Cheney to run for House seat

130718_liz_cheney_ap_328Dick Cheney is not a name that needs any introduction in the paradigm of the US government; the former Vice President’s elder daughter has now stood up tall and is set to announce that she is going to run for Congress. She made a failed attempt 2 years ago when her Senate campaign ended up being a total disaster. She has been a full time resident of the state for not so long and this can end up being another mountain to climb for her.

Liz Cheney to run for Congress:

The only seat up for grabs in Wyoming has already attracted many potential suitors’ attentions and Liz filed the documents this past Friday indicating that she is going to join the race.

It’s expected that she is set to announce within a few days and the 1st of February is a date indicated by some of her campaign officials as the time when she will formally make the declaration. Gillette is the town in the state that has faced many downturns in the coal industry recently and it’s apparent that she will build her case around the fears that the Government is preparing a war on coal with the regulations regarding the climate change getting expanded with every passing day.

The fellow competitors/candidates have some shown great excitement as well and Tim Stubson who is also a state representative said that he wasn’t surprised to hear the news. He said that he is aware of the backing she has and her addition can possibly lead to an interesting turn of events in the race.

As already mentioned, Liz, 49 led a really tragic Senate campaign in 2013 when she tried to unseat Mike Enzi who is a fellow republican. At that time, she failed to get any major traction. This time, the results can differ.
