怀俄明州共和党人周二选出联邦众议员哈里特·哈格曼(R-WY)作为该州联邦参议员席位的共和党候选人,以接替即将退休的共和党参议员辛西娅·拉米斯。

拉米斯2020年当选参议员,此前曾在众议院任职四届,她此前宣布不会寻求连任,这使得这个全美最可靠的共和党票仓之一的参议院席位出现空缺。

哈格曼在五人共和党初选中胜出,其他候选人包括前柯比市市长萨姆·米德、吉尔·爱德华兹、约翰·霍尔茨以及前环境服务企业老板吉米·斯科夫加德。

作为全国支持率最高的红州,哈格曼作为该州知名度最高、筹款能力最强的候选人参选。她此次意在晋升参议院。

唐纳德·特朗普总统此前曾背书哈格曼2022年成功击败前众议员利兹·切尼的怀俄明州众议院共和党初选竞选,此次也再次为其背书。

现任怀俄明州唯一联邦众议员的哈格曼,正处于第二个任期,她因击败切尼而在全国声名鹊起。

2022年,切尼成为特朗普的头号抨击目标,此前她与众议院共和党同僚、伊利诺伊州众议员亚当·金辛格一道,担任国会山1月6日骚乱调查委员会的两名共和党委员之一,金辛格当年并未寻求连任。

这位被罢免的怀俄明州众议员、副总统迪克·切尼之女,成为特朗普最突出的共和党批评者之一。

哈格曼接下来将在11月3日的大选中对阵民主党候选人——不过鉴于怀俄明州根深蒂固的红色底色,这个联邦众议员席位几乎不可能在今年转向蓝营。

这个全州单一选区席位被两党库克政治报告评级为共和党安全席位,共和党优势为23个百分点,是本届选举周期所有参议院竞选中优势最大的。

此次参议院席位竞选是怀俄明州政治领导层非同寻常的大规模换届的一部分。

这是32年来该州首次在同一选举周期内同时出现州长、联邦参议员和联邦众议员的空缺席位竞选。

Wyoming Republicans chose Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wy., on Tuesday as their nominee for U.S. Senate in the race to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis.

Lummis, elected to the Senate in 2020 after serving four terms in the U.S. House , announced she would not seek a second term, opening the seat in one of the nation’s most reliably Republican states.

Hageman emerged from a five-way Republican primary featuring former Kirby Mayor Sam Mead, Jill Edwards, John Holtz and former environmental services business owner Jimmy Skovgard.

Hageman, in the country’s most red state based on registered voter percentage, entered the race as the best-known and best-funded candidate in the field. She is seeking a promotion to the upper chamber.

President Donald Trump endorsed Hageman after also backing her successful 2022 campaign to unseat former Rep. Liz Cheney in Wyoming’s Republican House primary.

Now serving her second term as Wyoming’s lone U.S. House member, Hageman rose to national prominence with her victory over Cheney.

Cheney became Trump’s biggest target in 2022 after she served as one of the only two Republicans on the House Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riots alongside fellow GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-IL, who did not seek reelection that year.

The ousted Wyoming congresswoman, daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, become one of Trump’s most prominent Republican critics.

Hageman will now face the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 3 general election — though with Wyoming’s deep red roots, it’s highly unlikely the single U.S. House seat will flip blue this year.

The at-large seat is ranked by the bipartisan Cook Political Report as solidly Republican with a R+23, the best odds of any Senate race this election cycle.

The Senate contest is part of an unusually large turnover in Wyoming’s political leadership.

For the first time in 32 years, the state has open races for governor, U.S. Senate and U.S. House in the same election cycle.
