Outside State Money Floods Wyoming to Save Liz Cheney from Defeat Tuesday

Large amounts of outside state money is flowing into Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) coffers to save her from defeat on Tuesday against Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman.

While Hageman has out aised Cheney among Wyoming voters, nearly 400 Coloradans have donated about $363,000 to Cheney’s campaign through July 27, the Colorado Sun reported on Wednesday. Many of the donations have also come from the establishment uniparty:

    Billionaire Phil Anschutz
    Platte River Equity CEO J. Landis “Lanny” Martin
    FLS Connect partner Rich Beeson
    Aspen School district president Katie Frisch
    Boulder’s Christopher Wirth
    Brother of Elon Musk restaurateur Kimbal Musk
    Former owner of the Denver Nuggets Billionaire Donald Sturm
    El Pomar foundation chairman William Hybl
    Showtime producer and political commentator Mark McKinnon
    Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei
    Unite America PAC
    Ball Corp. PAC
    Western Energy Alliance PAC
    Holland & Hart PAC

Cheney has also been boosted by California money. The Los Angeles Times reported:

    More than 1,100 Californians contributed nearly a tenth of the $13 million Cheney raised through June 30 for her reelection campaign. In that period, she received donations from just over 200 Wyoming residents, totaling more than $260,000.

Cheney’s California donors include Hollywood elites, such as studio mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, producer Kevin Bright, and director Gary Ross.

In contrast, Hageman has done very well with Wyoming voters, who have donated more than $1.2 million — more than four times as much as Wyoming voters have donated to Cheney, FEC data shows. Overall, Cheney has outraised Hageman by nearly three to one.

Hageman, however, has a polling lead of about 30 points. She is also predicted to win by 97 cents on the dollar, compared to Cheney’s four cents.

Cheney’s faltering support in Wyoming is due to her alliance with Democrats on the partisan January 6 Committee. Fifty-four percent of voters were less likely to support Cheney’s reelection “because she’s part of the panel investigating the attack on the Capitol,” Casper Star-Tribune/Mason-Dixon found.

“The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat,” Brad Coker, managing director of the polling firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, stated about the polling. “That’s a foregone conclusion.”

Hageman has noted that Cheney’s alliance with Democrats on the January 6 Committee is contrary to Wyoming’s interests. “Liz Cheney has lost Wyoming. Liz Cheney doesn’t live in Wyoming. She doesn’t represent us,” Hageman told Breitbart News. “She doesn’t represent our values.”

It won't help Liz.

I hope they give Liz a half a billion dollars.  That will be $500 mil of Dem money shot to hell.

At this point there's little the money can do. Practically every form of media is saturated and filled. Decent times slots and space are bought out, and people have been yard signed, lit dropped, and mailed to death.

Might make a difference in a tie race, but not this one.

Money right down the ol poop chute.



It won't matter a lick.

Liz has burned the bridge down and then burned all the charcoal. What she has done is way past just money.
The Ghestapo raid yesterday sealed her fate.

More $$ to steal an election.

Let's hope all the gaps are sealed tight.

In a State that voted almost 70% for Trump, there is only so much money can buy.
She shat in her mess kit long ago.

  I wonder how much of that money is being paid to daddy for being a consultant?

[cato potatoe]

Any idea what she has planned for next year?  I would expect Biden to find her a place in the State Dept, or some cabinet post.

Well they have the same enemy so maybe the DOJ?

[verga]

In all seriousness, I hope someone whose opinion she respects has the guts to tell her that her 15 minutes are up, and she should sit down and shut up.

My question is "How much of her unused campaign funds does she get to keep if she loses?"

Is this the Big Dem Payola?

Does intentional combustion of currency count as global warming in their carbon footprint?

She can surely roll it into another campaign... If you know what I mean...

[Hoodat]

If she was a Democrat, all of it.  But I'm sure she's made enough Democrat friends over the past few months to show her how.
