Representative Harriet Hageman, currently serving the U.S. Congress for Wyoming’s at-large district since 2023, has recently made announcements on several legislative and policy matters through her social media platform. Hageman, who succeeded Liz Cheney, has taken to addressing issues ranging from legal reform to safety standards in trucking.
On April 9, 2025, Hageman discussed her legislative work focused on expediting legal appeals. She announced, "Americans shouldn't wait years for legal disputes to be resolved. My Expedited Appeals Review Act, reported out of @NatResources today, addresses this." Hageman elaborated that the act is intended to streamline the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) process, tackle a backlog of over 650 cases, and provide protection for ranchers, energy developers, and land users.
On the following day, April 10, Hageman addressed the issue of gender identity and medical procedures for minors. She stated, "The success rate of sex change procedures for children is zero, because you can't change your sex." This statement aligns with her views on the subject, which she has publicly shared in the past.
On April 11, Hageman expressed her concerns regarding language proficiency requirements for truck drivers. She noted the potential safety risks involved, saying, "If you can’t read English, you can’t understand road signs or follow safety instructions. That puts lives at risk." She referenced a letter she wrote advocating for the reinstatement of English language standards for truck drivers.
Harriet Hageman, a Wyoming native born in Fort Laramie, continues to address various policy issues as part of her congressional duties. Hageman graduated from the University of Wyoming with a BS and a JD in 1989, and she currently resides in Cheyenne.
