Cheney served as a U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2017-2023.

She was also a member of the House Armed Services Committee, China Task Force, Natural Resources Committee, and the House Committee on Rules.
In 2022, Cheney, along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, received the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library's Profile in Courage Award. Cheney also earned a commendation for her “consistent and courageous voice in defense of democracy.”
She and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, co-authored the book Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America. In December 2023 she will release, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning.
