Sen. John Barrasso and Rep. Harriet Hageman coasted to reelection Tuesday, with the Associated Press calling the races for both Republicans. Barrasso, a Casper physician who’s represented the state in the U.S. Senate since 2007, defeated Democrat Scott D. Morrow of Laramie. “Wyoming voters have spoken loudly: crush inflation, cut spending, close the borders and leash American energy dominance again,” Barrasso said in a statement. “This is what we have set out to do. I’m optimistic that our efforts will get America back on track.” Hageman, a Cheyenne attorney, who first won office in 2021 when she defeated then-Rep. Liz Cheney, easily fought off challenges from Democrat Kyle G. Cameron, Libertarian Richard Brubaker and Constitution Party Jeffrey Haggit.  “I am humbled by and grateful for the support of the people Wyoming to continue as their lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and I reiterate my solemn pledge to always represent the views and best interests of the people of our great state in Washington, D.C.,” Hageman said in a tweet. Both results were expected. Wyoming remains one of the nation’s reddest states, and a Democrat has not represented Wyoming in Congress since the 1970s. A survey released last week by the University of Wyoming found that 51.5% of the state’s residents approved of the job Hageman is doing in Congress, with 30.8% disapproving and 17.7% without a strong opinion either way. Barrasso’s approval rating in that same survey was 44.3%, with 31.7% disapproving and 24.1% without a strong opinion either way.
