A Conversation with Liz Cheney
Retired Faculty Association
A Conversation with Liz Cheney - Professor of Practice at UVA Center for Politics
You don’t have to be a student of government/law/politics to recognize her name or the impact she is having – on national and international discussions of the future of democracy – here and around the world. She served in the House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023 representing the ENTIRE state of Wyoming.
While in the House, she chaired the House Republican Conference – the third-highest position in the House Republican leadership, from 2019 to 2021. She became a household name to millions for her service –as the Vice Chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection. She stood strong in the face of unprecedented attacks to do what she felt was right for the future of this country. And that’s why she’s here, as a profile in courage and to pass on these important lessons in leadership.
