Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming

*Honoring Barbara Cubin's
Legacy in Wyoming*

Wyoming is home to women who broke barriers and
shattered glass ceilings, and Representative Barbara Cubin is no
exception. As the first Wyoming woman to win an election for a federal
office, Rep. Cubin served as a founding member of the Congressional
Western Caucus and represented the Cowboy State in the U.S. House for
more than a decade.

In 1998, legislation to establish the National
Historic Trails Interpretive Center was signed into law, which was
introduced by Rep. Cubin. This center was put into place to share
stories of westward migration. For decades, the trails center has
brought together Wyoming communities and tourists alike, educating
visitors on western native cultures and westward expansion through
interactive exhibits.

As a tribute to Rep. Cubin's service to
Wyoming, I led my colleagues Senator Barrasso and Representative
Hageman in introducing legislation to rename the National Historic
Trails Interpretive Center in Casper the "Barbara L. Cubin National
Historic Trails Interpretive Center." Rep. Cubin's contributions to
the Equality State go far beyond the trails center. She paved the way
for Wyoming women like me to be state and national leaders.

Happy
Trails,

Senator
Lummis' Week in Pictures

This week, I met with space engineer and
Cheyenne native Johnathon Watts. He presented me with the Wyoming flag
flown on the 2022 Artemis 1 space mission. As a teen, Johnathon
participated in SkillsUSA, which he says was his inspiration to pursue
an engineering career.

I joined Fox Business' 'Making Money' and CNBC's 'Squawk Box' to
discuss my solution to cut the national debt in half.

Legislative
Actions

Life is not fair, but sports should be. This season, the
Wyoming Cowgirls courageously decided to forfeit their games against
San Jose State University, a team that allowed a biological man to
compete against female athletes. I joined my Republican colleagues in
sending a letter to the Mountain West Commissioner demanding the
conference fix the inequities that women's sports teams across the
United States face. Title IX is supposed to recognize the distinct
biological differences between men and women and protect female
athletes from harm on the playing field. The Mountain West Conference
failed the Wyoming Cowgirls and the woke policies of athletic
organizations are failing women and girls across the nation. You can
read the letter here [link 1].

Grant Information

The Rebuilding
American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program

benefit aquatic species, or those investing in infrastructure on
tribal land with federal maintenance responsibility, qualify. Initial
applications are due on December 2, 2024. For more information, click

Wyoming Shoutout

Few people can say they have
given more to Wyoming and their country than Scotty Ratliff. Born and
raised in Pavillion, Scotty spent his childhood and teen years on his
family ranch before serving our nation in the Vietnam War. Overseas,
Scotty sustained a life-threatening injury that led him to be
medically discharged. Scotty came home to the Cowboy State as a fully
disabled veteran, where he made history by becoming the first native
state representative, serving Fremont County for 12 years. After
serving in the statehouse, Scotty joined former Senator Mike Enzi's
staff and then later joined my team as our tribal liaison.. He
recently retired after a lifetime of dedication to our state and
country, and on behalf of Wyoming, thank you, Scotty.
