I live in Cheyenne and have lived there for 2 years consecutively. I have lived in Wyoming for nearly 54 years. I worked out-of-state from 2022-2024. I was born in Wyoming.

I am a 5th generation Wyomingite, mom, educator, and conservative leader. Raised in Gillette, I grew up in a community powered by energy, agriculture, and hard work. From an early age I understood that strong schools, good jobs, and responsible resource development create opportunities for families and communities.

I am a UW graduate and taught school in Hulett for 8 years. My husband and I raised our 2 children in Thermopolis and Cheyenne. I am a proud FFA and Army mom.

I served 7 years as Wyoming’s elected State Superintendent and prioritized accountability, transparency, fiscal responsibility, and workforce readiness. In 2022, I joined Governor Glenn Youngkin's fight to end radical ideology in schools, restore high expectations for students, and empower parents. I remain a national leader in education and currently work to return education to states.

I am a proud defender of the Second Amendment, 100% pro-life, and a strong supporter of military members and veterans.

I am in Wyoming communities every day, listening.

First, people feel pinched by the high prices of everything, especially energy, gas, healthcare, and housing. Second, we want opportunities to exist for the next generation. Third, people are excited, and also nervous, about energy growth. Fourth, our freedoms must be protected.

As Congresswoman, I’ll fight government growth, spending, taxing, and overreach. I’ll continue to repeal regulations that kneecap our energy industry, including permitting burdens, litigation, and federal management of our assets. I’ll continue work to bring education back to the states and healthcare back to the patient. I’ll advocate for the Wyoming Way every day.

I’ll support programs and laws that make Wyoming stronger. The PERMIT and SPEED Acts must get to the President’s desk. The SAVE America Act must pass. I’ll bring opportunities to our state so that entrepreneurs, producers, innovators, small businesses, and communities across our state thrive.

Wyoming faces distinct healthcare hurdles: expansive healthcare deserts, provider shortages, and rising costs. As your Congresswoman, I’ll lead and support federal policy to expand access and lower costs for Wyoming.

First, we must bridge the access gap by expanding telehealth, positioning Wyoming as a leader. Second, we must fortify our healthcare workforce pipeline. To build on my work as State Superintendent by expanding career and technical education, I will champion federal workforce grants for healthcare training. I’ll also work to optimize the H-1B visa program.

Healthcare affordability requires prioritizing the doctor-patient relationship over bureaucracy. I’ll advocate to expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and innovative healthcare coverage. I’ll fight to simplify Medicare, stripping away administrative complexity for seniors.

I've always believed that influence matters more than power. Real influence is earned through listening, relationship-building, and follow-through, not cable news appearances or partisan grandstanding.

As Wyoming’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, I learned quickly that the best outcomes came when I genuinely listened, even with people with whom I disagreed. Working with legislators, local school districts, educators, and communities across Wyoming, we made meaningful change because we focused on what Wyoming needed, not who gained political points.

That's exactly the approach I'll take in Congress. I'm not interested in sound bites. I'm interested in results for Wyoming. Especially on infrastructure, housing, healthcare, inflation, government reform, and election integrity, there is common ground to be found.

Wyoming doesn't need another loud voice in Washington. We need an experienced state and national leader who is accountable to the people of our state.

The Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes are an integral part of Wyoming's past, present, and future.

As Wyoming’s State Superintendent, I led historic work to pass the Indian Education for All Act in 2017. This required all schools in Wyoming to teach the history, culture, and contributions of the Tribes. Once passed, I worked with tribal leaders, educators, historians, and Wyoming PBS to develop curriculum for our schools. Throughout my entire tenure, I spent time on the Wind River Reservation, in schools and communities. Together we worked on improving outcomes for students.

As Wyoming’s Congresswoman, I’ll lead with the same commitment. I’ll ensure tribal voices are heard on all issues, especially those that directly affect the Reservation. As I have in the past, I’ll engage in government-to-government relationships that honor treaty obligations and tribal sovereignty.

Our public lands are a treasure, an economic engine, and our way of life. I oppose the wholesale sale or exchange of public lands. Doing so would be a generational mistake that would ruin our way of life and decimate our prosperity.

As State Superintendent, I was a member of the State Land Board and voted in favor of land exchanges and partial sales of state trust lands. When landowners, stakeholders, and leaders come together in good faith, there is almost always a win-win. We freed locked land for public use, extended parcels for ranchers, and grew opportunity. As your Congresswoman, I will position Wyoming as the decision-maker for management, conservation, and use of our public lands.

My family’s livelihood in Gillette depended on the boom and bust of energy development on public lands. I have spent my life hunting and recreating on our public lands. I have a deep and generational understanding of this issue and I will always fight to preserve lands, access, and prosperity.

President Trump promised to secure our borders and deport illegal immigrants. Thankfully, he has delivered on that promise. In 2025, net immigration was negative for the first time since the 1970s. He also promised to deport dangerous criminals, end asylum for illegal immigrants, and end taxpayer benefits for people in the U.S. illegally. Trump has executed these promises and regrouped efforts when needed. This should have been the standard all along.

Wyoming’s Congressional delegation maintains a strict stance on border security and illegal immigration. I will do the same. Congresswoman Hageman’s work to ensure our roads are safe from illegal truck drivers is commendable, and I will continue the work. Wyoming and America are strengthened by immigrants who came here legally. Our heritage is worth protecting. It begins with a secure border and an immigration system that is fair and enforced.
