Wyoming GOP Congresswoman Retiring, Liz Cheney Considers Run
Source: ABC News
Wyoming Rep. Cynthia Lummis announced Thursday she will not seek re-election and former Vice President Dick Cheney's elder daughter, Liz Cheney, said she was seriously considering running for the seat.
Lummis is the only female member of the rebellious House Freedom Caucus and plans to finish her current term. She has easily won re-election since first winning Wyoming's lone spot in the U.S. House in 2008.
Cheney, a television news commentator, briefly challenged Wyoming U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi for last year's GOP nomination. She cited health issues in her family in bowing out of the race more than seven months before the primary.
Cheney and her family have been living in Jackson Hole, an expensive resort community in northwest Wyoming, since 2012.
