Liz Cheney won Wyoming’s GOP primary for the House of Representatives on Tuesday, all but assuring a win in November for the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Cheney, 50, won a nine-way primary in the at-large congressional district with about 40 percent of the vote. She’s expected to carry the heavily Republican statewide district in the November general election.

“No state has been hurt more by Barack Obama’s agenda over the past seven-and-a-half years than Wyoming,” said Cheney.

“Hillary Clinton represents a continuation of the same failed policies. Our freedom is under assault from an out-of-control federal government and our security is under threat from radical Islamic terrorism.”

The at-large district in Wyoming was once held by her father, Dick Cheney, for a decade, from 1979 to 1989.

The elder Cheney left the House of Representatives to become President George H.W. Bush’s secretary of defense. He was vice president for the younger Bush, President George W. Bush, from 2001 to 2009.

I'm honored by the trust Wyoming GOP voters placed in me to serve as our next congressman https://t.co/gHsVl7n0ljpic.twitter.com/VG81gSpgwj
