Just Announced: An Evening With Liz Cheney

The former Wyoming congresswoman, who found herself in political exile for her role in investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, will spend an evening in conversation with Canon Historian Jon Meacham.

Tickets are now available for the public conversation on April 24; tickets start at $25.

Cheney will speak about standing on principle, democracy in a polarized age, the ties that (should) bind all Americans, and ways for our leaders to lower the temperature in a tumultuous election year.

Before she lost her race for re-election in 2022, Cheney helped lead the investigation into the Jan. 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol. The daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney had been seen as a rising star in her party — serving in the No. 3 spot in the House Republican leadership — before her criticism of the party leader killed her career.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius wrote this about her today:

Watching Cheney is a reminder that courage matters in politics. She described fellow Republicans who told her they wanted to vote for Trump’s impeachment but feared for themselves and their families. Cowardice is common in politics. Bravery is rare. Cheney sounds like someone who isn’t afraid of anything except failing to fulfill her duty to the Constitution.
