Harriet Hageman (R-WY) announced she is running for the U.S. Senate in 2026 to succeed retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis. Hageman, Wyoming&#8217;s lone House member, said she will continue defending constitutional rights and the nation&#8217;s sovereignty, and she emphasized support for former President Trump and an &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda. A water and property-rights attorney and regulatory reform advocate, Hageman rose to national prominence after defeating Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2022 GOP primary.<\/p>\n<p>The Club for Growth PAC quickly endorsed her candidacy, praising her free-market and deregulatory record. Her Senate bid is part of a broader wave of House Republicans pursuing higher office in 2026; several members in safe GOP districts are running for Senate seats or other posts, which <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >generally poses limited risk<\/a> to the party&#8217;s House majority. Notable House members also seeking Senate seats include Wesley Hunt (TX), Ashley Hinson (IA), Barry Moore (AL), Andy Barr (KY), Buddy Carter (GA), and Mike Collins (GA), with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-to-watch-in-florida-wyoming-and-alaska-primaries-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"What to watch in Florida, Wyoming, and ...aska primaries - Washington Examiner\">facing contested primaries<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">House Republican who ousted Liz Cheney launches Senate bid in Wyoming<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2453810\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep.

Most Republicans who are leaving their House seats are doing so in safe red districts, meaning the conference will not need to spend considerable resources to try to hang on to the seat.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4074726\/stefanik-suspends-gubernatorial-campaign-announces-retirement-congress\/\"><strong>STEFANIK SUSPENDS GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN AND ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM CONGRESS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reps.
