Wyoming is a very red state; in 2020, Trump beat Biden 70%-27% there, and its legislature sports 57 Republicans to 12 Democrats.
But the state is so sparsely populated it has only one seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Like its governor and U.S. senators, its congressperson is a statewide elected official.
That person currently is Liz Cheney, a Republican of integrity who defends the Constitution, democracy, and rule of law; and who places a high value on character, honesty, and truth. When Wyoming holds its primary on August 16, voters will have a chance to return this jewel to Congress.
Polls strongly indicate they won’t. In which case what’s there to say, other than she’s better than they are, and more than they deserve?
And if, as expected, Harriet Hageman defeats Cheney in the primary and is elected in November, she’ll not only have a tough act to follow, but will wear the stain of having removed her party’s best House member from Congress.
