Cheney drew 35 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hageman, raised on a ranch on the high plains of eastern Wyoming, owns a Cheyenne law firm and has a background in water rights and public lands litigation. She is senior counsel for Washington, D.C-based New Civil Liberties Alliance, focusing on litigation related to environmental regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During her 11-month campaign, she emphasized her Wyoming roots, her background in natural resources policy, and Trump\u2019s endorsement while traveling 40,000 miles in visiting all 23 of the state\u2019s counties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although her campaign collected more than $15 million in contributions, three times more than Hageman garnered, Cheney\u2019s high-profile participation in Jan. 6 proceedings during the summer kept her in Washington, D.C., and in the national spotlight, but not on the campaign<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHEYENNE, Wyo. \u2014 When former President Donald Trump announced in September 2021 that he was supporting Harriet Hageman in challenging Rep.
