Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman will serve as Chairwoman of the Anti-Woke Caucus, a prominent group within the House of Representatives dedicated to fighting the growing influence of "woke" ideologies in government, business, and society. She will be taking over from Senator-elect Jim Banks, whose leadership in this crucial fight has been exemplary. Said Chairman Banks: “Harriet Hageman has played a critical role in our caucus since day one, and I can think of no one better to lead our members as they work alongside the Trump administration. We are winning the war against wokeness, and Republicans in Congress now have a golden opportunity to defeat it once and for all. I look forward to partnering with the Anti-Woke Caucus as a United States Senator to get the job done.” The Anti-Woke Caucus of the 119th Congress will be at the forefront of carrying out the mandate handed to us by American voters in the November 5th elections, where pro-Trump voters demanded a return to American values and a decisive end to the spread of radical leftist ideologies. With a clear directive in hand, we are ready to work alongside President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to implement policies that align with the will of the people. Our mission is simple: dismantle the influence of far-left bureaucrats who have hijacked our government, education, and corporations, and return control to the American people. The Anti-Woke Caucus will champion personal liberty, free speech, and fiscal responsibility while actively fighting back against progressive cultural overreach. With DOGE, we will root out the remnants of the leftist agenda still poisoning our institutions and ensure that the true values of America are upheld. “I am proud to assume the role of Chairwoman of the Anti-Woke Caucus and continue our fight against the harmful overreach of left-wing policies,” said Congresswoman Hageman. “Under the Biden-Harris Administration, government, educational institutions, and even corporations bent to th… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-favor-america-relief-act-2024 Hageman Votes in Favor of the America Relief Act of 2024 2024-12-20 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman announced her support for the America Relief Act of 2024, the latest Continuing Resolution (CR), a critical step forward in delivering real results for the American people and setting the stage for the Republican trifecta in 2025. Initially, the bill was no CR at all—just a bloated omnibus package stuffed with Democrat-led poison pills and reckless spending that prioritized leftist activist political agendas over the needs of American families. But through strategic collaboration with House Republicans, these wasteful provisions were removed, handing the Republican-controlled Congress a clean slate to begin rolling back harmful regulations and working with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce government waste. With this bill, Republicans now have the opportunity to take back control of the nation's spending and focus on the policies that truly matter to American families, instead of being bogged down by the unnecessary and politically motivated waste of the Biden-Harris Administration. In addition to these crucial reforms, the America Relief Act prevents the expiration of the Farm Bill and brings over $100 million in relief for Wyoming’s farmers and ranchers who faced devastating wildfires and droughts this year. Congresswoman Hageman stated, “I refused to support the first version of this bill, and so did many of my colleagues, because it looked more like a liberal’s Christmas list than a continuing resolution. It was a bloated Democrat-driven spending spree with leftist political agendas at its core. We eliminated wasteful provisions to keep the government open without caving to those boondoggles. This is a win for Wyoming, and a win for the American people. We’ve set the stage to roll back harmful regulations in 2025, cut wasteful spending, and ensure the priorities you voted for on November 5th take center stage in the new year.” Background: The initial “CR” was a 1,547 omnibus that, among other things, included a one-year reauthorization… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-fights-back-against-bidens-weaponization-face-act Hageman Fights Back Against Biden's Weaponization of the FACE Act 2024-12-19 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Yesterday, during a formal Congressional hearing, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman condemned the Biden administration’s blatant misuse of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act to target peaceful pro-life advocates. This is part of Congresswoman Hageman’s consistent fight for life and builds on legislation she cosponsored with Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) to repeal the FACE Act and end this politically motivated, anti-religion prosecution. While Biden’s Department of Justice has prioritized the prosecution of non-violent pro-life advocates, it selectively fails to protect religious institutions and pro-life facilities from harassment and violence. This discriminatory enforcement of the FACE Act is what empowers antisemitic, pro-Hamas supporters to attack Jewish community centers with no consequences. It undermines the principles of fairness, justice, and religious liberty for all that our nation was built upon. “Those who hate wisdom love death, and the Biden-Harris pro-abortion agenda only confirms that adage. They have pursued this anti-life agenda through the weaponization of the FACE Act to chip away at religious freedom,” said Congresswoman Hageman. “They have empowered radical anti-life extremists to vandalize religious institutions without consequence, while at the same time targeting peaceful pro-life advocates. This double standard is an outrageous abuse of power. I am on the side of life and the American people, and I will keep fighting to restore fairness, justice, and the rule of law. I’m proud to join my pro-life colleagues in co-sponsoring legislation to repeal the FACE Act.” Background: The FACE Act, enacted in 1994, was intended to protect access to reproductive health facilities and places of worship equally. The Department of Justice, under President Biden, has weaponized this law to silence those who pray and advocate for life outside abortion clinics, while turning a blind eye to real violence against pro-life organizations and churches. Cases like that of Paul … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-introduces-legislation-protect-wyomings-jobs-and-energy-bidens Hageman Introduces Legislation to Protect Wyoming’s Jobs and Energy from Biden’s Favoritism 2024-12-19 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced legislation to protect Wyoming’s energy industry and jobs from the federal government’s continued weaponization of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Congresswoman Hageman’s bill automatically disqualifies certain decisions from being classified as “major federal actions” under NEPA to ensure that new coal, critical mineral, and fluid mineral leases are not subject to disproportionately onerous NEPA requirements. This bill establishes greater regulatory parity between Wyoming’s legacy industries and the Biden-Harris Administration’s preferred industries. This legislation takes the formula that other industries have used to carve themselves out of onerous NEPA processes and applies it to Wyoming oil, gas, coal, and critical minerals. The CHIPS and Science Act, signed into law in 2022, authorized $280 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and included NEPA carveouts that expedite projects for these administration-favored industries. At the same time, however, conservatives in Congress have faced repeated obstacles to reform NEPA to grant America’s energy sector similar privileges. Congresswoman Hageman’s new legislation seeks to bring comparable regulatory relief to certain extraction industries that are vital to Wyoming’s economy, to national security, and to providing affordable and reliable energy for everyone in America, thereby ensuring that these sectors are not held back by excessive regulations. “While the Biden Administration has created carveouts to further his agenda, it has weaponized NEPA against Wyoming’s legacy industries, such as coal, oil, and gas,” said Congresswoman Hageman. “My legislation levels the playing field, ensuring that reliable energy projects aren’t singled out for unnecessarily long environmental analysis. It’s time to put an end to the government picking winners and losers. The Biden Administration’s NEPA process has been used to benefit its allies while leaving hardworking Wyoming families… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-announced-chair-rsc-article-one-task-force-0 Hageman Announced as Chair of the RSC Article One Task Force 2024-12-18 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Yesterday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman-elect of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), appointed Congresswoman Harriet Hageman to chair the Article One Task Force. In this role, Congresswoman Hageman will lead efforts to restore Congress's constitutional authority and combat executive overreach, building on the Loper Mandate established by the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overturned the Chevron deference doctrine. “I am pleased to announce Representative Harriet Hageman as the new Chair of the Article I Task Force,” said RSC Chairman-elect Pfluger. “An experienced litigator of over thirty years, Harriet has dedicated her life to standing up to federal overreach and fighting back against the unelected bureaucratic state. Her expertise in protecting private property and water rights makes her the ideal choice to lead the fight in restoring our Constitutional powers. I look forward to working alongside Congresswoman Hageman to advance our conservative agenda with President Trump in the White House.” The Article One Task Force will focus on policies aimed at reasserting Congress's constitutional role, combating executive overreach, and ensuring that administrative agencies are held accountable to the people they serve. In the coming months, the Task Force will work on crafting legislation to restrict the scope of agency rulemaking and prevent the rise of a regulatory state that operates outside the bounds of congressional intent. The Article One Task Force will also play a critical role in advancing the Loper Mandate decision that marked a pivotal moment in rolling back the expansion of the administrative state by affirming that courts should no longer blindly defer to federal agencies' interpretations of statutes when they involve matters of significant economic or political importance. The Task Force will work to ensure that the principles laid out in Article One of the Constitution are fully integrated into legislative practices,… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/bill-cosponsored-hageman-rein-last-minute-executive-regulation-passes-house Bill Cosponsored by Hageman to Rein in Last-Minute Executive Regulation Passes in House 2024-12-17 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman cosponsored the Midnight Rules Relief Act, which passed in the House today. This legislation is designed to strengthen congressional oversight and prevent federal bureaucrats from rushing through a flood of regulations during the final year of a presidential term. It also empowers the incoming majority to swiftly overturn the onslaught of last-minute regulations imposed by outgoing administrations. This ensures that newly elected lawmakers can quickly roll back burdensome regulations, providing immediate relief to Americans from damaging Biden-era policies. Under current law, the Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows Congress to disapprove executive agency rules through joint resolutions. However, the CRA requires Congress to consider each rule individually, a process that slows oversight and leaves Congress unable to effectively respond to the surge of regulations—often referred to as “midnight rulemaking”—that occurs at the end of a president’s term. The Midnight Rules Relief Act addresses this inefficiency by allowing Congress to bundle multiple rules issued during the president’s final year and consider them together. This reform ensures that Congress can efficiently review and disapprove last-minute regulations that could otherwise burden American businesses and families. Representative Hageman stated, “This Midnight Rules Relief Act strips power from the bloated, unaccountable administrative state and returns it to Congress. It equips lawmakers to fight back against outgoing federal bureaucrats rushing through burdensome regulations, fully aware of the harm these rules will cause Americans. It helps restore balance, transparency, and accountability to the regulatory process, ensuring that the American people—not faceless agency officials—determine the rules that govern their lives.” Background Enacted in 1996, the Congressional Review Act requires executive agencies to report all new rules to Congress. These rules are not law passed by Congress— they’re re… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-demands-answers-faa-increase-drone-activity Hageman Demands Answers from FAA on Increase in Drone Activity 2024-12-16 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman called on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide immediate transparency and accountability regarding the surge of unidentified, unmanned aerial system (UAS) sightings near sensitive military sites and across the country, including reports from Wyoming. The current situation is reminiscent of the Biden administration's mishandling of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) high-altitude surveillance balloon earlier this year. In that incident, the balloon traversed the entire continental United States, including Wyoming, before decisive action was taken. The failure to respond swiftly to potential threats undermines public confidence in the federal government’s ability to protect national airspace and sovereignty. Congresswoman Hageman expressed deep concern over the FAA’s lack of transparency and action, stating, “The increase in drone activity across the U.S. is alarming. The Biden administration failed to act when we had a Chinese Communist Party spy balloon cross our nation, and they are failing to act now. Either they don’t know what these drones are, or they’re deliberately keeping their origins from the American people. Both possibilities are deeply concerning. Regardless, the federal government owes us an explanation. Transparency and accountability are not optional when it comes to the safety of our airspace and national security. I am pushing the FAA to deliver the answers the American people deserve.” In addition to the sightings near the Eastern U.S., Hageman noted that her constituents in Wyoming have reported similar drone activity. Despite federal agencies downplaying the potential threat, these sightings near military and critical infrastructure demand immediate answers and action. Background Over the past several weeks, numerous UAS sightings were reported across the Eastern United States, including New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. These drones are described as being of unusual size and design, … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-introduces-bill-strengthen-parental-rights-education Hageman Introduces Bill to Strengthen Parental Rights in Education 2024-12-16 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Last week, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced the Parental Oversight and Educational Transparency legislation designed to bolster parental rights in education and ensure every parent knows what’s going on in their child’s school. The best way to protect our children is to empower their parents – and that begins with strong parental consent rights. Current law requires schools to notify parents annually about activities involving the collection, disclosure, or use of personal student information, as well as surveys containing sensitive questions or non-emergency, invasive physical examinations. However, despite the law being clear as to what is required, violations of these requirements continue to occur. In a recent case, the Department of Education found that the Cedar Grove School District in New Jersey failed to provide proper notice or the opportunity for parents to opt their children out of “equity” and “diversity” surveys. The Parental Oversight and Educational Transparency Act addresses these ongoing issues by mandating that schools not only provide annual notification at the beginning of the school year but also directly notify parents and obtain written consent at least two weeks before these activities take place. This ensures parents receive clear, actionable information and have a meaningful opportunity to protect their children’s privacy. Representative Hageman stated, “Parental rights are fundamental to our republic, and they have a right to know when their children’s personal information is being collected or when they are subjected to invasive surveys. Our teachers do great work, but some bureaucrats pushing socially liberal agendas are deliberately sidelining parents in the education process. Empowered by federal overreach, agenda-driven school officials are more focused on controlling your kids than respecting your rights as parents. This bill ensures transparency and puts power back where it belongs—with families, not bureaucrats or activist educators. Background The… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-calls-biden-administration-release-overdue-fall-2024-unified-agenda Hageman Calls on Biden Administration to Release Overdue Fall 2024 Unified Agenda 2024-12-11 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman called on the Biden Administration to release the Fall 2024 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions, which is now two months overdue. The delay in publishing this key document undermines transparency, hampers Congressional oversight, and raises concern that President Biden is interfering with the presidential transition. As required by Executive Order 12866, the Unified Agenda is a biannual publication that provides the American people, Congress, and regulated industries with a clear picture of the Administration’s regulatory priorities and upcoming actions. Traditionally released in October, the Fall Unified Agenda is essential for maintaining good governance, regulatory clarity, and accountability. Congresswoman Hageman stated, “The Biden-Harris Administration’s failure to release the Fall Unified Agenda raises serious questions about what they are trying to hide from the American people. Wyoming’s hardworking families, ranchers, and small business owners deserve to know what new regulatory burdens are coming their way. This lack of transparency undermines good governance and denies us the ability to prepare for what’s next. As we approach the Trump-Vance Administration’s transition, I can only assume that this delay is an attempt to hinder the incoming leadership’s ability to clean up the regulatory mess left behind. I urge the Biden Administration to follow the law, uphold the principles of transparent governance, and immediately release the Fall 2024 Unified Agenda.” Background Issued in 1993, Executive Order 12866 provides for the publication of the Unified Agenda every spring and fall. The Unified Agenda helps the President organize the executive branch’s regulatory priorities and ensures that the Office of Management and Budget can coordinate and review regulatory actions. Without the Unified Agenda, regulated industries lack the necessary information to prepare, budget, and comply with upcoming regulations. This delay is especially … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z
https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-introduces-bill-protect-small-businesses-overbearing-bureaucratic Hageman Introduces Bill to Protect Small Businesses from Overbearing Bureaucratic Regulations 2024-12-03 2024 2024-12 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced the Regulatory Cooling Off Act, legislation designed to slow the onslaught of burdensome federal regulations and protect small businesses from overbearing government mandates. As written, current law does little to protect small businesses from government agencies imposing rushed regulatory timelines that unfairly burden business owners. The Regulatory Cooling Off Act provides businesses with an extended timeline to comply with or challenge regulations while requiring government agencies to adopt a more deliberate approach, preventing them from forcing businesses into hasty compliance. Representative Hageman stated, “The Biden-Harris Administration has weaponized outdated regulatory laws to fuel unprecedented growth in the administrative state. This has allowed government bureaucrats to impose regulations on small business owners at an unsustainable pace, burdening small businesses with financial uncertainty and excessive costs. The Regulatory Cooling Off Act introduces critical reforms to slow the regulatory process, enhance regulatory transparency, and establish a fairer review system. It ensures that businesses—especially small ones—have the time and tools they need to comply with or challenge rules that threaten their livelihoods.” Background Under the Biden-Harris Administration federal regulatory costs have soared, with Americans now paying over $2.1 trillion annually to comply with federal regulations. This amounts to a hidden regulatory tax of $15,788 per U.S. household, which consumes 17% of household income and 22% of household expenses, straining families and small businesses alike. The outdated Administrative Procedure Act, enacted in 1946 and largely unchanged since, has enabled the rapid growth of a politically driven administrative state. During its tenure, the Biden-Harris Administration has imposed $1.7 trillion in additional regulatory costs—more than 50% of the combined regulatory burden from all prior administrations.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today Congresswoman Harriet Hageman applauded the complaint filed by the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to stop the implementation of a rule mandating EID eartags for cattle and bison being transported across state lines. The lawsuit argues that USDA does not have the authority to mandate EID eartags or to enforce such a rule, and that USDA failed to properly account for the rule’s impact on small producers, despite being required to do so by federal law. Representative Hageman stated, “USDA simply does not have the authority to mandate the use of EID eartags. This is an unreasonably expensive unfunded mandate that will lead to the elimination of small producers, vertical integration of our livestock and meat supply, put herds and ranches at risk through invasive Freedom of Information Act requests, and imposes an unbearable cost burden on all but the largest corporate producers. I applaud NCLA and the food freedom movement for challenging this unlawful regulation.” Background: Rep. Hageman is leading the Congressional effort to support America’s ranchers and block this rule, and has: Filed an amendment to the FY24 and FY25 USDA spending bills to block federal funds from supporting the rule’s implementation. Argued before the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs prior to the implementation of the final rule. Written three op-eds describing the threats and consequences of such a mandate and countless radio and television interviews with networks across the country. Most recently, Rep. Hageman introduced a joint resolution pursuant to the Congressional Review Act which would rescind this awful mandatory EID rule. The resolution has been jointly sponsored in the Senate by Cynthia Lummis. ### Contact: Chris Berardi, Sr. Advisor/Communications Director 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman cosponsored a House Resolution condemning President Biden’s remarks referring to President Trump’s supporters as ‘‘garbage’’. Representative Hageman stated, “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are no longer hiding their disdain for more than half the country. Sadly, these are not “just words” – they reflect their contempt for the citizens of this country, while confirming that their willingness to pursue incredibly harmful policies over the last 4 years is due to their dislike for millions of Americans. Examples of their harmful policies are legion, but include weaponizing the government to silence those with differing views from sharing their voice on social media, attending church services, or speaking out during school board meetings; erasing America’s borders to import well over 12,000,000 illegals, and providing them with money, housing, food and other services that our very own citizens cannot afford; and unleashing a crime wave in our cities. When name calling doesn’t suffice, Biden and Harris are forcing Americans to the unemployment line by overregulating industries such as mining, oil & gas production, and ranching out of business.” ### Contact: Chris Berardi, Sr. Advisor/Communications Director 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman, joined by Senators Cynthia Lummis, R-WY, Rand Paul, R-KY, and Ron Wyden, D-OR, and Representatives Dan Bishop, R-NC, Thomas Massie, R-KY, and Nikema Williams, D-GA, filed an amicus brief in the case of Martin v United States, a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) challenge against the U.S. due to a wrongful raid conducted by the FBI. Representative Hageman stated, “When the government infringes upon a citizen’s Constitutional rights there must be methods of redress for those who were wronged. The FBI clearly violated the Fourth Amendment rights of Ms. Martin and her family, and it is critically important that they have legal redress. Congress has provided Americans with an avenue to protect their individual natural, including those and victims of wrongful federal law enforcement raids. Courts have no right to ignore those protections in order to arbitrarily grant immunity to the FBI, and in doing so in this case the appellate judges have blatantly subverted the laws enacted by Congress. The FBI must be held accountable for the physical and emotional damages it inflicted by wrongfully raiding Curtrina Martin’s home.” Background: In 2017, as part of an anti-gang operation, FBI agents executed a warrant for a specific gang member, raiding the wrong home of Curtrina Martin. Martin, her child, and boyfriend were awoken when agents detonated a flash grenade and ripped the door off its hinges. Her boyfriend was handcuffed, and Martin held at gunpoint. After the FBI noticed it was at the wrong address, the agents ended the raid without explanation. Congress enacted the FTCA in 1946 to allow U.S. persons to sue the federal government for torts, including harms that result in legal liability, committed by persons acting on behalf of the government. Congress expanded this accountability measure in the 1970s to address federal law enforcement actions in response to a series of wrongful drug raids on innocent persons. Ms. Martin filed for redress against the United States… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman announced that members of her staff will participate in the House of Representatives Election Observer Program. The Election Observer Program will deploy congressional observers to election sites across the country in order to record on-the-ground, factual information for use during elections contests or seating battles and for other purposes. Representative Hageman stated, “Earlier this year, the House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act, which I cosponsored, to require states to obtain proof of citizenship—in person—when registering an individual to vote, as well as to require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. The Chuck Schumer-led Senate failed to take up the bill. “To safeguard election integrity, we must use all means available to us. That is why my office is participating in the House Election Observer Program. Faith in our electoral process is the bedrock of our system of government. It is vital that every legal vote is counted, fraudulent voting is detected and reported, and proper chain of custody procedures for ballots are carefully followed at polling locations.” Background from the Committee on House Administration: As of today, House Republicans have over 200 Republican congressional staffers signed up to participate from over 60 Member and Leadership offices and 12 full and subcommittees. The 2024 Election Observer Program is the most robust election integrity effort in House of Representatives history. As the issue of election integrity continues to rise to the forefront in voters’ minds, this program is more important than ever to ensure every lawful vote is counted in free, fair, and secure elections where the stakes are highest, including in races with serious election administration issues and in battleground districts where the majority is on the line. ### Contact: Chris Berardi, Sr. Advisor/Communications Director 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced the Protecting Agricultural Spaces Through Effective Ranching Strategies (PASTURES) Act which will safeguard landowners with property adjacent to federally leased land from federal enforcement actions related to livestock trespassing. “The Biden-Harris Administration continues to reduce grazing opportunities for livestock producers who hold federal grazing leases. This administration is making it increasingly difficult for ranchers on public and private lands to adjust to sudden changes in allocations - often creating circumstances where livestock cross into unfenced land, which ultimately results in heavy penalties for the rancher. My bill will prohibit federal land management agencies from enforcing a trespass after permits or leases are adjusted or rescinded - until the relevant land management agency constructs a fence to keep the livestock out.” Hageman stated. “Livestock grazing is an important land management tool that we should be using more, not less, on our federal lands. This legislation would help ranchers while also requiring our agencies to be better neighbors on our public lands by applying these appropriate fencing protocols.” Margaret Byfield, Executive Director of American Stewards of Liberty, stated “The Pasture Act will prevent the misuse of regulatory authorities by federal land management agencies and increase protections for American landowners. It is common for allotments on federal lands to be unfenced even when bordering other properties. These operations were designed to have as few barriers as possible to facilitate open corridors for livestock and wildlife. Yet, this responsible stewardship practice can too easily be used to entrap landowners when unfenced allotments are canceled by the agency. Congress needs to reign in federal agencies powers, and this Act is a key step towards this end." The PASTURES Act provides ranchers with the security and stability needed to continue their operations after significant federal… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC - Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined with Senators Mike Lee (R-UT), Mitt Romney (R-UT), and Representatives John Curtis, (UT-03), Celeste Maloy (UT-02), Blake Moore (UT-01) and Burgess Owens (UT-04) in filing an amicus brief advocating that the Supreme Court hear the complaint in Utah v U.S., the case challenging the federal government’s ownership of unappropriated land in Utah. Representative Hageman stated, “The federal burden in the West infringes on our sovereignty and undermines our equality with the States, all in direct violation of the Constitution. This ownership serves no purpose other than to inflict bad management policies which lock up lands from productive use. Although this brief only relates to Utah, it is an argument that could have far reaching benefits for all western states, including Wyoming, where 48% of all surface lands are owned by the feds.” What our brief argues: The Constitution and subsequent federal law places disputes between the States and the federal government in the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and it has no discretion to refuse such a case Even if the Court had such discretion, this is an extraordinarily important Constitutional question regarding state sovereignty, federalism, separation of powers, and equality between the States requiring the Courts review The Court should compel the U.S. to return to Utah control over its land. The federal government’s possession of large swaths of unappropriated land in Utah in perpetuity and disconnected from enumerated powers denies Utah basic sovereign authorities such as taxation, exercising of eminent domain, or even regulation. The federal government’s indefinite retention of lands in western states denies them equal statehood and representation. Not only does this give western states an uneven level of sovereignty, but it also hurts Congressional representation as delegations must focus on federal land management issues in a matter other state delegations do not have to. ### Contact: Chris Ber… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Hageman introduced the Expedited Appeals Review Act (EARA), which provides entities before the Department of the Interior’s Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) the opportunity to file for an expedited review so they can quickly go to court in front of a neutral arbiter. Under current law, challengers of an agency decision within the Department of Interior (DOI), must appeal to the IBLA, an administrative court that is also housed within the DOI. The use of administrative courts pose a variety of constitutional issues, including in relation to the separation of powers, as the agencies who adopt the regulations seek to enforce them through their in-house court system, such as the IBLA. Over 90% of these cases are typically resolved in the agency’s favor, while often taking years for the case to be decided. “We are a government ‘of, by and for the people’ and every agency and their employees should be accountable to the people. It is no wonder that the current construct of in-house courts ruling on cases where the agency’s policies are in question tend to fall on the side of the government almost exclusively. “In my 3 decades of practicing law I witnessed cases argued before agency-appointed judges on numerous occasions and then waited as the IBLA delayed issuing a decision. Not only does this leave the non-agency party in limbo as to the outcome of their case, but also costs them significantly in potential fees and penalties waiting for their cases to be considered. “This broken system needs to be fixed so that American citizens and companies have a fighting chance against the DOI’s ongoing agenda against our legacy industries. My bill gives these parties the opportunity to expedite the process and pursue an impartial route in those circumstances where the IBLA is refusing to timely address the matter in front of it. The Expedited Appeals Review Act ensures that if IBLA fails to make a decision within 18 months of the appeal being filed, the applicant can demand an expedited re… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced legislation that would require the Bureau of Reclamation to analyze the economic consequences of drawing from the customer-funded Basin Fund to implement the experimental actions called for in the July 2024 SEIS Record of Decision – which would result in Reclamation having to incorporate these costs into its annual budgeting. Representative Hageman stated, “Once again, misguided policy is driving up the cost of energy for Western states – in this case for hydropower. There will be significant costs associated with cutting hydropower generation at Glen Canyon Dam to address smallmouth bass below the dam, to be paid for by utility customers. These costs are draining the customer-funded Basin Fund, from which operations, maintenance, and other expenses are paid, further exacerbating the challenge. Taxpayers are again left to pay for the consequences of unsound endangered species and climate policies.” Background: The Biden-Harris Administration’s Colorado River Long Term Experimental Management Plan SEIS Record of Decision (ROD) was signed on July 5, 2024, with Reclamation implementation beginning just 3 days later, on July 8. The ROD calls for bypass flows at Glen Canyon Dam, meaning higher flows to combat the presence of predatory smallmouth bass that threaten the federally protected humpback chub. These higher flows bypass hydropower generators in order to cool the river temperature below the dam to attempt to disrupt smallmouth bass downstream. The lost hydropower generation must be replaced with power purchased on the open market at expensive prices in the middle of summer peak electricity demand. The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) makes these purchases from the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund (Basin Fund), which is funded by power revenues; or, in other words, customer funded. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Given that the 2024 Presidential Election is in less than 34 days, your Department’s inaction and refusal to provide any information regarding its efforts to promote public trust and confidence in our elections is especially alarming.” “Clearly, there is a non-negligible amount of voter participation by non-citizens in federal elections, which is not only a serious threat to the integrity of our elections and the democratic process they represent, but also has the potential to reduce Americans’ trust and confidence in election results,” the Members of Congress continued.

During her remarks she stated: “...in their relentless drive to put pressure on independent cattle and bison producers, the USDA is again attempting to implement an EID requirement that will have a tremendous impact on livestock operations. Producers who do not comply will lose their access to interstate markets, thereby putting cattle and bison ranchers in places like Wyoming and South Dakota in grave peril of going broke.” “It is obvious that, while the implementation of this rule would provide an outsized benefit to large corporations, it would provide nothing but a burden to smaller producers. The consolidation of power in the hands of a few, at the expense of small and independent farmers and ranchers is a threat to our entire food supply. This rule reveals a tremendous level of cynicism towards American cattle and bison ranchers. Our livestock producers have implemented the world’s most innovative and advanced practices in relation to animal welfare and precision herd health management, while producing high quality and affordable food.” She concluded by encouraging attendees to engage their federal delegation on the issue, “It is critical that each and every one of you call your Congressman and Senators, and tell them to cosponsor Rep. Hageman’s H.J.Res 167 and Senator Lummis’ S.J.Res 98 – urgent action is needed before this rule goes into effect November 5th. We are in a David versus Goliath situation here where the voices of millions of grassroots ranchers are being drowned out by D.C. special interests representing corporate agriculture. It is time for Congress to listen to the People, and that starts with your calls and advocacy.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Anyone with common sense would reach the assumption that this is a blatant effort to interfere with the upcoming presidential election. “Nancy Pelosi’s Jan. 6 Committee and the fake news media operated under the auspice that the day’s events should be investigated to ensure they never happened again but with an inauguration a few short months away, these voices have fallen silent on the IG report which will reveal the truth about the bad actors influencing America’s future.” The letter comes on the heels of last week’s Weaponization of the Federal Government subcommittee hearing in which DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the curator of the report, testified it would be made public “...in a couple of months.” The letter in its entirety can be found here: https://hageman.house.gov/media/official-letters 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Cheyenne, WY – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman slammed the Biden/Harris administration and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for their anti-American energy policies in light of the BLM’s offering of just 159 acres at a recent lease sale in Wyoming–netting only $27,000. “Wyoming’s economy and the American people rely on access to federally controlled energy resources, yet the Biden/Harris Administration is doing all that it can to destroy our domestic energy industry,” Hageman said after an announcement last week that 2 forty-acre plots in Crook and Fremont counties received zero bids in a Wyoming gas lease sale–a frustratingly minute offering compared to the backlog of deferred leases that remain in the BLM’s queue. “The BLM’s intentional neglect to offer oil and gas leases threatens to drive small Wyoming producers out of business and encourages further reliance on foreign adversaries to produce the energy upon which Americans depend. This, coupled with Democrats' decision to raise bonding fees and royalty rates through the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, underscores the Biden/Harris Administration’s outright hostility toward traditional American energy producers. “At the beginning of this Congress, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, which would have allowed additional access to energy resources by establishing a threshold of a minimum number of lease sales on federal land–enabling Wyoming’s producers to generate affordable and reliable energy for all Americans. When the Senate refused to take up this legislation we tried again in the Department of the Interior appropriations bill.” “As your lone Congressional Representative, I will not stop fighting against the overburdensome attacks on Wyoming’s lifeblood. We have abundant natural resources, and we should be making them available to our nation as a means to return to energy independence.” Background: The Biden/Harris administration offered leases on less than 300,000 acres of public land in 2023 compared to over 11 million acres offered… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and 29 other Republican House colleagues to introduce H.R.9828, the End the Vaccine Carveout Act. Since 1986, a liability shield has prevented vaccine companies from lawsuits and real accountability of any kind. This bill would also change the definition of “countermeasures”- a treatment or vaccine used to combat disease associated with a public health emergency- to exclude any COVID-19 vaccines thus removing the liability shield currently enjoyed under the Public Readiness and Preparedness Act. These carveouts have left tens of thousands of Americans unable to seek justice or compensation for vaccine related injuries. Representative Hageman stated, “This legislation strips away all existing provisions that shield vaccine manufacturers from liability and redefines COVID-19 vaccines to remove public health emergency protections. We will finally give victims and families the ability to pursue legal action for damages caused by vaccines. Protecting companies from consequences of poorly developed and rushed vaccines has led to immense health concerns and, in some cases, death. It is my hope that the Committee on Energy and Commerce quickly considers this bill and recommends it advance to the House floor for a vote.” BACKGROUND During a recent House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust held a hearing on how the Biden-Harris administration pushed the Food and Drug Administration to lower their own agency standards to approve the Pfizer COVID vaccine and boosters. Congresswoman Hageman specifically questioned witnesses on the “anemic” trials for COVID-19 vaccines. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Through this plan, the Biden-Harris Administration is artificially propping up the renewable energy industry by subsidizing energy sources that cannot compete in a free market. Representative Hageman stated, “The BLM’s “Western Solar Plan” will adversely impact 31 million acres of federal lands across 11 states and upend existing activities that drive America’s energy independence, thus weakening the resilience of the American energy grid and propping up unreliable energy sources, while simultaneously stripping local communities of important revenue-generating activities. This proposal will severely impact Wyoming, as half of our state’s surface lands are federally managed. “The “Plan” blocks off large swaths of lands for the installation of environmentally unfriendly solar panels, eliminating the ability to graze, mine, or produce fossil fuels – all the things that America needs to drive down costs of energy, food, and housing. The Biden-Harris assault on our Western way of life needs to be brought to a swift end this November, before they can inflict even more damage.” “The proposed Western Solar Plan is another Biden-Harris Administration policy that is detrimental to communities across the West,” said Chairman Newhouse. “This plan risks violating the multiple-use mandate for public lands established by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act and threatens valuable grazing lands while also elevating intermittent energy over more affordable and reliable sources.

CRs are bad fiscal policy that prevent Congress from addressing real substantive issues while also failing to curb excessive spending. Not only does this CR fail to include the SAVE Act, which is critical to protecting federal elections from illegal voting, but it increases spending beyond the bloated amounts that have put our country $35.4 trillion in debt. This CR is also set to expire on December 20th, thereby setting us up to vote on an omnibus spending bill right before Christmas, not to mention the fact that it will be chock full of reckless spending and even more bad policies.

Representative Hageman stated, “The BLM's proposed Rock Springs Resource Management Plan and proposed Final Environmental Impact Statement will substantially reduce economically productive and environmentally safe land uses and activities. It is a de-facto land lockout, converting thousands of acres of multiple-use designated federal land in Wyoming to be set aside for non-use and non-access. This is exactly what the radical environmentalists have been demanding and what the Biden-Harris administration has been hell-bent on implementing across the West. “It is impossible to overestimate the devastation this RMP will cause to our local communities, our State and our country, due to the impact on our mining, grazing, recreation, and energy industries – all because bureaucrats in Washington, DC are buying into the “climate change” hysterics of the Biden-Harris administration rather than following scientific analysis and facts. It is critical Congress stops this attack on Wyoming and the west, and today’s vote to nullify the Rock Springs RMP is a major step in the right direction.” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman said, “The Biden-Harris administration is intent on destroying the western way of life, cutting off multiple uses of federal lands that many communities have depended on for generations. Congresswoman Hageman’s essential legislation will fight back against these devastating land lockups and force the Biden-Harris administration to listen to local communities. I’d like to applaud her for countering the environmental extremists in the Biden-Harris administration and fighting for the people of Wyoming and all Americans’ access to our natural resources.” H.R. 6085 is endorsed by the National Mining Association.

The SAVE Act, cosponsored by Rep. Hageman and passed earlier this year by the House of Representatives with bipartisan support, would require states to obtain proof of citizenship—in person—when registering an individual to vote and require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. The bill failed 220-202. Representative Hageman stated, “Safeguarding our election process is critically important, especially with the open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration that have allowed over 11 million illegals to enter our country. By including the SAVE Act with government funding and extending the funding into 2025, when Republicans have a strong chance of controlling the House, Senate, and White House, America wins. We will be able to craft responsible appropriations bills that slash wasteful spending, stop the current administration’s radical climate agenda, and eliminate woke DEI programs from federal agencies – at the same time, we can ensure that only American citizens vote in federal elections. “I am disappointed that the House was unable to pass H.R. 9494 today. While Continuing Resolutions are never ideal, securing our elections and creating an opportunity to pass conservative spending bills in 2025 created a unique opportunity.

The letter was cosigned by Reps. Fulcher (ID-01), Rosendale (MT-02), Stauber (MN-08), and Zinke (MT-01). Representative Hageman stated, “The science that the GYE population is fully recovered is clear and, according to the most recent Grizzly Bear Management Report, all recovery criteria for the GYE population have been and are currently being met. This is why the state of Wyoming submitted a petition to delist the GYE population on January 21, 2022, more than two and half years ago. “I personally questioned Deputy Director of Fish & Wildlife Steve Guertin during a subcommittee hearing and his responses to my questions indicated a decision by USFW would be made by the end of July 2024. Mr. Guertin also stated, in response to a hypothetical scenario of a listing petition being filed for the GYE today, that such petition would probably be rejected based on the listing factors set forward in the Endangered Species Act. It is obvious to us that a political decision – rather than the science – was interjected into the process in the two weeks between this hearing and the announcement to postpone the 12-month finding to justify such an action. “Stonewalling on this delisting is causing grave danger to people and livestock in Wyoming. The USFW needs to act now.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Implementation of this Act must not infringe on the rights of landowners and is not manipulated as a tool for our adversaries. Representative Hageman writes, “the federal government is wading into a very dangerous situation by valuing and selling so called “environmental services benefits”, and these programs run a serious risk of infringing on the property rights of the underlying landowner, as well as destroying our ability to produce the energy and food we need to power our economy. While this law and policy should never have been adopted, to the extent that it is now in place, USDA can best serve the interests of the American people by ensuring transparency and protecting the landowner. “I urge USDA to approach the implementation of the SUSTAINS Act with the utmost caution to secure the rights of landowners and promote U.S. national security. With policies such as these, derived from natural capital accounting, the danger is in the details as we head down this irresponsible path of considering concepts to be real property that have a value that can be bought, sold, and traded separately from the underlying land. Private property rights are the bedrock of this nation, and USDA should operate in a manner that respects, secures and protects this fundamental right.” For concerned citizens that would like to express their opinion on the implementation of the SUSTAINS Act, the deadline for comment submission is close of business on Monday, 9/16/24.

H.R. 1398 - Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act, H.R. 1425 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act, H.R. 2864 – Countering CCP Drones Act, H.R. 7980 - End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act of 2024, and H.R. 9456 – Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act were all passed by the House of Representatives this week. Representative Hageman stated, “It is long past time that Chinese Communist aggression against the United States was countered. This week the House of Representatives took action to stop the CCP from impacting our food supply and compromising our national security through ownership of American land, spying on our sensitive military installations, stealing our intellectual property, and influencing health policy through its control of the corrupt WHO. “Since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took office their failed foreign policy of appeasement has diminished our standing on the world stage, emboldened our allies, and plunged the world into multiple conflicts and wars. House Republicans are taking every measure possible to combat the existential threat of the Chinese Communist Party and restore the strength and dominance of the United States.” Background: H.R. 1398 - Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act: This bill Reestablishes a Trump Administration initiative within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice to address espionage by the CCP on U.S. intellectual property and academic institutions. H.R. 1425 - No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act: This legislation ensures that any pandemic-related convention of the World Health Organization that attempts to bind the U.S. must be considered and ratified by the Senate as a treaty.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced the Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act, which will require pill presses to be engraved with a serial number to help law enforcement combat counterfeit and fentanyl-laced pills, while also targeting cartels. This legislation is both bipartisan and bicameral, with Rep. Stansbury (NM-01), Fry (SC-07), Crenshaw (TX-02), and Harder (CA-09) co-leading in the House of Representatives and Senators Cornyn (R-TX), Coons (D-DE), Moran (R-KS), Klobuchar (D-MN), and Cantwell (D-WA) introducing the Senate version. Representative Hageman stated, “The scourge of deadly fentanyl pouring over our borders has claimed the lives of far too many of our family members and friends. Law enforcement is seizing more fentanyl-laced pills, and the vast majority of pills contain lethal doses of fentanyl. By requiring an engraved serial number, law enforcement can better track presses back to the cartels and traffickers producing these deadly drugs.” "Fentanyl disguised as medication is killing young people across our country, and it is critical we keep working to stop the flow of this lethal drug into the United States," said Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01). "I am proud to have co-led this bill to stop the process at the beginning - by serializing pill presses used to make deadly and illegal fentanyl-laced pills." “Fentanyl poisoning has taken the lives of countless Americans, including many South Carolinians,” said Representative Fry. “I am proud to work with my colleagues to develop a solution and introduce the Fight Illicit Pill Presses Act. Too many families have lost a loved one to fentanyl poisoning, and I am committed to doing all that I can in Congress to crack down on drug cartels and drug traffickers to protect our communities.” "For the safety of our communities, it’s imperative that we give law enforcement the ability to trace these illicit pill presses moving across borders. This legislation will allow officers to better understand the criminal supply chain,” said Co… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z

Having a formal disaster designation in place gives Governor Mark Gordon and the state of Wyoming access to federal resources and disaster relief programs for the impacted areas and industries. In the letter, the delegation emphasized the immense damage suffered and its implications for Wyoming’s agricultural production. The delegation expressed strong support for Gov. Gordon’s disaster designation request and urged the USDA to allow for regulatory flexibility while Wyoming’s agricultural infrastructure is rebuilt. “Wyoming has faced an extremely damaging fire season with more than half a million acres lost. The total number of fires so far in Wyoming this year is 522 with 24 being larger than 1,000 acres,” the delegation wrote. “A disproportionate amount of the area burned so far has occurred on private lands that are being used for agricultural production. As you consider this request, we urge you to consider the profound impact the disaster designation will have in sustaining Wyoming’s producers and agricultural community.” Full text of the letter can be found here. Dear Secretary Vilsack, Today, we are writing you in support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Secretarial disaster designation request from Governor Mark Gordon due to the unprecedented wildfire losses Wyoming experienced in the 2024 fire season.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman submitted a letter to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director Tracy Stone-Manning outlining the disastrous consequences of moving forward with the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan (RMP) proposal announced on August 22nd. This newly proposed RMP makes nearly one million acres of land categorized as “Areas of Critical Environmental Concern” off limits for energy production. Congresswoman Hageman writes, “The people of Wyoming deserve better. We deserve a plan that respects our economic needs, our traditions, and the careful stewardship of our lands that we have practiced for generations. America as a whole deserves to benefit from the economic and national security contributions Wyoming makes through its extractive and livestock industries. Wyoming is the backbone of American energy production – contributing to greater energy independence from foreign bad actors. The BLM is enabling those bad actors to a greater extent than anyone by crushing America’s best energy producers through regulation….I strongly urge the BLM to scrap the current proposal and begin anew, this time in true collaboration with the people of Wyoming.” In addition to blocking energy production, grazing will be banned from 1,545 acres within the RMP area – with no guarantee that additional grazing areas will not be blocked in the future. Ironically, while it seems the BLM ignored Wyomingites’ input on this proposal, they did listen to unreliable energy NGOs and have reduced right of way exclusions to allow for so-called renewable energy development. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) officially released its proposed Resource Management Plan (RMP) related to the Rock Springs Field Office. This misguided plan, which was initially proposed last year but then withdrawn in response to severe backlash, would still block multiple-use activities across nearly one million acres in southwest Wyoming. Representative Hageman stated, “The BLM's most recent RMP and preferred alternative does not address the concerns previously identified, and will substantially reduce economically productive and environmentally safe land uses such as grazing, energy production, mining, recreation, and other important activities on nearly a million acres in our state. It is essentially a land lockout, converting thousands of acres of federal land in Wyoming from being managed for multiple-use into being set aside for non-use and non-access. This is exactly what the radical environmentalists have been demanding and this administration has been implementing all across the West. “It is impossible to overestimate the level of harm this will cause to our local communities, our State and our country as a whole, due to the impact on our mining, livestock, recreation and energy industries – all because bureaucrats in Washington, DC are choosing to follow the “climate change” marching orders of the Biden-Harris administration instead of science and fact. While the BLM has addressed some of the concerns voiced last year, it continues to pursue a reckless policy that simply cannot be let to stand. “I will continue to fight the BLM’s efforts to close down our legacy industries in Wyoming, and have submitted comments on the plan through the agency’s online portal, pointing out many of the RMP’s inadequacies. I have also sent a letter to BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning demanding answers on how the agency reached its decision to adopt a preferred alternative that is so contrary to not only the law, but public policy.

The proposed RMP covers nearly 3.6 million acres of surface land and 3.7 million acres of mineral estate in southwestern Wyoming. “Today’s proposal from Tracy Stone-Manning and the BLM will have consequential effects on our ability to be energy independent from our adversaries while inflicting harm on the livestock community,” said Chairman Newhouse. “By limiting oil and gas operations and mining on resource-rich Federal lands, our supply chains will become more reliant on foreign sources, exacerbating price increases for consumers. The devasting effects on federal grazing permittees will be felt for years to come and economic opportunity in western Wyoming will be stifled. Once again, the BLM has egregiously violated the multiple-use mandate of our public lands and this proposal should be withdrawn immediately.” “The BLM's most recent RMP and preferred alternative does not address the concerns previously identified, and will substantially reduce economically productive and environmentally safe land uses such as grazing, energy production, mining, recreation, and other important activities on nearly a million acres in our state.

Hageman has now held 46 town halls since being sworn-in to Congress in January 2023. Representative Hageman stated, “Personally visiting with Wyomingites across our state is vital to being able to effectively represent them in Congress. These town halls are open to everyone and provide an opportunity to not only hear updates from me about what I am working on in Washington, but also provide an opportunity for me to hear from my constituents. Throughout the 23 town halls I’ve hosted this year, thousands of people have asked great questions and offered their comments. “Although each town hall had questions specific to the community I was in, there were many common themes across the state. People are worried about the invasion at our border that has allowed nearly 12 million illegals to enter our country, runaway inflation and the bad economy created by Biden-Harris policies, and government bureaucrats trying to end our western way of life – the Buffalo and Rock Springs RMPs, EID eartags for cattle and bison, punitive energy rules designed to eliminate coal and oil, and the failure to delist the GYE Grizzly – just to name a few. “I appreciate all who attended and am thankful Wyoming has such beautiful facilities to allow these public forums. I promised to fight for Wyoming, and we are getting results. When former President Donald Trump is elected as our next President, we will end these failed policies and ensure that Wyoming will continue to be prosperous and free.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z

This bipartisan and bicameral legislation, Introduced in the House by Representative Hageman and co-led by Representative Lucy McBath (GA-07) will ensure that a person assuming the rights of a crime victim is eligible to receive restitution in the form of necessary and reasonable expenses associated with participating in the investigation or prosecution of the offense; attending proceedings relating to the offense; or transporting a victim to receive medical, physical or occupational therapy, rehabilitation, or other services. Representative Hageman stated, “For far too many family members, the pain and stress of advocating for a family member that has been the victim of a crime is compounded by the cost burden that must be borne during the prosecution of the offense. “I applaud the President’s signing of the Victims’ VOICES Act into law and am thankful that legislation is now in place to finally address this injustice and strengthen the ability to care for victims while effectively prosecuting criminals. I was honored to have the support of fellow Representative Lucy McBath (GA-07) in introducing this bill with me in the House, and U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), for leading the Senate companion.” “When I was seeking justice after my son was shot and killed, my loved ones stood beside me throughout the court proceedings,” said Rep. McBath. “Devastation and hardship in the aftermath of a crime can have ripple effects across a victim’s entire support network. I know how important it is for families to focus on supporting loved ones through these traumatic events, and lawmakers have a role to play in easing financial burdens. I am proud to see this important bill signed into law by President Biden. Together, we are helping support victims and their loved ones.” This l… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today Congresswoman Harriet Hageman, along with co-lead Dan Bishop (NC-08), introduced the Standing to Challenge Government Censorship Act, a bill which provides a private right of action against federal employees and agencies which collude with social media to censor Constitutionally protected speech. Importantly, the bill is drafted to resolve the standing question in Murthy v Missouri which prevented the states and citizens from receiving relief in the case. The bill has been introduced by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in the Senate. Representative Hageman stated, “I have repeatedly said that the government cannot do by proxy what it is prohibited from doing directly. This is exactly what happened with the Biden Administration pressuring social media companies to suppress the free speech of American citizens. The Standing to Challenge Government Censorship Act will not only ensure future litigants would have standing, but also would also apply to the plaintiffs in Murthy. “Our forefathers ratified the First Amendment recognizing that government actors would always seek to control public discourse in order to protect their own power structure. No one has a monopoly on truth, and the Biden administration and federal agencies are not entitled to declare that American’s speech is “mis-information,” “dis-information,” or “mal-information” and silence the message, especially when you consider how much accurate and truthful information was squelched during Covid-19 and the 2020 election. We will continue to fight to protect our First Amendment rights.” Representative Bishop said, “Americans have a God-given right to free expression, and the constant attacks on the First Amendment from government bureaucrats make safeguarding that right all the more important. Malicious actors within government should never be allowed to silence and censor Americans, and Americans targeted by the Censorship Industrial Complex deserve their day in court.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service filed a declaration requesting an extension to the timeline on the decision to delist of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) Grizzly Bear from the endangered species list. Representative Hageman stated, “Today’s declaration on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Grizzly Bear is yet another frustrating moment in the fight to return management of the species to the state. Earlier this month, during a Natural Resources Subcommittee hearing, I had the opportunity to question Deputy Director Stephen Guertin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the Endangered Species Act. During that questioning he admitted that the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Grizzly has far exceeded recovery goals – and at the current number of bears the Grizzly would never have been listed. He also informed our subcommittee that a delisting decision would be forthcoming. With this knowledge, what possible reason does the agency have to stall? We know it sure isn’t based on facts. Politicizing the Endangered Species Act and pandering to far-left radicals does not serve the GYE grizzly bear or Wyomingites well. This delay for a decision that is already 1.5 years past the original deadline, underscores the need for Congressional action to force a return to sound policy.” Background: Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the GYE grizzly bear has been listed as threatened - but not endangered - since 1975, and its original recovery goal was 500 bears. Today, we have nearly 1,100 bears in this ecosystem. The goal of the ESA for the Greater Yellowstone Grizzly has clearly been met and we should rightly return species management back to the State of Wyoming. Representative Hageman has also sponsored the Grizzly Bear State Management Act to ensure that delisting happens. Her bill to delist the GYE grizzly has been passed out of the Natural Resources Committee and awaits passage by the full House. In addition, due to Rep. Hageman’s efforts, language to delist the GYE Grizzly was also inc… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

Representative Hageman stated, “While the resignation of Secret Service Director Cheatle was a good start – and long overdue – there is much more to investigate. The American people deserve to know what went so wrong that a deranged shooter was able to fire on President Trump. We also need to uncover procedural failures and miscommunications in this attack to eliminate the risk of future assassination attempts.

Four amendments offered by Representative Hageman were included in the final bill, as well as language to delist the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Grizzly Bear. Rep. Hageman stated, “The Interior Appropriations Act passed by the House of Representatives today is a huge victory for Wyoming, and for America. Three of my top priorities; Delisting the GYE Grizzly, and blocking the BLM from implementing their destructive resource management plans in Rock Springs and Buffalo, were incorporated in this bill. With its passage we are ensuring that the federal government cannot stop us from using our land and the resources on it, and we are putting the state in control of species management. “Also included in this bill are amendments that I offered to stop the BLM from finalizing a solar plan that would have severely and negatively impacted our trona industry, and to block the creation of a duplicative “Office of Agricultural and Rural Affairs” with the EPA – an agency that has failed our state. “With the passage of the Interior Appropriations Act, Republicans in Congress have taken much needed action to stop the extreme agenda of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.” Background: Included in the Interior Appropriations Act were four amendments offered by Rep. Hageman that: Prohibits the Bureau of Land Management from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing its proposed Western Solar Plan. Prohibits the Bureau of Land Management from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan in Wyoming.

Representative Hageman stated, “Under current federal law, those convicted of a crime may be required to pay restitution to their victim, however a person assuming rights for a victim, such as a husband, wife, mother, or father, may not be eligible for restitution, even when they play a necessary role in the legal process. This has been a far too common issue in crimes of violence and in tribal communities where locating and protecting missing and exploited women and children is a major challenge. “The bipartisan and bicameral Victims’ VOICES Act will finally address this injustice and strengthen the ability to care for victims while effectively prosecuting criminals.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted in favor of H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), which protects and preserves the right of American citizens to vote. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced the bill, cosponsored by Rep. Hageman, which requires states to obtain proof of citizenship—in person—when registering an individual to vote and requires states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. Representative Hageman said, “It is critical citizens have full confidence that our elections are free and fair, and only United States citizens who are registered voters can cast a ballot in any federal election. For those who would say there are no issues, Massachusetts, Virgina, and Ohio have recently found and removed noncitizens from their voter registration rolls, yet even with this knowledge, many states have refused to verify their own records. Because Joe Biden has allowed over 11 million illegals to enter our country since he took office, the need to ensure only citizens are voting has grown even greater. “While we must be careful not to federalize our elections, we should all be working towards ensuring election integrity through common-sense solutions such as voter ID, adopting safeguards preventing non-citizens from voting, requiring signature verification, and implementing chain-of-custody requirements for ballots. To oppose these solutions is to oppose honest elections – plain and simple. “I have long held that to secure our federal elections we must require a citizenship question for apportionment and require proof of citizenship when registering to vote. House Republicans already passed the Equal Representation Act to require a citizenship question, and now the SAVE Act will ensure integrity in the electoral process is restored.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z

The bills prioritize America’s security, both at our borders and beyond, cut spending in areas not related to protecting our nation, streamline operations, and end woke policies. Representative Hageman stated, “The passage of these three appropriations bills supports the defense of our nation and security of our borders. They include funds to build the wall, increase our ability to detain and deport illegals, deter Chinese aggression, increase pay for our men and women in uniform, and cut the woke nonsense forced upon these agencies by Biden and his unelected bureaucrats. “In addition, several priorities that I supported - the curtailing of classified remote work for DoD employees, making the grant process easier to navigate, and increasing funds to expedite the issuance of passports were included. The Senate should not wait until the end of the year to push through a massive omnibus spending bill. They should follow the lead of the Republican led house and start to pass appropriations bills now.” Homeland Security Background: Provides $600 million for the construction of the Southern Border wall and $300 million for border security technology.

This climate rule would be disastrous for Wyoming energy producers who would be buried in red tape to meet these unrealistic disclosure requirements. In March, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a finalized rule that requires publicly traded companies to disclose their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data. This is the first time the SEC has published a rule issuing such a requirement. The amicus brief argues the climate rule would significantly increase burdens placed on publicly traded companies and hinder economic growth. The brief reiterates that Congress, not the administration, has the power to enact legislation, including laws addressing securities markets and climate policy. “The SEC, as a securities regulator, is not empowered to impose sweeping climate-related regulations on publicly traded companies,” the amicus brief stated. “Congress has demonstrated historical reluctance to pass broad climate legislation, particularly legislation that would dramatically impact federal securities law disclosure requirements. The SEC’s overreach into climate regulation violates the separation of powers and the major questions doctrine, warranting the rule’s invalidation.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman introduced legislation to prohibit the implementation of the Proposed Resource Management Plan (RMP) Amendment and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Federal coal managed by the Buffalo, Wyoming Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management. This rule pursues the no new leasing alternative, seeking to end coal production in Wyoming by 2041, closing 12 of Wyoming’s active coal mines and putting 48 billion short-tons of BLM-administered federal coal off limits for mining. Representative Hageman stated, “This rule means economic collapse for Wyoming and lights out for America. It is no coincidence that the BLM’s decision came with a Washington Post article touting this as the U.S. making its biggest step yet to end coal mining. While done through a regional office, this is a national decision that will undermine U.S. access to affordable and reliable energy while devastating the Wyoming economy. Coal is the energy of the future, and these producers work hard to ensure the U.S. has access to energy which enables the modern way of life. I thank all our Wyoming coal producers and workers for what they do, I will always have your back and do whatever it takes to ensure Wyoming thrives from our natural benefits in the Powder River Basin. This bill is the first step, and I will not stop until this threat to Wyoming from our own federal government is defeated” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

This legislation improves servicemembers’ quality of life – highlighted by a 19.5% pay raise for junior enlisted members and expanded access to healthcare providers – while equipping our military with the resources to counter the rapidly growing threats from Communist China and restore American deterrence. It also provides much-needed oversight and crackdown on waste, fraud, and abuse, saving taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. Representative Hageman stated, “This year’s NDAA strengthens our military by providing much needed pay raises and healthcare improvements for our servicemembers, countering Chinese aggression, cutting down on the waste and duplication within the DoD, and ending ‘woke’ policies that have nothing to do with defending our country. Under Joe Biden’s failed leadership, the world has become a more dangerous place. It is critical that we support our military in such precarious times and ensure that it is focused on defeating our enemies and securing our borders.” The FY25 NDAA Improves Service Member Quality of Life: Boosting Compensation: Gives junior enlisted servicemembers a 19.5% pay raise, expands allowances for housing and food, and improves the cost-of-living calculation. Improving Housing: Boosts funding for housing maintenance accounts and strengthens oversight of military housing programs. Ensuring Access to Medical Care: Reduces healthcare wait times by expanding access to medical providers, especially mental health providers, and increases oversight of healthcare accessibility for servicemembers. Enhancing Support for Military Spouses: Makes it easier for spouses to transfer professional licenses across states and expands DoD programs that provide employment support.

A companion resolution was introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, making this bicameral legislation. Representative Hageman stated, “This rule is a solution in search of a problem that will advance a federal mandate which the American ranching community will have to pay for. America produces the highest quality meat in the world and there is nothing wrong with our traditional disease traceability system. This unfunded mandate raises serious privacy concerns for ranchers and their herds, with the potential to lock ranchers out of their traditional markets, thereby furthering vertical integration of the U.S. food supply chain. “We need look no further than what happened in Ireland to recognize the threat of a USDA-driven EID mandate.” Hageman continued, “In early 2022 Ireland adopted an EID mandate, and by August 2023, its government was reporting that they needed to slaughter as many as 41,000 head of livestock – not because of a disease outbreak, but because of so called “climate change.” A mandatory EID simply gives the federal government too much power.” “Cattle ranching is incredibly vital to the North Dakota economy,” said Representative Armstrong. “If we are going to remain food and energy secure, we need policies that support our farmers and ranchers, not unfunded mandates guided by the whims of the federal government.

As a rancher myself, I understand the devastating impact this will have on our industry and will do everything in my power to block this administration’s chronic federal overreach.” “Mandating ear tags for all cattle and bison will financially crush independent Wyoming ranchers,” said Barrasso. “Senator Lummis’ and Congresswoman Hageman’s legisla… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

If the USPS decides to move forward with a closure/consolidation, this legislation will require the USPS to notify the persons served by the post office, or sorting, distribution, or processing facility, of its decision and the findings used to arrive at this decision. The USPS also would be required to wait at least 60 more days upon notification before proceeding with the closure/consolidation, and any person served by the facility slated for such action could appeal the closure to the Postal Regulatory Commission, which would have up to 120 days to consider the appeal. Congresswoman Hageman stated, “Without this legislation, the USPS could arbitrarily close our only processing and distribution centers, leaving us dependent on larger cities outside the borders of our state. Such closures would threaten the promise of timely, secure mail delivery and force many USPS employees to either relocate or lose their jobs. There are also serious election integrity concerns created by forcing the transport of mailed-in ballots out of state, which could potentially cause ballot delivery to be delayed until after an election concludes. Many other rural communities throughout the United States will assuredly be negatively impacted in similar ways.” “The Postal Processing Protection Act stands as a crucial safeguard, ensuring that mail processing centers remain to serve our communities nationwide,” said Congressman Cleaver. “By preserving these centers and examining the consequences of their potential closures, we uphold the continuity of essential services, mitigate the far-reaching consequences of their elimination, and alleviate the burden on an already strained postal service.

Res. 1292 - Report to accompany the Resolution Recommending that the House of Representatives Find United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply with a Subpoena Duly Issued by the Committee on the Judiciary. This resolution upholds the House's institutional power by recommending that the House find Attorney General Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with the Committee’s subpoenas. Representative Hageman stated, “There are no grounds for withholding audio or video recordings from President Biden’s interview with Special Council Hur considering that the Department of Justice provided the transcript months ago. The moment that the transcript was released, the right to exert Executive Privilege was waived. “The tapes are important for several reasons. First, transcripts have been altered by this White House for previous speeches and events, so having the transcript verified as accurate by the recordings would be useful. Second, while transcripts can show us what was said, they do not reveal how something was said. The Department of Justice has already acknowledged that the transcript and the recordings are not identical – we must be allowed to know to what extent they are different. “Attorney General Garland must comply with the Congressionally issued subpoena or face the consequences for not doing so.” Background: In the weeks following the February 5, 2024, release of Special Counsel Robert K. Hur’s report, the three House Committees conducting an impeachment inquiry to determine whether to draft articles of impeachment against President Biden engaged with the Department of Justice to obtain a limited set of documents and records related to the report.

Instead of increasing our coal supply, the Biden administration and Washington Democrats are shutting down domestic coal production in the name of their Green New Deal Agenda. If this rule were to go into effect, the U.S. power grid would be far more susceptible to brownouts and blackouts, leaving the United States more vulnerable to our adversaries and degrading our constituents’ quality of life. This CRA is necessary to overturn this rulemaking that will destroy coal demand in the United States,” said the Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs. The resolution comes after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its final rules that impose unrealistic emissions requirements on existing coal-fired power plants and newly constructed gas-fired power plants. This attempt to force the closure of power plants that supply America’s baseload electricity was previously tried under President Obama and overturned by the Supreme Court in West Virginia v. EPA. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, led 43 of her colleagues in introducing an identical resolution in the United States Senate. Groups supporting the CRA resolution of disapproval include: National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Mining Association (NMA), National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), America’s Power, American Chemistry Council (ACC), Industrial Energy Consumers of America (IECA), American Petroleum Institute (API), Am… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

As Chair of the Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs, I understand the importance of a strong military presence in the Indo-Pacific Region to counter Chinese aggression, and I am encouraged by the commitment to the region set forth in this bill. In addition, my amendment expressing concern for the removal of mileage reimbursement kiosks and requiring a subsequent report on the issue will ensure that while modernizing the VA, we do not make the process more confusing or burdensome for our veterans.” FACTS ABOUT THE FY25 MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, VETERANS AFFAIRS, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS BILL: Honors our commitment to veterans by: Fully funding veterans’ health care programs.

This legislation would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and any foreign actor who supports their effort to arrest, detain, or prosecute protected persons of the United States and its allies, including Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant. Representative Hageman stated, “The ICC is a failed and biased organization, as evidenced by the fact that it has ignored atrocities by Iran and the Hamas terrorists but threatens a democracy like Israel with baseless charges and arrest warrants for its leaders – leaders that are simply responding to the terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023 and ensuring that they are not further threatened. “Neither Israel nor the United States of America are under the jurisdiction of the ICC and the sovereignty of our nations can never be surrendered. H.R. 8282 will block any U.S. funding of the ICC and require the president to impose sanctions on any foreign person found to be engaged in or aiding any ICC case. “I am proud to have cosponsored this legislation. America must stand with Israel, and it must ensure that our own fate is never determined by globalist foreign entities.” Background on the ICC: Established by a 1998 treaty known as the “Rome Statute,” the ICC prosecutes individuals for “atrocity crimes”. Intended to serve as a “court of last resort,” the ICC is supposed to complement existing national judicial systems and may exercise jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute. The Rome Statute permits the ICC to bring charges against individuals if an atrocity crime was committed on the territory of a member State or by a national of a member State. Neither Israel nor the United States are parties to the Rome Statute or members of the ICC, given longstanding concerns about infringements on national sovereignty. The largely unaccountable ICC Prosecutor has broad dis… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z

Harriet Hageman introduced a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to terminate the Biden Regime’s final Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) stated, “Green New Deal activists killed coal and good-paying jobs in Colorado. Now, the Biden Regime is trying to kill responsible oil and gas production through an overreaching new regulation that targets small businesses, undermines the law, discourages production, and will cause gas prices to increase further. Natural gas provides nearly 35% of Colorado's electricity generation and heats seven out of every 10 homes. The oil and gas industry supports 300,000 jobs in Colorado, comprises 11% of our state’s economy, and generates nearly $600 million annually for education. Biden's agency minions fail to recognize these benefits or that America is the world leader in emissions reductions because of significant advancements in technology for oil and gas production. Our bill will terminate the latest regulatory attack on the fossil fuel industry while providing relief for American families so they have access to reliable and affordable energy." Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) said, “This rule will devastate Wyoming's oil and gas industry. Over 85% of the oil and gas operators in Wyoming are small, locally owned, and operated companies. These 400+ Wyoming companies directly employ over 1,500 Wyoming residents. Should this rule be implemented, Wyoming companies will be cut out of the surety market, preventing essential revenue streams for the state, and killing meaningful jobs that keep our communities afloat. More fees, stricter regulations, ambiguity in the lease approval process – its all just another day at the office for a Biden administration that is doing everything in its power to eliminate fossil fuels. It is critical that Congress fights back and disapproves the Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process final rule.” Background: Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04), Representatives Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) and John Duarte (CA-13) introduced Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions to overturn the Biden Administration’s recent rule updates to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). These changes from the current administration reverse critical reforms to the ESA implemented during previous administrations. “The Biden Administration’s ESA rule reversals were a political handout to extreme environmentalists at the expense of better species management and private landowners,” said Chairman Newhouse. “Rather than egregious rule changes that will add to the federal bureaucracy while creating hardships for rural communities, the ESA needs common sense reforms to make the law work better for both species and landowners alike. I’m proud to introduce legislation to reverse these rules alongside Western Caucus Members to stop the Biden Administration’s continued weaponization of the ESA.” “Two things are needed in order to adequately recover and manage endangered species across the United States: greater transparency and less federal bureaucracy,” said Rep. Hageman. “Yet once again these latest rules from the Biden Administration accomplish the exact opposite, handicapping local and state management agencies in the process. By reinstituting blanket protections on non-endangered species, mandating needless critical habitat designations with no justification, and ignoring the economic impact of such designations, the individuals on the ground actually conducting species management are prevented from ensuring the flourishing of ecosystems as a whole. These rules take species conservation in the wrong direction and punish our landowners; as such I’ve introduced these CRA resolutions to prevent these ill-designed rules from taking effect.” “The Biden Administration has unfortunately continued to expand regulations on the Endangered Species Act, while ignoring science and factual evidence of species restoration.

Hageman Introduces Bill to Remove DEI Selection Criteria from Federally-Funded Research Initiatives 2024-05-17 2024 2024-05 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Yesterday, Congresswoman Hageman introduced the Abolishing Woke Awards for Research and Development (AWARD) Act to the 118th Congress. The AWARD Act will ensure the National Institutes of Health (NIH) distributes research grants and awards through a merit-based system, as opposed to the current diversity, equity, and inclusion-based criteria used to allocate federal funds. Representative Hageman stated, “The billions of taxpayer dollars allocated to the NIH should be used to fuel impactful, groundbreaking scientific research, not to satisfy gender and racial employment quotas. The Biden Administration’s countless DEI-first actions have undermined the concepts of meritocracy and meaningful research, and American ingenuity and innovation has suffered as a result. “The AWARD Act addresses these failures by requiring the NIH to use selection criteria based on the research to be done, not the social demographics of those conducting it, when awarding federal funds. Universities will have to explain how their proposals will benefit the nation, not demonstrate how inclusive or diverse they are. I’m proud to introduce this bill that will ensure taxpayer money is allocated in an evidence-based, mutually beneficial way, not as yet another tool weaponized in favor of the Radical Left’s social and political agenda.” Background: Each year the National Institutes of Health awards roughly $30 billion to universities and other research programs across the country. Many NIH programs, such as the Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST), have directed hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars towards DEI-centric research projects and hiring practices. As part of a FIRST program application, recipients must provide “diversity statements” and those who demonstrate a colorblind approach are penalized. In pursuit of these funds, multiple colleges have adopted extreme evaluation criteria and ideological practices. For example, one-third of the University of New Mexico’s evaluation cr… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman sent a letter to the Bureau of Land Management yesterday voicing strong concerns over their proposed Western Solar Plan that threatens the long-standing multiple-use mandate for millions of federally-managed acres throughout the West. She was joined by Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse and 6 others Members of Congress. “President Biden is continuing his war on the American West with this latest attempt to prop up unreliable and unaffordable energy to the detriment of the nation,” said Rep. Hageman. “This Western Solar Plan is nothing but another massive land grab designed to harm our legacy energy industries that have been under constant attack by this administration, and the Bureau of Land Management’s own proposal demonstrates the immense legal gymnastics they have gone through to prevent the production of energy resources that are actually reliable and affordable. “In their preferred alternative, the BLM claims that only land within 10 miles of high voltage power lines can be used for solar power, yet they include proposed and hypothetical power lines in their plan. In total, 22 million acres of land – land that could be used for mineral extraction, livestock grazing, and recreation – will be designated for potential solar generation, a drastically less reliable, less affordable, and less efficient form of energy production than oil, coal, natural gas, or nuclear. 162 million acres throughout the West, over 2.5 times the size of Wyoming, will be negatively impacted by this plan. Tellingly, only 1 page out of the over 1,000 pages in this report even mentions mineral resources and livestock grazing. This plan is an insult to the multiple use framework and the BLM must provide Congress with answers to these very serious concerns.” “The Biden Administration has consistently undermined the multiple-use mandate for our public lands, and the proposed revamp of the Western Solar Plan is no outlier,” said Chairman Newhouse. “This plan impacts 162 million acres of Fed… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Sens. John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis and Rep. Harriet Hageman, all R-Wyo., blasted the Bureau of Land Management’s final supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) and proposed amendment to its Buffalo Field Office land use plan. In the plan, the BLM bans future coal leasing in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. This impacts 12 of Wyoming’s active coal mines and will put 48 billion short-tons of BLM-administered federal coal off limits for mining. “President Biden continues to wage war on Wyoming’s coal communities and families,” said Senator Barrasso. “This short-sighted plan will kill future coal leases in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin – the most energy-rich area in the country. This will kill jobs and could cost Wyoming hundreds of millions of dollars used to pay for public schools, roads, and other essential services in our communities. Cutting off access to our strongest resources surrenders America's greatest economic advantages – to continue producing affordable, abundant, and reliable American energy.” “I am horrified to see the Biden administration’s latest assault on our nation’s domestic energy production,” said Senator Lummis. “Wyoming has been targeted left and right by rule after rule handed down by this administration as it works to cater to the extremists within the Democratic Party. The Cowboy State produces some of the cleanest and best coal in the world. This RMP will push our country to rely on foreign adversaries for energy needs at a time when our grid is pushed to the brim and Wyoming coal is needed now more than ever to power our nation and the world. I will work with my colleagues every step of the way to prevent this RMP from going into effect.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T18:12:30Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, the House of Representatives passed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2024, which sets forth the agency’s appropriations, activities and programs, and other key components of the United States’ National Airspace System. Among other priorities, the bill, which now heads to the White House to be signed into law, increases Congressional oversight of the FAA and National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB), directs new efforts to increase safety on commercial aircraft, reforms the Essential Air Service (EAS) Program that provides air service to rural communities, and addresses the shortage of pilots and air traffic controllers through various programs. In addition, the reauthorization bill includes multiple amendments and language requests submitted by Rep. Hageman, including provisions to reduce acquisition and maintenance costs of airport equipment and technology, train new “non-Federal weather observers” to provide critical weather reports to pilots operating near airports, and address rural workforce shortages. Finally, the bill includes a section that accomplishes the goal of Rep. Hageman’s Backcountry Aviation Protection Act to protect pilots conducting off-airport operations from FAA enforcement action. “The FAA Reauthorization Act provides multiple wins for Wyoming, the West, and the conservative movement,” said Rep. Hageman. “Our state and nation are better because of the many successes House Republicans secured in its final text. The Essential Air Service will continue to connect Wyoming’s rural towns to the rest of the nation, new efforts are created to recruit more air traffic controllers and pilots of civilian and military backgrounds, and multiple provisions will increase the West’s ability to fight wildfires from the air. In total, this is a good bill that moves our country forward. I’m proud to have multiple of my priorities included in this bill and to have voted in favor of its passage.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Hageman issued the following statement regarding the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) final rule mandating electronic identification (EID) eartags for bison and cattle moving interstate. “This rule is a solution in search of a problem. America produces the highest quality meat in the world and there is nothing wrong with our traditional disease traceability system. It is a federal mandate that American ranchers will have to pay for which will result in the chipping and tracing of American livestock. This mandate raises serious privacy concerns for ranchers and their herds, with the potential to lock ranchers out of their traditional markets, thereby furthering vertical integration of the U.S. food supply chain. I have fought this policy since 2019, and as your Representative I have the led the charge to defund this rule in Congress. In the coming weeks, I will introduce a joint resolution of disapproval pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn this harmful rule.” Background: Since the announcement of APHIS’s intent to mandate EID eartags, Rep. Hageman has led the Congressional effort to support America’s ranchers and block this rule. This opposition has included three op-eds describing the threats and consequences of such a mandate, countless radio and television interviews, and oversight letters to Department of Agriculture demanding the consideration of additional stakeholder input and the removal of the rule. In addition to her upcoming CRA resolution, Rep. Hageman has opposed the mandate during debate on the floor of the House of Representatives and sought to block the rule numerous times through the appropriations process, including by introducing an amendment to block federal funds from supporting the rule’s implementation. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted against a bill that was advertised as a response to Hamas-inspired campus unrest, but which instead provides no actual relief for terrorized Jewish students and infringes on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This poorly drafted bill only made it to the Floor of the House because the Republican Majority ignored its promise to follow regular order, which resulted in this flawed legislation – the hopefully-named Antisemitism Awareness Act – that causes grave free speech concerns and fails in its prinicpal task of protecting Jewish Americans across the country. Representative Hageman stated, “It is appalling to see the images of mobs of college students, which have been infiltrated by professional leftist protestors funded by George Soros, co-opting woke U.S. universities to threaten Jewish students in the name of supporting Hamas terrorists. These are acts of intimidation, including denying Jewish students access to certain campus facilities, and threats of violence, which are already illegal and should be prosecuted. I support the goal of the bill – to protect Jewish people in America – but in Congress we must follow the Constitution. “By using the definition of antisemitism from a foreign non-governmental organization, the bill attempts to criminalize what someone’s ‘perception’ of another person might be, which is a clear violation of the First Amendment. The bill also incorporates some of that organization’s examples of expressions of objectionable antisemitic opinions, which again, while I find them offensive, would obviously be considered Constitutionally protected speech. In the end, the bill effectively invalidates itself because it says it can’t be construed to infringe upon anyone’s rights, but the whole thing is a First Amendment violation on its face. As a final point, I will not vote to replace parts of our Constitution with the findings of a foreign organization on any subject. “I abhor terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, and … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T21:01:11Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman supported Public Lands Week by helping the House pass four bills defending sportsmen, mineral development, and access to public lands. Rep. Hageman is proud to cosponsor this entire slate of legislation that will push back on harmful bureaucrat regulations which weaponize environmental groups and activist judges against the American people. Specifically, the Trust the Science Act delists the Gray Wolf under the Endangered Species Act, returning management to the states. The Superior National Forest Restoration Act blocks the Biden Administration’s withdrawal of over 200,000 acres of copper and nickel mining in Minnesota. The Western Economic Security Today Act nullifies the BLM’s harmful Conservation and Landscape Health rule. Finally, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act prohibits the Departments of Agriculture and Interior from banning the use of lead hunting ammunition and fishing tackle. Upon passage of these bills Congresswoman said, “I worked for 15 years in private practice to get the gray wolves in Wyoming delisted through the court system. This bill represents Congress’s view that it is time to delist the gray wolves across the county. This is an Endangered Species Act success story and we should celebrate.” “Stopping the BLM’s Conservation and Landscape Health rule is the next step in blocking private ESG firms from partnering with federal bureaucrats to destroy our Western way of life. I previously worked alongside thousands of Wyoming citizens to block Natural Asset Companies which would have served as the funding mechanism for this rule. But the fight doesn’t stop there, and I remain vigilant against Biden’s whole of government campaign against the West.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

The baseless, subjective standards created by these rules seek to upend the coal mines and power plants that built Wyoming and this Country. For generations, the hard-working men and women of our state have dedicated their careers to making our lives better by responsibly developing Wyoming's vast natural resources.

Both bills, along with two other security supplemental bills, will be combined into one package with no opportunity for Congress to vote on that final package – making this bill the Senate supplemental that House Republicans have widely condemned. Representative Hageman stated, “Yesterday I voted NO on the rule that led to the combining of the four supplemental bills because there are clear differences between the need to support these separate and unrelated challenges. “We have already given Ukraine over $110 billion in its conflict against Russia. We have had minimal accounting and oversight related to these funds but do know that Ukraine is plagued by government corruption. We do not know Ukraine’s strategy to defeat Russia, nor do we know what the end game is for the conflict. I also find it insulting to our own citizens that we are including $300 million to secure the UKRAINIAN border and provide drug interdiction while providing no funds to secure our own borders. With this supplemental, the United States has now committed over $172 billion to the Ukraine/Russia conflict. The United States is $34 trillion in debt – this spending is unsustainable. “I voted YES on assistance to one of our closest allies Israel to help respond to the brutal and unprovoked terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas and Iran. House Republicans are clear in our demands – secure the border and defend Israel. This is the only provision of the package which delivers on these priorities, and I will always stand with Israel in the face of terror. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

This rule vote is consequential because although it allows for separate votes on Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan funding, and a Russia/Iran Sanctions bill, the rule would then force all bills to be combined into one package with no opportunity for Congress to vote on that final package – essentially making the bill the Senate supplemental that House Republicans have widely condemned. Representative Hageman stated, “Time and time again, conservatives in the House of Representatives have expressed their strong objections to combining aid to Israel with additional funding of the war in Ukraine, yet that is exactly what happened today when the House passed a rule to combine four separate bills into one. This smoke and mirrors tactic that provided the illusion of separation is disingenuous and not how business should be conducted in Congress. In the past, I have always supported rule votes so that debate could be had and a final vote on a bill could occur. In this situation, the rule would actually limit debate and discussion. “The legislation that this rule ties together is reckless in the amount of money being spent and the lack of accountability it requires. The package provides nearly $61 billion to Ukraine, including $300 million to secure the UKRAINIAN border. This additional funding brings the total amount that the United States has committed to the Ukraine/Russia conflict to over $172 billion. What is the end game? How is this money being spent? Where is the oversight? Why aren’t we spending $300 million to secure OUR borders? “In addition to Ukraine funding, the package contains $9 billion for ‘Humanitarian Aid’ – it is a certainty that a significant portion of these dollars will find their way to Hamas terrorists. In total, over $95 billion in funding is being distributed via four bills. This massive spending package is not… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Western Caucus Members responded to the Biden Administration’s recent Conservation and Landscape Health final rule from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). This rule violates the multiple-use mandate established by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and is a direct threat to rural America. "This devastating decision threatens the western way of life and is a slap in the face for local communities who have diligently stewarded America's resources for generations. Access and the multiple uses of BLM land are an integral part of life in western states and is the backbone of rural economies across the country,” said House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman (AR-04). “When this rule was proposed, several westerngovernors, members of Congress, and thousands of Americans used BLM’s comment period to publicly share their opposition, yet their concerns have gone unheard. Today is another example of the Biden administration leaving local communities out of the conversation and blatantly disregarding input from the American families that are impacted the most. This rule fundamentally threatens the land we use to feed and fuel our country and is at best vaguely defined, unnecessary and burdensome. Fortunately, the House Committee on Natural Resources has been advancing a solution. Congressman Curtis's WEST Act amplifies the concerns of stakeholders across western states and will require the BLM director to withdraw this severely misguided rule and manage lands in accordance with the agency’s statutory multiple use mandate. I look forward to doing everything in my power to help get the WEST Act through the House and I’d like to thank Congressman Curtis for his leadership on this important issue." “BLM’s new rule effectively cedes control of federal lands from those who have been managing the land for generations through ranching and grazing,” said Executive Vice Chair Doug LaMalfa (CA-01). “Access to BLM land is a fundamental part of life in western states and essentia… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman and Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced bipartisan and bicameral legislation – the Postal Operations Stay Timely and Local (POSTAL) Act, which prevents the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from closing, consolidating, or downgrading its processing and distribution centers (P&DC) nationwide if such an action would remove the sole P&DC within a state or negatively impact mail delivery. The Senate bill is co-sponsored by Senator John Barrasso and the House bill is co-led by Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01). “All Americans rely upon USPS to receive correspondence, bills, packages, and medication in a timely manner,” said Representative Hageman. “If fulfilled, the USPS modernization plan threatens the promise of timely, secure mail delivery by transporting the bulk of Wyoming’s mail out of state, while also forcing many USPS P&DC employees to either relocate or lose their jobs. The closure of P&DCs bring serious election integrity concerns by forcing the transport of mailed-in ballots out of state, introducing the potential for delivery of ballots after an election concludes. “The POSTAL Act alleviates these concerns by ensuring that any P&DC realignment or modernization actions done by the USPS cannot result in a negative impact on mail delivery or close the final P&DC within a state’s borders. I’m proud to be joined by Congressman Chris Pappas of New Hampshire and Senator Lummis to introduce this bipartisan, bicameral bill.” “While this administration creates unnecessary disruptions in mail delivery across the state of Wyoming by closing sorting facilities in a laughable display of ‘fiscal responsibility,’ they are senselessly spending billions of Wyoming tax dollars on their left-wing priorities,” said Senator Lummis. “In-state mail should not have to leave the state of Wyoming for processing, yet under this administration’s string of closures, that’s the harsh reality for Wyoming and a handful of states across the U.S. Every single state should have at least one sor… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

Hageman stated, “Secretary Mayorkas has violated his oath of office and is derelict in his obligation to keep us safe from enemies foreign and domestic. The two articles of impeachment were filed in response to his willful and systemic refusal to comply with – and violation of -- federal immigration laws, and breach of the public trust. “Despite Democrat assertions, this is a serious and detailed impeachment that deserves to be heard by the Senators – and by the American people. There have been 21 impeachments in the history of the United States House of Representatives – none were simply dismissed without a trial by the Senate. “The Secretary is not being impeached due to “differences in policy.” He has committed multiple impeachable offenses and must be held accountable. The Senate has an obligation to hold a trial, to hear evidence presented, and to seriously deliberate after the evidence is heard. This is not theater; it is a solemn duty that has been followed in all twenty-one prior impeachments. Now is not the time for the Senate to set precedent or be derelict in its duty.” ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, the House Committee on Natural Resources advanced Rep. Hageman’s bill, H.R. 7375, which reforms the way in which expression of interest (EOI) fees are assessed under the Mineral Leasing Act. Under this bill, operators will not have to pay EOI fees unless the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) holds a lease sale for the parcel of interest. In addition, it would extend an EOI’s validity from three to five years. Rep. Hageman stated, “I am proud of the important step taken today to fight back against Biden’s war on fossil fuels, restore fairness in our mineral leasing process and encourage the BLM to resume their duty of issuing leases. Operators should not be forced to fund the BLM through EOI fees for leases they are not awarded, and the BLM should not be paid if they continue to refuse to do their job as assigned by Congress. By adjusting the way in which these fees are assessed and extending the active period for EOIs, we will provide a more level playing field for our fossil fuel operators and provide yet another incentive to ensure the BLM resumes its duty to issue leases.” House Natural Resources Chairman, Rep. Bruce Westerman said, “H.R. 7375 brings changes to the Expression of Interest fee collection process and ensures accountability for successful bidders. These reforms simplify processes and promote responsible energy production, something that’s desperately needed under the Biden administration. Representative Hageman has been a tireless leader for energy security on our committee, and I look forward to continuing to work with her to move this bill through the legislative process.” Background: Under the Inflation Reduction Act, operators must pay a nonrefundable fee of $5.00 per acre included an expression of interest (EOI) for oil and gas leases at the time the EOI is submitted. These EOI fees must be submitted regardless of whether an operator is awarded the lease, and a 2022 announcement by the Bureau of Land Management will force all pending EOIs to expire every 3 years, pot… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1246, a bill to provide flexibility and certainty in the tribal land leasing process. The bill amends the Long-Term Leasing Act to allow all federally recognized tribes to enter into leases for up to 99 years. Following today’s bipartisan passage, the legislation will be sent to the Senate for consideration. Congresswoman Hageman stated, “A significant barrier to economic development on tribal lands is the uncertainty associated with twenty-five-year lease agreements as currently provided for in the Long-Term Leasing Act. By creating optionality for tribes to extend land leasing up to 99 years, we will open greater economic potential and streamline development opportunities. As a result, tribes will have new capabilities to prosper and become more empowered to chart their own course.” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman, Rep. Bruce Westerman said “H.R. 1246 provide a means by which tribes can continue to grow their economies by authorizing longer leases on trust lands, which will give communities the necessary time for long-term economic projects not currently possible due to lease time restrictions. As Chair of the Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs, Representative Hageman has been a true champion of tribal issues since joining the committee and Congress, and I am proud to have helped her pass this bipartisan bill through the House.” Background: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:47:55Z

The letter urges Leader Schumer to do his job and convene the Senate to hold a trial. Representative Hageman stated, “Secretary Mayorkas has violated his oath of office and is derelict in his obligation to keep us safe from enemies foreign and domestic. The House has filed two articles of impeachment against him in response to his willful and systemic refusal to comply with – and violation of -- federal immigration laws, and breach of the public trust. Despite Democrat assertions to the contrary, this is a serious and warranted impeachment, with the underlying facts and basis being deserving of a hearing in the U.S. Senate, with exposure to the American public. “History has borne out the fact that when the House impeaches a president, the Senate should hold a public trial and deliberate the articles. There have been 21 impeachments in the history of the United States House of Representatives – the Senate has never simply dismissed such cases without a trial. “The House did not impeach Secretary Mayorkas because of “differences in policy.” He has violated the law and must be held accountable.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted NO on a bloated appropriations package of six funding bills (‘minibus’) that continues to overspend at historic levels. Representative Hageman stated, “This 1,102 page bill that spends $1.2 trillion taxpayer dollars was provided to us a mere 32 hours before we were expected to vote on it. Sadly, this is business as usual in Washington, DC. It continues spending at higher levels than the Covid era FY2023 appropriations package, does nothing to end the Biden border invasion, fails to defund DEI and radical climate programs, and further explodes our obscenely high $34 trillion-dollar national debt. To add insult to injury, the minibus was written behind closed doors and did not go through the rules committee or allow for any amendments. “This is not what winning looks like and it is not what the American people sent us here to accomplish.” ‘Minibus’ failures: At a cost of $1.2 trillion to American taxpayers, the bill does nothing to cut spending from record high Covid-era levels – even as our national debt soared past $34 trillion. Does not include any meaningful border security provisions, such as those included in H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, which was passed by the House a year ago and has never been taken up by the Senate. Does not eliminate funding to the World Health Organization (WHO). Does not defund Biden’s unconstitutional student loan bailouts. Does not eliminate Diversity Equity, Inclusion (DEI) programs in federal agencies. Does not end Department of Defense abortion travel funding. Continues to fund flawed “climate” programs. Provides $32.5 million for the United Nations Population Fund. Provides $200 million for a new FBI headquarters – even as FBI leadership has been weaponized against the American people, surveilling parents at school board meetings, families attending church, and pro-life individuals. ### 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:32:04Z

Rep. Hageman stated, “I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, and proud to vote in favor of both bills. Since his first day in office, Joe Biden has done everything possible to end oil and gas development and mineral production, which has caused massive increases in energy poverty and reliance on despots and dictators for those resources we need to power our economy. His radical bureaucrats that are pushing rules and guidance to further his unreliable “green” solutions, and they must be stopped.

The RSC Budget is a thorough plan to address our federal spending problem and start paying down our debts. The FY-25 budget balances in just seven years, cuts spending by $16.7 trillion over ten years, and reduces taxes on Americans by $5.3 trillion over ten years. Chairman Hern said, "Our budget is proof that it's possible to balance the budget, it's possible to operate in the black. The federal debt is daunting, but it's not hopeless. Conservative policies work together across the whole of government to lower spending, lower taxes, decrease the size and scope of the federal government, and spur economic growth. Chairman Cline and our Task Force Members have done incredible work to get this done a month early. Conservatives have a plan to restore fiscal sanity - it's time to get to work!" RSC Budget and Spending Task Force Chair Rep. Ben Cline said, “Decades of Washington’s reckless spending habits have left the American People to foot the bill through high inflation and rising costs, and we cannot continue down this irresponsible path. The RSC budget proposes responsible, common-sense policy that bolsters the American economy, lowers inflation, slashes wasteful spending, and reverses the harmful, regressive, wasteful, and unnecessary policies that are crushing hardworking families. It’s far past time that Washington restores fiscal responsibility, reduces spending, and balances the federal budget to get our country back on the right track.” The budget is made up of 285 individual bills and initiatives from 192 Members. Task Force Member Rep. Bob Good said, "Under President Biden's failed leadership, Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

Hageman Introduces Backcountry Aviation Protection Act 2024-03-14 2024 2024-03 Republican House WY Harriet M. Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Yesterday, Congresswoman Hageman introduced H.R. 7660, the Backcountry Aviation Protection Act, which provides protection for certified pilots performing established training and FAA-recommended safety maneuvers to prepare for off-airport landings. Current FAA regulations only allow pilots to break minimum altitude restrictions for takeoff or landing, leaving pilots who abort landings for safety reasons at risk of legal enforcement action. H.R. 7660 ensures that bush pilots are able to perform low-altitude inspection passes of potential remote landing zones – a maneuver recommended by the FAA – as well as common training maneuvers like go-arounds, practice approaches, and instrument approaches, by including these maneuvers in the FAA’s minimum altitude exceptions list. Rep. Hageman stated, “Bush flying is a well-established industry that is vital to isolated communities across the American West, and bush pilots are responsible for safely operating their aircraft to protect their passengers and plane. The Backcountry Aviation Protection Act will give pilots reassurance that they can abort an unsafe off-airport landing without worrying that the FAA will try to take away their license and will ensure that pilots are able to regularly practice the maneuvers needed for safe flight without fear of FAA enforcement action. “This bill prevents pilots from being penalized for ensuring the safety of their aircraft and passengers and corrects the FAA’s absurd regulatory overreach that far exceeds the intent of current law.” Background: A recent FAA enforcement action ruling could result in legal action against pilots who perform inspection passes over potential off-airport landing zones. The FAA’s own Off Airport Ops Guide recommends that pilots make these passes when deciding on a landing zone. FAA regulations (14 C.F.R. § 91.119) prescribe the minimum flight altitudes for aircraft but only except takeoffs and landings from these altitudes, meaning pilots who make an inspection pass but do not land are… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:32:04Z

Representative Hageman stated, “With user data on millions of Americans and over 210 million downloads in the United States, TikTok is a clear and present danger to our national security. Due to the structure of laws governing business under the Chinese Communist Party, this user data is not only available to parent company ByteDance, but also to the Chinese government. The potential for nefarious uses, spying, and manipulation of data is of significant concern. We have often talked about Communist China’s land ownership in America being a threat to our security – this data ownership is equally dangerous. “For users of TikTok, this legislation does not ‘ban’ the app, but rather forces the Chinese Communist Party controlled ByteDance to divest of its ownership stake in the app.” Background: 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:32:04Z

Res. 1061, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. The vote funds six of the twelve FY2024 spending bills. Rep. Hageman stated, “Washington’s addiction to spending must be stopped. With a national debt of over $34 trillion – a debt that is growing by $1 trillion every 100 days, we must be bold in our efforts to fix this very real problem. Some issues are too important not to fight for, and our obscene national debt is one of those issues. This minibus provides over $60 billion more in discretionary spending than the same six appropriations bills drafted by House Republicans earlier this year. “This bloated legislation is full of spending gimmicks used to circumvent the already absurdly high spending caps touted within the minibus. By converting regular, government as usual operations into hundreds of millions in ‘emergency spending’ the true amounts of spending are not included in the top line numbers of this appropriations package and it deceptively circumvents spending limits put in place, which are already too high. “In addition to this overspending, many of the issues that are of importance to Wyoming and that were included in earlier bills passed by the House of Representatives have been left out of this minibus. Delisting the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem Grizzly and stopping the implementation of the Rock Springs Resource Management Plan were stripped from the final spending package, and money to implement a program that isn’t even law - EID Ear Tags for cattle and bison, was increased - making our fight against mandatory EID even more difficult. “This package of spending bills is not the change we need to restore fiscal responsibility in our federal government, and trying to sell it to the American people as such is dishonest.” Other significant concerns with H.

NACs create a financial vehicle for radical environmental activists to raise capital to seize public and private lands in Wyoming and restrict energy production, grazing, mining, recreation and additional economic development. “Economies in Wyoming and across the West thrive from mining, grazing, energy production and timber logging. The New York Stock Exchange tried to sell-out America’s public lands to the highest bidder. We cannot allow this liberal playbook to be used again,” said Barrasso. “Ongoing efforts to bring NACs to the market would hurt responsible land and resource management activities. Our legislation makes sure greedy exchanges and radical, climate elitists are not able to take our public lands hostage and disrupt our way of life in Wyoming.” “Wyoming’s economy depends on access to federal land as our landscapes generate income for multiple industries and draw thousands of people to the Cowboy State each year,” said Lummis. “Allowing NACs to be listed on stock exchanges would create a backdoor way for activist liberal investors to implement the Green New Deal by locking up millions of acres of land. The people of Wyoming will always be the best stewards of our land, not activists and certainly not foreign nationals.” “NACs would change U.S. land access, management, use, and ownership as we know it,” said Hageman. “As if that weren’t bad enough, as proposed, there are no limits placed on who can buy these lands—China, Russia, Iran, and other bad actors would be free to participate and shut down U.S. energy, mineral and food production.” Background: The Protect America’s Lands Act amends the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to prohibit the listing and … 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

Hageman stated, “While I appreciate that Speaker Johnson believes that the House and Senate are moving closer to an agreement among leadership, we cannot continue the ridiculous spending being carried forward with each new extension of FY2023 appropriations. We are now on our 4th continuation of kicking of the can down the road and with each passing day, thousands more illegals enter our nation and millions more dollars are added to our debt. “As I have repeatedly said, our nation is 34 trillion dollars in debt and over 10 million people have illegally crossed our southern border.

The work that we have done in the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has revealed shocking accounts of how FBI agents and other federal officials have censored and suppressed our rights to free speech and practice of religion, surveilled parents attending school board meetings, and created a two-tiered system of justice. Until now, there has not been a mechanism to hold the bad actors within federal agencies personally accountable for violating our rights.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs Representatives Carol Miller (R-WV), Harriet Hageman (R-WY), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), and Dan Meuser (R-PA) commended the ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that vacated a prior ruling from the district court which led to a nationwide injunction against all federal coal leases. These leases were unlawfully blocked until the Bureau of Land Management underwent a redundant environmental impact review. The Ninth Circuit correctly agreed with the National Mining Association and the states of Wyoming and Montana that the case should have ended once the 2021 Department of Interior Secretarial Order was rescinded after being challenged. “We have witnessed over and over again the devastating impact of President Obama’s and now President Biden’s war on coal. We applaud the Ninth Circuit for following the law and ending this injunction on federal coal leases. During this time of international strife, devastating inflation, and sky-high energy prices, we must be doing everything we can to unlock America’s energy and natural resources. This ruling is a step in the right direction, but we have many more battles to win to roll back the detrimental consequences of the Biden Administration’s disastrous energy policies,” said the Congressional Coal Caucus Co-Chairs. The Congressional Coal Caucus is the voice of American coal communities in Congress. It represents both eastern and western mining states, along with all of the types of coal produced throughout the country. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for violating his oath of office and his obligation to keep us safe from enemies foreign and domestic. The two articles of impeachment were filed for willfully and systemically refusing to comply with – and violating -- federal immigration laws and breach of the public trust. This breach of trust extends beyond our borders into the censorship of protected free speech. Congresswoman Hageman has been selected by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to serve as an impeachment manager for any upcoming Senate trial of Secretary Mayorkas. Hageman stated, “Not only has Secretary Mayorkas overseen an invasion across our borders, allowing enough fentanyl and other drugs to kill every man, woman, and child in the U.S., human trafficking controlled by vicious cartels, hundreds of people on the terror watch list, and a total of over 8.3 million illegal entries to date, he has lied to Congress multiple times while under oath and dismantled successful border policy that has led to the crisis we have today. “He is the walking, talking epitome of the sort of tyrant that our founders were concerned would gravitate towards a career in government. It is because of people like him that the 1stAmendment was drafted. “To that point, Mayorkas has weaponized the federal government to censor law-abiding citizens – Christians attending mass, parents attending school board meetings, people sharing information on social media, and more. This censorship has been blatant – and it has been targeted against political opponents of the President. The Secretary took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not circumvent it. “Secretary Mayorkas must be held accountable for both the long-term effect of this border crisis and the censorship weaponization he has directed against the American people. I am grateful to be one of the select few chosen by Speaker Johnson to prosecute this case in the Senate, and I thank him for the confidence… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – This week, U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis and Representative Harriet Hageman, all R-Wyo., sent a letter to United States Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy expressing their strong opposition to proposed changes to remove mail sorting facilities from Wyoming that would negatively impact mail service throughout the state. In the letter, the delegation relays concerns that the state of Wyoming is being overlooked and shortchanged. They also highlight how these changes could impact Wyoming’s election mail due to processing delays. “Reliable, timely, and efficient mail service in Wyoming is just as important as anywhere else in the nation…We commend and appreciate both the structural and operational improvements that the USPS has sought to implement, and while we understand these changes are taking effect across the nation, it must be highlighted and understood that Wyoming is likely one of the few states that will ultimately be losing the bulk, if not all, of its mail processing capabilities. Among other anticipated service disruptions, multiple concerns have also been raised, notably by the Wyoming Secretary of State, as to the effects these proposals will have on Wyoming’s ballot-counting operations and the integrity of the state’s election systems,” wrote the delegation. “If election mail faces processing delays due to their being in another state, this effectively undermines Wyoming’s electoral process. This is simply not acceptable, and stripping Wyoming of these processing services places our state’s operations on an unequal footing compared to other states. Wyoming’s mail deserves to be processed in Wyoming.” It is with these concerns in mind that the Wyoming Congressional Delegation has requested a meeting with Postmaster General Dejoy to determine more satisfactory ways to address USPS operations. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

Representative Hageman stated, “There are over 1,000 federal grant programs spanning 26 grant-making agencies and billions of dollars available in annual awards. Navigating this complex system as a local government or community organization can be time-consuming, frustrating, and expensive. These complexities can result in late submissions and missed opportunities. Hiring qualified grant writers can be very costly depending on their level of experience. In many cases, this is simply not feasible for local communities. “Modern technology should make life better, not add more confusion. Improving efficiency and providing greater transparency in the federal grant process is a win for everyone involved.” What does the GRANT Act do? 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z

This bill, which now advances to the Senate, will transfer ownership of an unused hydropower plant located in Pavillion, Wyoming from the Bureau of Reclamation to the local Midvale Irrigation District. Congresswoman Hageman stated, “The passage of H.R. 3415 is a significant victory for Wyoming’s economy and reduces the burden on our taxpayers. This bill will revitalize the currently dormant Pilot Butte Power Plant, provide the Midvale Irrigation District and Fremont County with a valuable energy and revenue producing resource, and relieves the Bureau of Reclamation of the financial and administrative costs associated with maintaining, retrofitting, or disposing of the plant. “Local entities such as Midvale know best the intricacies of water management in their area, and adding this infrastructure to their portfolio will help Wyoming optimize water usage, invest profits directly into their community, and provide Wyoming’s citizens with yet another affordable, reliable source of energy. “Conveying this plant to Midvale Irrigation District truly is a win for all parties involved. I thank Midvale Irrigation District, the Bureau of Reclamation for their support and interest in providing this infrastructure to the people of Wyoming. I also thank Sen. Barrasso for his work shepherding the Senate’s version of this bill, which I encourage them to consider and pass as soon as possible.” House Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman lent his support to the bill, stating, “Representative Hageman has worked hard on solutions for Wyoming both in the Natural Resources Committee and in Congress by introducing bills that directly impact local issues. She continues to do this with H.R. 3415, aiding the people of Pavillion, Wyoming for years to come by conveying the Pilot Butte Power Plant to the Midvale Irrigation.

Hageman H001096 hageman.house.gov hageman https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman cosigned an Amicus Brief for Fischer v. United States, led by Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Jim Jordan, that would decide whether the D.C. Circuit Court misapplied Statute 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2), the obstruction of an official proceeding law in January 6th cases. Representative Hageman stated, “We have seen clear evidence of the weaponization of our government against its citizens. In this case it is about manipulating statutes to prosecute political opponents. “This Amicus brief specifically argues that a financial crimes statute, which was created in response to Enron, is being misapplied as part of the weaponization of the federal government. Despite having never previously been used outside of that context, the Department of Justice has leveraged the significant prison time imposed by this statute to obtain guilty pleas from those who were present around the Capitol on January 6th. “As further evidence of the DOJ’s overly broad interpretation of the statute is incorrect, I would point to the fact that they haven’t brought any such cases against others who have attempted to delay or shut down Congress—including the pro-Hamas protestors who “occupied” the Capitol buildings a few months ago, Congressman Jamal Bowman after his fire alarm scandal, or protestors at Supreme Court confirmation hearings. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z
