CASPER — An unprecedented amount of out-of-state money is pouring into Rep. Liz Cheney’s reelection effort, as she campaigns in one of the nation’s highest-profile congressional races.
The third quarter was the second-biggest fundraising period ever for Cheney, who is facing a tough reelection fight after her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump.
She raised just over $1.7 million during that period, which runs from July to September. These hefty donations came on the heels of Cheney’s all-time fundraising record, $1.9 million, which occurred one cycle earlier.
So far, only 6% of Cheney’s itemized individual donations have come from donors who listed Wyoming addresses, compared to almost 27% in her 2019- 2020 race, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

But clearly, THEIR representative represents interests OUTSIDE of Wyoming.
We'll see what happens
Second article from a Wyoming paper in a week pointing this out and that’s good. People from Wyoming need to know outsiders are trying to influence their election.
Can the people of Wyoming be bought this cheaply to buy crap?
Yep - hey Wyoming, just who do you think she’ll be thinking about when she makes her decisions? You, or the people who paid to get her there and can pay (or not) to keep her there (or not)? Just how “representative” of you and your values is she?
I guess all politics aren’t local after all...
Collecting campaign contributions from someone that can NOT legally cast a vote for you, should be considered BRIBERY and carry a LIFE Sentence for both parties.
Money isn’t everything. Work and voices are far more important. Hillary outspent Trump dramatically. Weapons builders will fight to keep their shill in office if they can. The people of Wyoming should not let their one vote in congress be sold to Raytheon or Lockheed. Republicans are not just military complex votes. Just remember that Liz has no problem with WOKE generals. As long as they have lots of bombs and ships nobody wants, she does not care if our military can fight.
I am sure that Schwartz AKA Soros will be there with Benjamins in hand.
They would make a great couple.
I hope that it garners as many votes as Jeb Bush in 2016. He outspent Trump 50 to one.
Virginia has a similar problem with McAwful and the justice socialists.
Bad money after worse.
Out-of-state votes boost Cheney campaign
All the MONEY in the world is NOT going to save Cheney's A$$!... she's DONE in Wyoming!
These seems like small amount of $$$. Less than 2 million?
Refer to SCOTUS Citizens United. One of their worst decisions ever.
