Harriet Hageman

Trevor Neilson is a supporter of Project Winchester, an anonymous group he said exists to keep U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) from selling or giving away federal public land if she’s elected governor. Hageman hasn’t announced a run.

It’s the latest development in the ongoing battle over the future of grizzly bear protections in the lower 48.

A map created by a national environmental group shows 2 to 3 million acres of federal public land that could be sold, including in Teton County.

A recent study by OpenSecrets found that in states with smaller populations like Wyoming, political funds flow from the outside in. It’s been getting more pronounced.

This comes a month after Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) announced she was going to hold only virtual town halls. At the time, Hageman said her decision came from incidents at public town halls in Laramie and Wheatland.

Wyoming’s U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman is changing her town halls from in-person to virtual. Hageman said her decision comes from recent incidents at public events, credible threats to herself and national outbursts of politically motivated violence.

In Laramie Hageman faced intense backlash for the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE, towns like Wheatland stood behind Hageman.

The event in Lincoln County grew tense as Wyomingites reacted to their lone House members’ support of rural postal service, delisting the grizzly bear and the Department of Government Efficiency.

The centers in Cheyenne and Casper were initially set to be downgraded under the agency’s “Delivering for America” agenda, with mail instead being processed in Denver and Billings.

A recent analysis from the Postal Regulatory Commission found closing Wyoming’s two centers could significantly delay mail delivery.
