The 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect the U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district.

Republican primary

Background

Incumbent Liz Cheney was criticized by supporters of former president Donald Trump for her vote to impeach him, as well as refusing to object to the certification of the electoral college results in the 2020 presidential election.[1] Following her Impeachment vote, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz appeared at a rally at the Wyoming State Capitol in support of ousting Cheney with Donald Trump Jr. supporting it too by phone in January 2021.[2] For the same reason, the Wyoming Republican Party later voted to censure her and requested that she resign or be primaried in the next election.[3]

In February, members of the Freedom Caucus attempted to have Cheney removed from her position as Chair of the House Republican Conference in response to her impeachment vote. In a secret ballot, 61 members of the conference voted to remove, while 145 voted not to remove. Cheney retained her position in large part because of the support by these Republicans including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise.[4][5] Eventually, however, Cheney's continued criticism of Trump lost her support by more Republicans including McCarthy and Scalise, and McCarthy was caught on a hot mic saying "I've had it with her" in reference to Cheney. On May 12, Cheney was removed from her position as conference chair by a voice vote and replaced with Elise Stefanik.[5]

On May 21, challenger Anthony Bouchard admitted that he impregnated a 14-year-old girl when he was 18. Bouchard claimed he went public with the story because he had learned that the story was being investigated by others, though the Cheney campaign denied investigating it. He compared his relationship with the unnamed girl to "the Romeo and Juliet story." The two got married, but divorced three years later, and she committed suicide at age 20. Bouchard continued to raise their son after her death, though he says the two are now estranged.[6][7]
