Lummis withdraws from the race, Hageman may take over Wyoming’s pro-crypto Senate seat

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman recently released a mysterious video titled “Soon,” sparking speculation that she may run for a Senate seat in 2026. Previously, incumbent Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she would not seek re-election. As a staunch supporter of the cryptocurrency industry, Lummis has promoted multiple blockchain legislations such as the “Responsible Financial Innovation Act,” and her departure will leave the crypto industry without a key ally.

Although Hageman has not yet made digital assets a core focus, she has gained support from Caitlin Long, a primary advocate for Wyoming’s blockchain laws. The 2026 election will test whether the state continues to maintain its position as a Senate cryptocurrency advocate.
