Heading into the election, the incumbent was Harriet Hageman (Republican), who was first elected in 2022.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Wyoming utilizes a closed primary process.[1][2]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

This page focuses on Wyoming's Democratic primary for the U.S. House. For more in-depth information on the state's Republican primary and the general election, see the following pages:

Submitted Biography "I have been an activist for as long as I can remember, practically from the time I could almost reach the buttons on a voting machine. My political awakening came early, sparked by the sight of my mother and other volunteers at the polling station in my elementary school. Watching the ebb of voters, feeling the pulse of democracy in action—it left an indelible mark on my young heart and mind. My parents were campaigners, hosting events to introduce folks to the candidates and drum up voter enthusiasm. In my childhood household, discussions on current topics and political debates were common; and amidst the passionate exchanges, there was always, for me, a lesson in finding common ground, in making peace. Childhood for me wasn't just about playgrounds; it was about pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, and soaking in the energy of campaign events. Fast forward to today, and I find myself unable to settle into a chair. There's a fire in my belly that refuses to be extinguished, a conviction that now, more than ever, standing up is the only option. Because in a world where sitting idly by feels like a betrayal of everything I believe in, inertia just doesn't cut it anymore. As I tune into the happenings of the US House of Representatives, I'm left astounded by the glaring absence of decorum, cooperation, and genuine concern for upholding the U.S. Constitution. It's disheartening to witness what appears to be a chamber engulfed in chaos and crisis."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


Reproductive rights: Expanding on reproductive rights involves recognizing and advocating for the comprehensive spectrum of individual choices and freedoms related to reproductive health. Advocating for individual reproductive choice, freedoms, and rights means championing a world where everyone has the resources, knowledge, and power to make autonomous decisions about their reproductive health. It requires a holistic approach that addresses the legal, social, and economic factors influencing access to reproductive health services and recognizes the inherent dignity and autonomy of each individual in making these deeply personal decisions.


Healthcare: In order to uphold the principles outlined in our constitution, ensuring equal access to healthcare is an essential foundational measure. Healthcare ought to be recognized as a fundamental human right. Expanding healthcare to ensure affordability, accessibility, dental care, research, and the inclusion of mental health services is not just a matter of policy—it's a reflection of our values as a society. By committing to these measures, we can work towards a healthcare system that upholds the dignity and rights of every individual, aligning with the foundational principles of equality and justice enshrined in our constitution.


Protections for workers: The worker's struggle remains a daunting challenge. With the chance to escape bad bosses, workers now have more power than ever to assert: "I may work here, but that doesn't entitle you to mistreat me." I advocate for increased protection and financial aid for workers pursuing justice. This will elevate working conditions, enhancing both the mental and physical well-being of workers and boosting productivity by ensuring they have recourse when they and their families are subject to adverse working conditions and threats.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Wyoming in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 23, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Three candidates ran for Wyoming’s one U.S. House district, including one Democrat and two Republicans. Nine candidates ran in 2022, five candidates ran in 2020, and five ran in 2018.

The three candidates who ran in Wyoming in 2024 was the fewest number of candidates since 2014, when three candidates ran.

Wyoming's At-Large Congressional District was not open in 2024 because incumbent Rep. Harriet Hageman (R) ran for re-election. The only election year that the district was open in the last 10 years was 2016.

The Democratic primary is uncontested this year. The last time that the Democratic primary was uncontested was 2014. The Republican primary has been contested every year since 2014.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries, meaning the seat was not guaranteed to either party.
