Harriet Hageman defeated Liz Cheney, Anthony Bouchard, Robyn Belinskey, and Denton Knapp in the Republican primary for Wyoming's At-large Congressional District on August 16, 2022. According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Cheney, who was first elected to represent this district in 2016, Bouchard, and Hageman led the primary field in fundraising heading into Election Day.

Cheney voted to impeach President Donald Trump (R) on January 13, 2021, for incitement of insurrection in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6. She also voted to support the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Cheney said, “I will do everything I can to make sure the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office…We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language…We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution."^[1]^[2]

In response, the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Wyoming voted to censure Cheney. Cheney was also removed from her leadership position as Republican conference chairwoman in the U.S. House.^[1]^[3]^[4]

Cheney received 73.5% and 67.2% of the vote in the 2020 and 2018 Republican primaries, respectively. A Wyoming Public Media poll conducted by the University of Wyoming from July and August of 2022 showed Hageman leading with 57% of likely voters, compared to 28% for Cheney and 2% for Bouchard. Ten percent of respondents remained undecided.^[5]

Cheney said she is “honored to represent the people of Wyoming and proud of my strong conservative record. I look forward to an extended public debate about the importance of the rule of law…It is tragic that some in this race have sacrificed those principles, and their duty to the people of Wyoming, out of fear and in favor of loyalty to a former president...”^[6] Cheney was endorsed by former President George W. Bush (R), U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney (R), and U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R). Heading into the week of the election, the FEC reported that Cheney raised more than $15 million.^[7]

Hageman founded the Wyoming Conservation Alliance and worked as an attorney and legal consultant. Former President Trump endorsed Hageman on September 13, 2021. Hageman said she was running because “Wyoming is entitled to a representative in Congress who remembers who sent her there and remembers what their wishes are…Liz Cheney is doing neither, and I will do both.”^[6] Hageman worked for Cheney’s unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign in 2014, but said that she is challenging Cheney because of Cheney’s focus on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. In addition to former President Trump, Hageman also received endorsements from over 100 Republican members of the U.S. House. Heading into the week of the election, Hageman had raised nearly $4.5 million.^[8]^[9]

Bouchard served as a Wyoming state senator from 2016 to 2022, representing the state’s 6th district. He founded the Wyoming Gun Owners, an organization that says it is dedicated to "defending and advancing the 2nd Amendment rights of all law-abiding citizens in the state of Wyoming."^[10]

Bouchard called Cheney out of touch with Wyoming voters for voting to impeach President Trump. Bouchard said, “Wyoming was President Trump’s best state both times he ran…That’s because Wyoming voters are strong conservatives who want our leaders to stand up for America, defend our freedoms, fight for our way of life and always put working people first as President Trump did.”^[11] Bouchard was endorsed by conservative activist Brent Bozell. Heading into the week of the election, Bouchard raised more than $600,000 for this primary.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

Cheney said she was “honored to represent the people of Wyoming and proud of my strong conservative record. I look forward to an extended public debate about the importance of the rule of law and the solemn duty of elected officials to uphold their oath to the Constitution. It is tragic that some in this race have sacrificed those principles, and their duty to the people of Wyoming, out of fear and in favor of loyalty to a former president who deliberately misled the American people about the 2020 election, provoked an attack on the U.S. Capitol, and failed to perform his duties as president as the violence ensued.”

Cheney described the former President as a domestic threat and said, “If we embrace the lies of Donald Trump, if we tell the people of Wyoming something that is not true, we will soon find ourselves without the structure and the basis and the framework of our constitutional republic.”

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

According to Bouchard, “A conservative state like Wyoming—should be electing one of the most conservative members of Congress. It’s time to stand up for America, defend our freedoms, fight for our way of life and always put taxpayers first.”

Bouchard said he is running for Congress because, “Our way of life is being threatened by the Socialist way of thinking. It’s time to confront, expose and defeat these radicals before the take away our freedoms and turn America into a weak European-style politically correct welfare state.”

Hageman said that her family’s fortunes rise and fall with Wyoming. “If Wyoming prospers, my family prospers. If Wyoming suffers, my family suffers—just like yours…Liz Cheney has no such relationship to Wyoming. It doesn’t matter whether we succeed or fail. As a globalist and consummate D.C. insider, she always does well.”

Hageman said that Cheney and the press have been obsessed with Jan. 6. “They’re focusing on something that happened 18 months ago, they’re not focusing on the issues that are important to the people in Wyoming…And they’re also ignoring the corruption that is absolutely destroying Washington, D.C., and, as a result, taking down the rest of the country.”

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[24]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[25]^[26]^[27]

Competitiveness

This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Wyoming.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Wyoming in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 11, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eight candidates filed to run for Wyoming's At-Large U.S. House district, including three Democrats and five Republicans. That was three more than the five candidates who ran in 2020 and 2018. Because it only had one U.S. House seat, Wyoming did not need to redistrict after the 2020 census.

The eight candidates who filed to run this year were the most candidates who ran for the U.S. House since 2016, when ten candidates ran.

Incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney (R) filed to run for re-election. Cheney was first elected in 2016, the last year Wyoming’s At-Large seat was open. Both primaries were contested. The last year a Wyoming U.S. House primary wasn’t contested was 2014.
