Biography[]
Harriet Maxine Hageman was born in Fort Laramie, Wyoming in 1962, the daughter of Republican state legislator James Hageman. She worked as a trial attorney before launching an unsuccessful gubernatorial bid in 2018. In 2020, she challenged congresswoman Liz Cheney in the Republican congressional primary due to her opposition to Donald Trump, saying of Cheney, she "betrayed Wyoming, betrayed the country, and she betrayed me." She defeated Cheney with 66.3% of the vote in a primary election which drew national attention, as it signified the Republican Party's continued commitment to Trumpism. She went on to win the general election with ease.
