Wyoming Delegation Lands Powerful Congressional Positions

It's 2025. The Republicans have taken over Congress, and we have a Republican President.

New majorities mean new roles and even new leadership positions.

Recently I had a chance to talk on Wyoming's morning radio talk show to Wyoming's lone Representative, Harriet Hegaman about what new leadership positions she will hold in Congress. (Wake Up Wyoming With Glenn Woods).

Rep. Harriet Hageman will serve as the chair of the Anti-Woke Caucus in the House. She has worked on that committee for a number of years. Its role, among other things, will be to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to end what a press release from Hageman calls “radical leftist ideologies.”

You can hear my interview with Rep. Hegeman, below.

Hageman was also appointed chair of the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries within the House Committee on Natural Resources along with the Subcommittee on Energy and Natural Resources.

On the Senate side, Sen. John Barrasso will continue to serve on the Committees on Energy and Natural Resources, Finance, and Foreign Relations.

Sen Barrasso has stepped up to the plate with his new role as GOP Senate Majority Whip, the second-ranking Republican position in the Senate.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis continues on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and Environment and Public Works.

Watch for Sen. Lummus as a (DOGE) Caucus in efforts to find ways to cut government spending.

Lummis also chairs the Senate Western Caucus focusing on economic development, natural resources, energy independence, and smart public land management.

Wyoming may be the least populated state, but its members in Congress have found their way into important positions giving The Cowboy State a loud and powerful voice in Congress.
