Liz Cheney, the elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is running for Wyoming's U.S. House seat, The Associated Press reported Saturday based on federal election documents.

Cheney, who is expected to announce her campaign Monday, would vie against eight other Republicans to replace Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R), who is set to retire once her term is up. In 2013, Cheney unsuccessfully ran for Senate.
