Liz Cheney raises more record funds in Wyoming US House race

Associated Press  

— The Donald Trump-backed opponent of Liz Cheney finished 2021 with what in any previous year would have been a major fundraising haul for Wyoming but amounted to a small fraction of the over $2 million raised by Cheney for her best quarter yet. Her $2.04 million raised in the fourth quarter of 2021 topped her previous record of $1.9 million in the year’s second quarter, according to year-end Federal Election Commission filings due Monday. Hageman launched her campaign for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat last summer, running on her ties with the state’s ranching community and her experience in agriculture-related legal issues. A Democrat hasn’t represented Wyoming in the U.S. House since Teno Roncalio decided not to seek reelection and Dick Cheney first won the seat in 1978.
