EVANSTON — The 2022 Wyoming Primary Election has come to a close, with attention now shifting toward the the November general election. Unofficial results for municipal, county, state and national offices are available online. Specific ballot information may be found on uintacounty.com and sos.wyo.gov. The results will become official after canvassing is complete, which was underway Thursday.

In what may have been Wyoming’s most heated race, the Republican U.S. House primary, Harriet Hageman defeated incumbent U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, with a statewide vote count of 113,025 to 49,316. In Uinta County, Hageman won 4,030 votes against Cheney’s 1,156.

Lynnette GreyBull won the Democratic U.S. House primary with 4,503 votes statewide, to Meghan Jensen’s 1,833. Within Uinta County, the candidates respectively won votes totaling 109 and 56.

Hageman addressed supporters Tuesday evening from the Cheyenne Frontier Days Event Center.

“Wyoming has drawn a line in the sand that if we put you in power, you will be accountable to us, you will answer to us, and you will do what is in our best interest,” she said. “And if you don’t, we will fire you.”

Hageman also repeated a common accusation that Cheney doesn’t really live in Wyoming and that she grew up in Virginia.

“If you are going to claim to live in Wyoming, you’d better damn well live in Wyoming,” she said.

Hageman, a Cheyenne attorney, also thanked former Pres. Donald Trump and others who endorsed her, acknowledging the boost she received from them.

Cheney, in her concession speech, stayed the course that led to her Tuesday night trouncing — attempting to hold Trump’s feet to the fire concerning the deadly events that took place at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Two years ago, I won this primary with 73% of the vote,” Cheney said in her concession speech. “I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear. But it would’ve required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election. It would’ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. That was a path I could not and would not take.”

Cheney told supporters elected officials are sworn to protect principals, not political parties.

“No House seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect,” she said, “and I well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty. Our Republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office — to accept, honorably, the outcome of elections. And tonight, Harriet Hageman has received the most votes in this primary. She won. I called her to concede the race. This primary election is over. But now the real work begins.”

U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., congratulated Hageman on her victory.

“Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her primary win,” Barrasso said in a press release Tuesday evening. “Harriet will be a tremendous ally in the fight to unleash American energy, combat inflation and secure our southern border. Along with Cynthia Lummis, the three of us will be a strong, conservative, and effective team for the people of Wyoming.”
