

Hageman was born and raised on a ranch outside Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Her father, James Hageman, served as a longtime member of the Wyoming House of Representatives.[4] After graduating from Fort Laramie High School, she 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.[5][6]

Career

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.[7][8] During the case, Hageman advocated against the United States Forest Service's roadless rule.[9][10][11] During the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, Hageman supported U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and criticized Donald Trump.[12] Hageman later stated that she had been fooled into opposing Trump.[13]

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 a member of the Republican National Committee for Wyoming in 2020 and 2021.[14]

In September 2021, Hageman announced her candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in the 2022 election against incumbent Republican Liz Cheney. In her announcement, Hageman said the she was running because Cheney "betrayed Wyoming, betrayed the country, and she betrayed me".[15] Since her announcement, Hageman was endorsed by many prominent Republicans, including former President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.[16][17][18] Hageman has also received campaign support from several Trump administration staffers, including Bill Stepien, Justin R. Clark, Tim Murtaugh, and others.[19] In January 2022, it was reported that Hageman's campaign had raised one million dollars.[20] She defeated Cheney in the Republican primary,[21] receiving 66.3% of the vote.

The major-party opponent she will face on the November 8, 2022 general election ballot will be Democrat Lynnette Grey Bull.[22]

Personal life

Hageman is married to Cheyenne-based malpractice attorney John Sundhal.[23]
