Wyoming state Rep. Chuck Gray announced he will be running against Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in the 2022 election, stating that better leaders are needed.

“It’s time for a leader who actually listens to the hard-working people of Wyoming, and not to the D.C elitists,” he wrote on Twitter. “Join me on my journey as I seek the Republican nomination for the United States Congress.”

His tweet comes with a campaign video claiming “Liz Cheney’s impeachment vote was a betrayal” and that “Liz has lost her way, acting as if she is from Washington, D.C., not Wyoming.”

“It is abundantly clear to those of us who actually live in Wyoming that Liz Cheney views her positions as nothing more than a stepping stone, and we’re just supposed to go along with it,” Gray said in a statement, The Epoch Times reported. “Well, not anymore."

Gray’s video campaign stresses that he stands by former President Trump.

“Wyoming agrees with President Trump … it is time to get rid of Liz Cheney. My proven record of leadership for the people of Wyoming is the polar opposite of hers, and it is why I am proud to announce my intent to seek the Republican Party’s nomination to serve the citizens of Wyoming in the United States House of Representatives.”
