Information on candidates running for federal offices

US Senator

Running for United States Senator representing Wyoming is incumbent John Barrasso (R) and Scott D. Marrow (D). This is for one seat, a six year term.

The information included here is what Morrow presented during the Chamber of Commerce hosted candidate forum held in early October. Barrasso was not in attendance so a brief bio on him is included.

Scott D. Morrow:

Good evening everybody. Great crowd. I’ve been talking with Chuck here. He’s with the Republican Party. No?. Oh, that’s right, the Constitutional Party, and we’re getting along great. The point being that I get along with everybody, just about everybody. I don’t care who you love, what you look like or what party you’ve chosen to be in. I’m going to be fighting for every single person in Wyoming, except for maybe the really, really, really wealthy and affluent, because I think they’re doing just fine. But 37% of us are poor in this state, and it’s just about as bad in some of the other states. So we have a lot of work to do.

I am a single parent of five children. I was a union officer. President, director of investor relations with the ninth largest American postal workers union in the country. That’s where I learned how to get along with people. Has anybody here ever negotiated with postal management? If you can do that, trust me, you can work across the aisle. I’m president of the largest retiree chapter in this area and it’s important that we take care of our retirees and our senior citizens. They are one of the most vulnerable demographics in the country. To ignore them, and just let them on their way is wrong. We need to take care of people. We need to also give more attention to disabled folks. They are forgotten. Thank you.

John Barrasso:

Senator John Barrasso was sworn in to the United States Senate in 2007 having represented the people of Natrona County in the Wyoming State Senate from 2003-2007. In November 2018, Barrasso was reelected to the U.S. Senate. He serves on committees that directly impact Wyoming’s economy, energy interests, public lands, national parks and trade. In addition to other committee assignments, Barrasso is the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He lives in Casper. He and his late wife, Bobbi, have three children – Peter, Emma and Hadley.

US Representative

Running for United States Representative from Wyoming is incumbent Harriet Hageman (R) and challengers Kyle G. Cameron (D), Jeffrey Haggit (C) and Richard Brubaker (L). This is for one seat, a two year term.

Cameron was the only candidate to attend the Chamber sponsored candidate forum in October. A statement was read by Chuck Cooper on behalf of Haggit. A brief bio on Hageman and Brubaker is also included.

Kyle G. Cameron:

I come from a hardworking Wyoming family. And as someone growing up in a hard working Wyoming family I heard over and over again, ‘Go out and make a name for yourself. Go out and make a name for yourself’. And me being the rebellious youth that I was and that I am, I decided the thing I needed to do was go out and make up a name for myself. And that’s exactly what I did…The opportunity of being in a forum like this is part of our civic responsibility and civic duty and 100% I am going to participate in it…I am a Wyoming native. I was born in Cheyenne. My mother is a Wyoming native. She was born on a homestead outside of Dubois, Wyoming. My father was born in Oklahoma, and his mother and some of his siblings decided to move to Wyoming and make Wyoming their forever home.…I graduated from the University of Wyoming. I graduated from Casper College in the Distance Learning Pro program and was one of the first graduates of the program. And so I fundamentally understand what education looks like in frontier Wyoming. I have three children. My two daughters were also born in Cheyenne. They are also Wyoming graduates. I have one son who we love dearly. He was born and bred in Colorado and is fighting his own journey. Let me tell you why I am here today. I am doing this even though my nerves are shaking because I believe my freedom is at stake. I believe our liberty is at stake. I know that my Fourth Amendment right to be secure, my person is being stripped away from me bit by bit. I have a right to choose for myself what I want to do with my body, what I want to be, what I want to think about my spirituality and what I think about my soul. Vote for me and I want to spend it on freedom and liberty. Thank you.

Statement from Jeffrey Haggit:

Greetings. I was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, and here I am again in 2024. I have lived in southwest Wyoming since 1976 after graduating from high school. I graduated by Phi Theta Kappa from Western Wyoming College in 1978. I am the alumni of a Unita County Leadership Institute class of 2016. I have served in the United Way of southwest Wyoming Council and the current Constitution party chair of the Wyoming State Constitution. Thomas Jefferson said the policy of the American government is to lead its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their resolve. We have natural rights on the land, undeniable rights. These natural rights are guaranteed by our Constitution must be the standard with by which all legitimate governments are trained. We must then disassociate ourselves entirely from the United Nations, defund the World Health Organization and secure our nation’s borders, our personal medical freedom should have been enshrined in our government. …Private property rights must be protected. Assets should not be forwarded without a felony conviction as unconstitutional and should be abolished. If central bank digital currencies ever become law, financial autonomy will cease to exist for us all. Think social problem credit scores are being used in China. Freedom of speech and the Second Amendment are non negotiable. We never should let our government decide what is misinformation.

Harriet Hagemen:

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman represents the state of Wyoming in the U.S. House of Representatives. She grew up on a ranch, attended Casper College on a livestock judging scholarship and earned both her bachelor’s degree and law degree from the University of Wyoming. A litigator for 34 years, she is known for challenging federal overreach, for protecting water and property rights, for exposing federal land and wildlife mismanagement, and for fighting back against the unconstitutional and unlawful acts of unelected bureaucrats.

Richard Brubaker:

Richard Brubaker lives in Riverton, WY. He attended Central Wyoming College and the University of Wyoming. He is a truck driver. He was a candidate for US House of Representatives, Wyoming, District At-Large in 2014, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

Running for United States President is Donald J. Trump (R) with Vice President running mate JD Vance, Kamala Harris (D) with Vice President running mate Tim Waltz and Chase Oliver (L) with Vice President running mate Mike Ter Maat.
