Opposes federal court decisions halting oil and gas drilling in Converse County, Wyoming, and argues that courts are overreaching into legislative authority.
The statement criticizes federal judges for overreaching into legislative authority and substituting judicial judgment for proper lawmaking, arguing Congress must reclaim Article I authority. The bill directly addresses this concern by reducing judicial deference to agency interpretations and requiring de novo review of agency actions—a mechanism to constrain judicial and executive power in favor of legislative standards. The rep's yes vote aligns with the stated position that courts are exceeding their proper role.
Opposes federal court decisions halting oil and gas drilling in Converse County, Wyoming, and argues that courts are overreaching into legislative authority.
Congresswoman Hageman's statement opposes judicial intervention blocking oil and gas development and advocates for Congress to reclaim legislative authority over energy policy. Her yes vote on Alaska's Right to Produce Act—which mandates oil and gas leasing in ANWR and limits presidential/judicial authority to halt such leases—is directionally consistent with this position. Both the statement and vote reflect support for advancing oil and gas development and constraining court/executive power to block it.

The statement opposes federal court decisions blocking oil and gas drilling in Wyoming and criticizes judicial overreach into energy policy. The bill requires the BLM to withdraw a proposed rule that would restrict oil and gas leasing on public lands. The rep's YES vote on legislation that blocks restrictions on oil and gas leasing aligns with her stated opposition to court-imposed drilling halts and support for energy development. The specific policy direction—enabling rather than constraining oil and gas activity—is consistent between statement and vote.

Opposes federal court decisions halting oil and gas drilling in Converse County, Wyoming, and argues that courts are overreaching into legislative authority.
Hageman's statement opposes court intervention blocking oil and gas development and advocates for energy development in Wyoming. Her yes vote on the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, which funds fossil energy programs and related energy infrastructure, aligns directionally with her pro-energy development position. However, the appropriations bill is a broad funding measure covering multiple agencies and energy types (including renewables and nuclear), not a targeted oil and gas drilling authorization, creating some distance between the specific drilling dispute she addresses and the general energy funding she supported.
Opposes federal court decisions halting oil and gas drilling in Converse County, Wyoming, and argues that courts are overreaching into legislative authority.
The statement opposes federal court intervention in oil and gas development and calls for Congress to reclaim legislative authority from the judiciary. The Lower Energy Costs Act advances oil and gas production by restricting presidential moratorium power on fracking and affirming state regulatory primacy—substantively aligned with the statement's pro-energy-development position. However, the statement's core complaint is about judicial overreach in a specific case, while the bill addresses legislative-executive balance and energy policy generally. The rep's yes vote supports the bill's energy production goals, which is directionally consistent with opposing court-imposed drilling halts.

The statement opposes federal court intervention blocking oil and gas development and argues courts are overreaching into legislative authority. The HEATS Act advances energy development by exempting geothermal activities from federal permitting and environmental review requirements—a legislative approach to reducing federal regulatory barriers. The rep's YES vote aligns with the stated goal of enabling energy development and reclaiming legislative authority from courts. However, the statement specifically addresses oil and gas drilling in Converse County halted by judicial order, while the bill addresses geothermal activities and exempts them from federal review requirements rather than directly overturning court decisions. The mechanisms differ (legislative exemption vs. judicial restraint), creating some granularity mismatch.
Opposes federal court decisions halting oil and gas drilling in Converse County, Wyoming, and argues that courts are overreaching into legislative authority.
Both the statement and bill address federal court overreach into resource management, and the rep's YES vote on legislation that strips judicial review aligns with her stated opposition to 'rogue judges' substituting their judgment for legislative authority. However, the statement specifically concerns oil and gas drilling in Converse County, while the bill addresses gray wolf delisting under the ESA—different resource-management questions. The rep's support for removing judicial review is consistent with her broader critique of judicial overreach, but the bill does not directly address the drilling halt she opposed in her statement.

ICYMI: Harriet Hageman Holds Roundtable With FBI Director Kash Patel At University Of Wyoming
Position: The release highlights the Safer Skies Act, which Rep. Hageman voted to include in the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act, giving state and local law enforcement authority to disable security-risk drones around major sporting events. It also promotes the FBI's Operation Not Forgotten 2026 and its results against violence and missing persons on tribal lands, and references tying cartel activity to crime on reservations.
Washington, DC – On Wednesday, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) joined FBI Director Kash Patel for a roundtable at the University of Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium to discuss the wide range of federal law enforcement operations across the state.
Rep. Hageman and Director Patel talked for roughly a half hour about highway safety and new technologies impacting public safety. In 2025, Rep. Hageman voted to include the Safer Skies Act to the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act giving state and local law enforcement authority to disable drones that represent a security risk around major sporting events.
Last week, the FBI and Department of Justice also released the results of an initiative designed to find Murdered and Missing Indigenous Persons (MMIP) and crack down on reservation violence. Known as Operation Not Forgotten 2026, and carried out between April 1 and September 30, federal officials made 118 arrests, issued federal charges for 41 individuals, recovered 72 weapons, and located 25 child victims.
“This year’s Operation Not Forgotten continued this FBI’s largest commitment to Indian Country in the history of the Bureau,” Patel said in a DOJ press release. “The results were outstanding – from April 1 through September 30, this FBI worked more than 500 cases, a 59% increase from last year’s operation; 118 arrests, a 123% increase; and 41 subjects charged federally, a 52% increase. This is in addition to 25 child victims identified or located and 72 weapons recovered. These involved life-saving operations, with cases including child sexual abuse, physical assault and abuse, domestic violence, CSAM cases, and more.”
Rep. Hageman and Director Patel discussed the FBI’s priorities to address crime on tribal lands, often exacerbated by illegal alien drug cartels, during a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee last year. Watch here.

Position: The release supports requiring visible hazard placards on containers, vehicles, and rail cars transporting lithium-ion batteries to improve safety for first responders, law enforcement, and the public. It also states a request that PHMSA update hazardous materials regulations administratively while Congress considers the bill.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the Battery Safety Placarding Act to require shipping labels for containers transporting lithium-ion batteries.
The lithium-ion battery market has exploded by more than 20 percent since 2024 with nearly every mode of transportation now involved in carrying this $150 billion dollar industry. A series of recent conflagrations across multiple modes of transit, however, have demonstrated the need to reduce safety risks associated with delivering this highly combustible technology nationwide. The danger presented by lithium-ion battery fires are often exacerbated by thermal runaway, wherein a violent chain of chemical reactions lead to extreme temperatures, toxic gas release, and an occasional explosion.
“Clear labeling for hazardous material in transit is fundamental for the safety of our law enforcement, first responders, and traveling public,” said Rep. Hageman. “Explosives, flammable liquids, and toxic substances are all examples of items that require visible placards to immediately signify when hazardous material is present. Knowing the risks that lithium-ion batteries can pose, they should be no exception.”
In addition to introducing the Battery Safety Placarding Act, Rep. Hageman also sent a letter to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration requesting that they update the federal hazardous materials regulations administratively while Congress considers this new policy. Read the letter here.
Background:
Under existing hazardous materials regulations, lithium-ion batteries generally fall under the Class 9 miscellaneous category, which in most cases does not require external placarding for domestic transportation.
The Battery Safety Placarding Act requires the Secretary of Transportation to revise placard requirements for freight containers, unit load devices, transport vehicles, or rail cars moving lithium-ion batteries within two years of passage.
This bill requires hazard placards to be visible on all sides of freight containers, unit load devices, transport vehicles, or rail cars and be identifiable by first responders and law enforcement.
The Department of Transportation would be required to conduct periodic reviews to monitor the effectiveness of the placarding requirements.
Rep. Hageman Introduces Bill to Bring Transparency to Federal Settlement Payments
Position: Rep. Hageman introduced the CLEAR Act to increase public and congressional transparency over Judgment Fund payments and settlements, including monthly public reporting, searchable records, and GAO review of sue-and-settle practices.
Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the Clearer Liability Expenditure and Access to Reporting (CLEAR) Act to require greater transparency in federal agencies’ use of taxpayer dollars to pay final court judgments or compromise settlements arising from litigation against the government.
The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation of taxpayer dollars that covers these payments with minimal oversight from Congress, effectively constituting a blank check. While the Treasury Department provides some details online, concerns about public access and searchability of this information persist. That secrecy has allowed agencies to shield their actions in settling with certain favored groups, a tactic known as sue-and-settle,” whereby an outside group sues an agency and, instead of fighting the case, it uses taxpayers’ money to pay the group and its legal bills. The American people have a right to easily access the records showing exactly how their tax dollars are being spent.
"Taxpayers are on the hook when the federal government settles a lawsuit, but the information on where that money goes is difficult to track,” said Rep. Hageman. “The CLEAR Act shines a light on every payment, shows who collects the money, and gives Congress the information to detect sue-and-settle schemes."
Background:
The bill expands existing reporting requirements under the law by mandating the Treasury Department to post monthly totals of Judgment Fund payments, including how many were settlements, and lets the public search them by agency, plaintiff, and counsel.
It disaggregates monthly spending by payments, attorney fees, court costs, and interest.
It directs the Government Accountability Office to review compromise settlements and annually report to Congress on the use of sue-and-settle practices, including which agencies rely on it most.
An analysis of 113,969 Treasury Judgment Fund payments found the government paid $2.4 billion in fiscal year 2023, $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2024, and $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2025.
Agencies must repay the Fund for only two types of payments, so most agencies never pay for the liabilities they create.
Position: The release introduces a resolution designating September 13–19, 2026 as National Truck Driver Appreciation Week and expresses support for truck drivers, while referencing separate efforts to crack down on unsafe chameleon carriers and to bring new drivers into the industry.
Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced a resolution supporting the designation of the week of September 13 through September 19, 2026, as “National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.”
Truck drivers move nearly 70% of all freight in the United States, carrying everything from lumber to life-saving medication across the country's highways. Rep. Hageman’s resolution thanks the 3.6 million Americans who drive for hours on end to keep supply chains strong, enabling an unprecedented era of abundance.
“Americans everywhere have truckers to thank for the ability to buy the same goods almost anywhere,” said Rep. Hageman. “They haul our cattle, stock our stores, and serve the small towns that no other form of transportation can reach with year-round deliveries of the raw material of the 21st century. This resolution says thank you and builds on the work I am already doing in Congress to crack down on bad actors compromising opportunities for the American truck driver.”
“OOIDA is proud to represent nearly 150,000 small-business truckers across America who thanklessly serve as the backbone of this country’s supply chain every single day and night. Over 70% of freight in the United States moves exclusively by truck, the majority of which are mom-and-pop operations. We applaud the leadership of Representative Hageman for consistently demonstrating her appreciation for truckers by authoring bills to crack down on unsafe chameleon carriers and to safely bring new truckers into our industry. We believe every trucker in America deserves to have that kind of force behind them and we look forward to continuing to work with Representative Hageman and her like-minded colleagues who fight for truckers every day in Congress, not just this week,” stated Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association President Todd Spencer.
“Whenever we click ‘add to cart’ or pick up an item from the store shelf, our first impulse should be to feel gratitude for America’s 3.6 million truck drivers who perform the logistical feats necessary to get us the items we want on a daily basis,” said Greg Hodgen, Chairman of American Trucking Associations and CEO of Groendyke Transport, Inc. “National Truck Driver Appreciation Week provides all Americans with the opportunity to give truck drivers the recognition and gratitude they richly deserve. ATA commends Reps. Hageman, Taylor, Figures, and Gillen for leading Congress’ tribute to these hardworking men and women. Truck drivers’ extraordinary dedication, professionalism, attention to detail, and skill are the keys to keeping our roads safe and our country moving.”
“Truck drivers do far more than move freight. They keep Wyoming communities supplied, our energy and agricultural industries working, and our entire economy moving. Recognition will never fully repay the long days, time away from family, and tremendous responsibility these professionals carry, but it matters. On behalf of the Wyoming Trucking Association, I thank Congresswoman Hageman for making sure America’s truck drivers receive the respect and national recognition they have earned,” stated Kevin Hawley, President and CEO, Wyoming Trucking Association.
“National Truck Driver Appreciation Week provides an important opportunity to recognize the professional truck drivers who keep America’s economy and supply chain moving. Rep. Hageman’s resolution highlights the vital contributions of these men and women, as well as their unwavering commitment to safety, reliability, and service each day. NTTC thanks Rep. Hageman for her leadership and joins in honoring America’s truck drivers for their dedication and the essential role they play in our nation,” stated Ryan Streblow, CEO, National Tank Truck Carriers.
“Because of Congresswoman Harriet Hageman’s leadership, Wyoming has been a champion for restoring American safety standards on our roadways and for protecting the wages and jobs of law-abiding, safe American trucking companies and their truck drivers. She truly shows her appreciation each and every day,” stated Shannon Everett, Executive Director, American Truckers United.
“TCA applauds Congresswoman Harriet Hageman for introducing a resolution recognizing America's professional truck drivers during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. Professional truck drivers are essential to our nation's economy, safely delivering the goods that keep families, businesses, hospitals, and communities running. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to safety ensure the strength and resilience of America's supply chain. TCA proudly supports this resolution and thanks Congresswoman Hageman for highlighting the essential contributions of America's professional truck drivers,” stated Dave Heller, Senior Vice President of Safety and Government Affairs, Truckload Carriers Association.
Background:
This year marks the 38th annual National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
American truckers drive more than 330 billion miles each year, the equivalent of nearly 1,800 round trips to the sun, and more than 80 percent of U.S. communities, including the most remote towns and territories, rely exclusively on trucks to receive their goods.
Truck drivers kept store shelves stocked throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and are consistently among the first responders to deliver relief supplies after disasters strike.
Rep. Hageman has made trucking safety a cornerstone of her legislative agenda by introducing:
The STOP Improper Licensing Act to audit states issuing non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and unqualified drivers.
The SAFE Act to enhance detection capabilities to combat chameleon carriers.
The ROUTE Act to expand opportunities for younger CDL holders.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act requires that all testing to obtain a CDL be administered in English.
Connor’s Law to codify English language proficiency for CDL holders.
Rep. Hageman Introduces the STOP Improper Licensing Act to Keep Dangerous Unqualified Drivers Off American Highways
Position: The release supports federal audits of states that issue non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses, arguing that some states have issued such licenses to ineligible or unqualified drivers and that stricter oversight is needed to improve highway safety.
Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the Strengthening Transportation Oversight and Preventing (STOP) Improper Licensing Act to clear America’s highways of hazardous drivers. This bill requires federal safety regulators to audit states issuing non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and unqualified drivers. A dangerous driver anywhere is a threat to families everywhere.
Non-domiciled CDLs historically have been issued by states to individuals who are not permanent residents but maintain legal authorization to work in the country. Unfortunately, before the Trump Administration, several states failed to follow proper protocol, wrongfully issuing thousands of non-domiciled CDLs to ineligible foreign drivers lacking proper qualifications or training. California admitted to issuing roughly 17,000 non-domiciled CDLs illegally, while New York maintained a 53% error rate among sampled records. In Illinois, one in five failed to meet federal standards. These ineligible drivers caused 17 fatal crashes in 2025 alone, killing 30 people.
"Wyoming truckers earn every credential they carry. They train, test, and follow the law," said Rep. Hageman. "Other states hand out CDLs to illegal aliens, and families pay for that failure with their lives. My bill requires regulators to review the books and clean up America’s highways after years of unchecked immigration flooded the nation with thousands of unqualified drivers.”
“A CDL represents a promise that a professional truck driver is fully vetted, trained, and in full compliance with federal standards,” said American Trucking Associations SVP of Legislative Affairs Alex Rosen. “Rep. Hageman has been a relentless champion for restoring integrity to the CDL system, which gives everyone on the road confidence that only qualified drivers are operating behind the wheel. By requiring FMCSA to audit issuance procedures for non-domicile CDLs and identify areas where additional accountability is needed, her bill would build on this effort. ATA applauds Rep. Hageman's leadership and will continue to support her ongoing work to strengthen oversight, close loopholes, and ensure safety throughout the trucking industry."
“Rep. Hageman has shown a strong commitment to improving safety in trucking few other lawmakers can match. She has consistently championed sensible solutions to some of the biggest problems facing our industry. The STOP Improper Licensing Act, which will help identify and address compliance lapses in the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs, is the latest example of her extraordinary commitment to improving highway safety,” stated Todd Spencer, President, Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association.
“Wyoming’s highway safety depends not only on the integrity of our own CDL program, but also on every state whose drivers travel I-80 and operate on our roads. Congresswoman Hageman’s STOP Improper Licensing Act will help ensure every non-domiciled CDL is lawfully and properly issued while strengthening the oversight, transparency, and accountability essential to maintaining the integrity of commercial driver licensing across the country. The Wyoming Trucking Association is proud to support this commonsense legislation,” stated Kevin Hawley, President and CEO, Wyoming Trucking Association.
“Effective enforcement begins with accurate data. By requiring audits of non-domiciled commercial driver's license issuance procedures, the STOP Improper Licensing Act will help federal and state officials identify gaps in compliance, improve oversight, and ensure licensing standards are applied consistently. As the trucking industry continues to grow and evolve, access to reliable information is critical to maintaining a safe, lawful, and accountable commercial transportation system. We commend Congresswoman Harriet Hageman and her staff for their hard work and leadership in addressing these important enforcement issues and for advancing policies that strengthen transparency, accountability, and public safety throughout the commercial trucking industry,” stated TCA’s Senior Vice President of Safety and Government Affairs, David Heller.
Background:
The Trump administration tightened non-domiciled CDL eligibility rules in a regulation that took effect in March 2026. Now that the regulatory landscape has shifted with these new eligibility restrictions, this bill is necessary to ensure continued oversight and compliance.
The STOP Improper Licensing Act:
Requires FMCSA to review a random sample of non-domiciled CDLs in every state.
Targets non-domiciled CDLs issued without checking legal status and those that stayed active after that status expired.
Requires the findings to be published and reported to Congress.
Gives failing states 60 days to fix the problem, with repeat audits for the worst offenders.
Cuts off all FMCSA funding to any state that refuses to comply.
The STOP Improper Licensing Act is the 5th bill led by Rep. Hageman to clean up our roads and stand up for America’s truckers:
Connor’s Law codifies English language proficiency for CDL holders.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle English Proficiency Act requires that all testing to obtain a CDL be administered in English.
The SAFE Act enhances detection capabilities to combat chameleon carriers.
The ROUTE Act expands opportunities for qualified 18–20-year-old CDL holders to operate commercial vehicles on limited interstate routes.
Rep. Hageman Introduces Bill to Tax Colleges That Sideline Female Athletes for Men
Position: Introduces legislation imposing a federal excise tax equal to 10 percent of an institution's total intercollegiate athletics spending on colleges that permit male athletes to compete in women's sports, and directs the Secretary of Education to prevent schools from shifting the cost to tuition.
Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced legislation to hold accountable those private colleges and universities who continue to allow male athletes to compete in women’s intercollegiate sports with a new excise tax. Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC) joined as an original cosponsor.
This bill penalizes institutions of higher education who permit males to compete in female athletic programs or events with a tax equal to 10 percent of their total spending on all intercollegiate athletics that year.
“Every man who takes the field against a woman is stealing a roster spot, scholarship, and potential championship from a young woman who earned it. Universities know this. They do it anyway because they have surrendered to woke ideology instead of protecting their own female athletes,” said Rep. Hageman. “My bill makes them pay for their denial of biological reality out of their own budget. The erasure of women from sports must be stopped.”
“Women and girls should not lose opportunities, scholarships, or playing time because colleges choose to allow men to compete in women’s sports. We should do everything we can to hold institutions accountable when they ignore biological reality and put female athletes at a disadvantage or even at risk. I am proud to support legislation that protects women’s sports and ensures female athletes have a fair opportunity to compete,” stated Rep. Biggs.
“When institutions deny what everyone can plainly see, ordinary people pay the price. Representative Hageman's legislation is a measured response to exactly that failure. It doesn't ban anything or dictate university policy. It uses the most conservative of instruments, finances, to tell private institutions: you are free to make this choice, but you are not free to make it cost-free. Also, by directing the Secretary of Education to prevent schools from shifting the burden onto tuition, the bill ensures that students don't foot the bill for administrators' ideology," stated Nathan Winters, President and CEO of Wyoming Family Alliance.
"Only on a college campus could something as ridiculous as transgender ideology flourish. Radical gender ideology must be eliminated root and branch, and there’s no better place to start than our poisoned Ivies. College administrators can continue to play dumb when it comes to biological sex or protecting women on campus, but it is going to cost them. Thank you, Representative Hageman, for fighting to ensure that schools cannot profit at taxpayers’ expense for prioritizing ideology over education,” stated Terry Schilling, President of American Principles Project.
"Women and girls deserve a level playing field, and Family Policy Alliance is proud to stand behind Rep. Hageman's legislation to protect it. This bill holds institutions accountable when they let biological males compete in women's sports, while ensuring institutions can't shift the cost onto students.
This builds on years of work by our state family policy councils that have led the charge to protect girls' sports in 27 states and counting. We're proud to see that same fight carried forward in Congress, and we won't stop until every young woman has a fair chance to compete," stated Craig DeRoche, President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance.
Background:
Despite President Trump’s executive order and NCAA policy changes intended to keep male athletes out of women's college sports, individual cases of men competing on women's teams continue to surface across the country, underscoring the need for a financial deterrent with real consequences.
Rep. Hageman’s bill excludes state colleges and universities because the intergovernmental tax immunity doctrine limits the federal government’s constitutional authority to impose direct taxes on states and their instrumentalities.
The tax applies to spending across an institution’s entire intercollegiate athletic program, not just the sport in question.
This bill directs the Secretary of Education to write regulations enforcing the tuition and fee protection, so schools cannot shift the cost onto students.

Rep. Hageman Moves to Terminate California’s Hijacking of National Emissions Standards
Position: Rep. Hageman introduced a joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act to nullify the EPA's waiver allowing California to enforce its greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars, arguing the state's standards raise consumer costs and that federal policy should govern.
Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced a joint resolution pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the EPA’s California waiver to enforce strict greenhouse gas (GHG) standards on cars. The ability to enact state-based emissions standards is only afforded to California under federal law, and the state is abusing this authority in an attempt to force automakers to fit its emissions standards, which raises costs for consumers.
“The 119th Congress is reclaiming its Article I authority over the administrative state by using the Congressional Review Act to repeal bad regulations. In 2025, Congress moved swiftly to terminate three other California emissions waivers, and we have successfully thrown out nearly 30 regulations intended to destroy American energy production and force a green transition on the American people. Today’s legislation is another step to reclaiming our authority as the national policymaker, and to stop inflicting harm on the American people in the name of climate lunacy.”
The Clean Air Act preempts state governments from adopting their own pollutant emissions standards for new motor vehicles and engines. However, California can apply to the EPA for a waiver from this federal preemption. After denial by the Bush administration, one of the first actions of the Obama administration EPA was to grant California’s waiver that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from vehicles qualify as pollutants California may regulate. With this new GHG authority, California and the Obama administration created a national standard that aligned with radical California GHG emissions standards, which then resulted in the rolling out of several burdensome regulations on cars and trucks nationally. In June 2026, EPA Administrator Zeldin reported these waivers to Congress for review pursuant to the CRA, and Rep. Hageman’s legislation officially starts this push to end these harmful regulations once and for all.
Hageman Demands Answers from Meta Over Data Center Water Contamination
Position: Rep. Hageman is demanding answers from Meta about the discharge of a bacterium into Cheyenne's municipal reuse water system from its data center, and argues residents have a right to be informed promptly of contamination.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) is seeking answers on the contamination of Cheyenne’s water system by Meta’s data center.
In March, the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities revoked industrial discharge privileges for the data center’s contractor, Goat Systems, following the discovery of the bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii in the wastewater system. The discharge of this rare bacterium into water supplies has led to months of cleanup and taken Cheyenne’s reuse water system offline. Concerningly, Cheyenne residents were not made aware of the contamination until the end of June, nor was Meta identified as the polluter until July.
While local utility officials have stressed the bacteria presented no threat to residential drinking water, the contamination has raised serious concerns about data center construction throughout the region. Rep. Hageman sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg demanding answers around the discharge of Cupriavidus gilardii into Cheyenne’s municipal reuse water system by the tech giant’s $800 million data center.
“Wyoming residents have the right to be informed as soon as contaminations occur to make informed decisions surrounding their own health and safety. Water is a precious resource in our state, so it is of immense concern to learn the system marketed to reduce a data center’s water consumption caused this contamination,” said Rep. Harriet Hageman. “Residents deserve to know
their water remains safe as the tech industry attempts to expand the data center footprint in Wyoming.”

Rep. Hageman Marks One-Year Anniversary of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as America Turns 250
Position: The release describes the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as delivering tax cuts, energy and timber policy changes, estate tax protections for family farms and ranches, SNAP accountability measures, and rural health funding, and presents these outcomes as successes.
Washington, D.C. – July 4, 2026, marks America’s 250th anniversary of independence, and one year since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) worked to ensure Wyoming's priorities were reflected in the historic legislation, and one year later, Wyoming families, workers, and small businesses are seeing real results.
"One year ago, we delivered on the mandate the American people gave us in 2024 to cut taxes, unleash American energy, and restore accountability in Washington,” said Rep. Hageman. “Today, the results are undeniable. Wyoming taxpayers are seeing the largest average tax cut in the country, our energy and timber industries finally have avenues to re-develop, and our state is being rewarded for running our programs the right way instead of being punished for Washington's mistakes. Simply put, the Working Families Tax Cuts law is the One Big Beautiful Bill that represents promises made and promises kept."

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced a resolution calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to modernize America's television content ratings system, so parents have the information they need to make informed viewing decisions for their children.
Representatives John Rose (R-TN), Sheri Biggs (R-SC), and Barry Moore (R-AL) joined as original cosponsors of the resolution.
The resolution calls on the FCC to develop a ratings framework with neutral, objective, and specific content descriptions across all video platforms, promote greater transparency in how ratings are assigned and challenged, and ensure any ratings oversight body includes meaningful representation from parents and child advocacy organizations.
"Parents have the right to decide what their children watch, and the current ratings system is robbing them of that right,” said Rep. Hageman. “Streaming platforms are pushing ideology into children's programming, and Washington has looked the other way for too long. This resolution puts the FCC on notice that transparency is not optional."
"Wyoming Family Alliance strongly supports Rep. Hageman's resolution to increase transparency in streaming ratings. Parents must have the necessary tools to make informed decisions about the content their children consume,” stated Nathan Winters, President and CEO of Wyoming Family Alliance.
"For too long, ratings systems have failed to give parents accurate and consistent information about what their children are watching. This resolution is a long-overdue step toward the transparency families need to make informed decisions,” stated Craig DeRoche, President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance.
“Sneaky Hollywood executives violate the trust of parents every day. Families deserve transparent media ratings and clear warnings on shows targeting kids. Congressional Republicans and Commissioner Carr are fighting for commonsense reforms that finally give parents the tools they need to protect their children from inappropriate content and make informed viewing decisions. This is exactly why the FCC exists. APP is proud to stand with lawmakers to defend the family from obscene and inappropriate material,” stated Terry Schilling, American Principles Project President.
“Parents overwhelmingly want to be informed of sensitive content in children's TV shows. Our new poll found that 87% of parents want TV content ratings to advise them of violence, sexual content, or other sensitive themes like LGBTQ messaging or characters, in children’s TV programming. Parents should be able to make informed viewing decisions for their children, but currently, parents have no way of knowing whether LGBTQ+ content is in that program. It’s time to give parents that choice,” stated Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America.
This resolution received support from Concerned Women for America, Family Policy Alliance, Wyoming Family Alliance, American Principles Project, Moms for Liberty, Heritage Action, and Family Research Council.
Background:
Congress has long recognized that parents should have timely and meaningful information about video programming that may be unsuitable for children, and that ratings and parental-control tools should help families make informed viewing choices.
America's current television ratings framework was designed for a broadcast-era marketplace and now applies across broadcast, cable, streaming, and on-demand services without meaningful updates.
A Concerned Women for America analysis of 326 Netflix series rated for young audiences found that 33% contained LGBTQ+ characters, themes, storylines, or messaging across all age categories. Among G-rated and TV-Y7-rated series, that figure rose to 41%.
The existing ratings system does not flag this content for parents, leaving families without clear, consistent, or specific information about what their children are actually watching across today's fragmented media marketplace.
