Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman has once again found herself facing an angry crowd while attempting to defend a Trump administration policy.
The congresswoman tried to justify the governments planned repeal of the Environmental Protection Agencys landmark endangerment finding to a crowd of voters at a town hall event in the rural town of Pinedale, Wyoming.
The Endangerment Finding is a determination by the EPA that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere pose a threat to public health and welfare, requiring action to reduce emissions. It is based on extensive scientific evidence linking such gases to climate change.
The endangerment finding is absolutely based upon false science, Hageman claimed. Her comments were met with a chorus of boos and heckles, with locals shouting, No! and others chanting, Lie, lie! as she attempted to press on.

As a note - WY only has a single "at-Large" seat. This used to be the seat that Lynne Cheney held.

Political party strength
The last time a Democrat was elected senator over there was in 1970.
Republicans have had majorities in the state legislature nearly every session since 1939.
Only twice since 1944 did WY vote D for president (Truman and LBJ).
Since 1944, only one Democrat has been elected to the WY single US house district, Teno Roncalio for non consecutive terms in the '60s and 70s. (One of WYs reps, William Henry Harrison III, was a descendant of both Presidents Harrison.)
But for governor, Wyoming did have two Democrats in charge from 1975-95, then another from 2003-11, Dave Freudenthal, who like Gray Davis in my state of CA was an outlier in the Republican landslide year of 2002. Then in 2006, Wyoming had an odd bipartisan landslide we wont see for decades: Freudenthal won re election by 40 points, same margin as R senator Craig Thomas!

They've had enough of the legislature giving extractive industries carte blanche when it comes to the environment.
