CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Liz Cheney announced via Twitter on Thursday, Jan. 16 that she will not be running for Wyoming’s open United States Senate seat, choosing instead to for reelection to the House of Representatives.
“I believe that I can have the biggest impact for the people in Wyoming by remaining in leadership in the House of Representatives & working to take our GOP majority back,” Cheney said.
Cheney had previously sought election to the U.S. Senate representing Wyoming in 2014. However, she dropped out of the race on January 6, 2014, citing family health issues.
In the same tweet, Cheney cited the need to oppose Nancy Pelosi and the democrats for who she claims are a threat to our freedom and liberty. She also accused the House Democrats of “working to weaken our President and embolden our enemies.”
“Nancy Pelosi and the socialist Democrats in the House of Representatives are threatening our freedom and Wyoming values every day. They must be stopped,”Cheney said.
Cheney currently sits as the House Republican Chairwoman, which is the 3rd spot in GOP leadership in The House.
