“Given her proximity to all things Washington D.C.-related, Liz Cheney possesses an especially uncommon insider’s perspective," said Whitworth President Scott McQuilkin. “Hers will be a very informative visit to Whitworth and to the Inland Northwest.”
Cheney served as the U.S. representative for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023. She chaired the House Republican Conference, the third highest position in the House Republican leadership, from 2019 to 2021 and served as the vice chair of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
During her time in Congress, she was also a member of the House Armed Services Committee, China Task Force, Natural Resources Committee and House Committee on Rules.
In 2022, Cheney received the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library’s prestigious Profile in Courage Award, with a commendation for her “consistent and courageous voice in defense of democracy.”
