Forward of Wyoming’s major election on Tuesday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) launched her remaining marketing campaign advert video, which sounds extra like a concession speech. Cheney’s numbers have been trailing within the polls, seemingly a symptom of her unrelenting pursuit of former president Donald Trump within the January 6 hearings.
This content material may also be seen on the positioning it originates from.

The incumbent has been in workplace since 2016, and she or he has served as the only Home consultant from Wyoming. A ballot from Thursday exhibits Cheney with 28% assist from voters, whereas 57% assist rival Harriet Hageman.
Her remaining marketing campaign advert focuses on lies circulating for the reason that 2020 election and the significance of upholding American democracy, considerably harking back to her stance within the January 6 hearings. “America can’t stay free if we abandon the reality,” Cheney stated. “The lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious, it preys on those that love their nation, it’s a door Donald Trump opened to govern People to desert their rules, to sacrifice their freedom, to justify violence, to disregard the rulings of our courts and the rule of regulation.”
The New York Instances identified that Trump received 70% of the vote in Wyoming within the 2020 election. Regardless of this, Cheney has left no room for doubt in her condemnation of the previous president’s inaction through the Capitol assault within the January 6 investigation, and was one in every of solely 10 Home Republicans who voted to question Trump a second time. Consequently, Trump has made defeating Cheney a prime precedence for any and all politicians wanting his coveted alt-right endorsement.
“If the price of standing up for the Structure is dropping the Home seat, then that’s a value I’m keen to pay,” Cheney stated earlier this month.
It was a tragic day that many in Sheridan, Wyoming, won’t soon forget—and that certainly includes Caro Hamilton.
“It was very frightening and there were a lot of people that were affected,” Hamilton says.
On Feb. 13, 2024,Sheridan police officer Nevada Krinkee was shot and killed in the line of duty while serving a trespassing notice, a shocking crime that left Sheridan heartbroken.
The man who killed Krinkee, William Lowery, found his way to Hamilton’s home, where a 30-hour standoff ensued.
For Hamilton, the ordeal began with a phone call from her daughter.
“She said that there were police surrounding my house and that they told her to tell me not to come home and I went to ask her what was going on and the phone went dead,” she recalls.

She had no idea that a police officer had been shot nearby and no idea that the suspect was in her basement, but she knew one thing.
“We were freaking out. We knew that my mom was in the house.”
Her 80- year-old mother was upstairs in the house. Hamilton says it took two frantic calls to police before they finally called for her mother to come out—something that still frustrates her.
“And so finally we did get my mother out, but yes, we were very terrified because obviously this guy wasn’t in his right mind at the time after what had happened and we didn’t know what could happen to her,” Hamilton says.
By then, she was learning more about why police had surrounded the home and were keeping her, and everyone else, two blocks away.
She says didn’t know Lowery personally but says that he was an acquaintance of a man who was boarding in her basement and that the boarder was supposed to help Lowery move that day.
While her mother was out safely, she had other worries about other occupants inside.
“I was concerned about my dogs and really wanted to get them out of there,” she says.
Police used water, tear gas, and finally brought the standoff to an end when they used an excavator to tear down part of the house. Lowery was shot and killed by police after he fired at them while attempting to flee.
And while her home was left in ruins, there was one bright spot.
“The little dog was found under rubble where the living room used to be. And then my big dog, she was in the basement. They found her, she kind of wading in the water and it was kind of freezing around her. But they got him out and that was the best thing. So I was really super grateful for that,” she says.
Her cat, who was also in the house, has not been found.
Caro says she is thankful for the new house that been built in place of her old one thanks to insurance and a settlement with the city. She hopes to move in next month.

And while the tragic ordeal is something she and many others in Sheridan will probably never forget, she also says she will forever remember the support many in the community.
“It was overwhelming. It was amazing the amount of community support that was shown to me,” she says.
