Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), is the one on trial for her vocal criticism of the former president, voting with 10 House fellow Republicans for his impeachment, and serving as co-chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is backing challenger Harriet Hageman, a Fort Laramie natural resources attorney, in the Aug. 16 Republican congressional district primary and taking an active role in the election, including lobbying Republican Gov. Mark Gordon in March to endorse a bill closing state primaries to \u201ccross-over voting\u201d and staging a May Casper rally for Hageman.<\/p>\n<p>Hageman has ridden that endorsement from Trump to a huge lead in the polls, including a June 15 Mason-Dixon Polling &#038; Strategy\/Casper Star-Tribune survey that found she is leading Cheney by more than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trib.com\/news\/state-and-regional\/govt-and-politics\/the-poll-results-are-in-hageman-holds-commanding-lead-over-cheney\/article_1f33dfe0-02f1-11ed-8202-7befc0111031.html\">22 points.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Hageman is Trump-endorsed, she has not made his claims of a \u201cstolen election\u201d central to her campaign. She has focused on inflation, the economy, energy policy, and the fact that Cheney is rarely in Wyoming, choosing to probe Trump\u2019s role in Jan. 6 events this summer instead of meeting and greeting constituents she is supposed to be representing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Liz Cheney has long forgotten she works for Wyoming (or perhaps she never knew), not the Radical Democrats. Wyoming deserves a Congresswoman who will represent us AND our conservative values.
