Liz Cheney represented Wyoming's At-Large congressional district from January 2017 to January 2023. She was House Republican Conference Chair (2019-2021) before being removed from leadership in May 2021 over her opposition to Trump's election-fraud claims. She served as Vice Chair of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (2021-2023). She lost her 2022 Republican primary to Harriet Hageman 66-29 after Trump endorsed Hageman and Cheney centered her campaign on her January 6 work.
Elizabeth Lynne Cheney kept about 57% of her major promises during her time in Congress. She kept 8 promises, including positions on policy and governance, but broke 2 significant ones and had 3 that were only partially fulfilled.
Her two broken promises were high-stakes: she promised to defeat Trump in 2024 and to win re-election in 2022. Both failed. She lost her Wyoming House seat in the 2022 primary, then did not succeed in her efforts against Trump in the 2024 election cycle.
We don't yet have detailed data on her top donors or how specific contributions aligned with her votes. That breakdown would show who funded her work and whether her voting record favored those funders.
