Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming
*DOGE Will Liberate Wyoming
Households from Evasive Bureaucracy*
The national debt is sky-high,
grocery store prices continue to create an incredible financial
hardship for the people of the Cowboy State and the overreach of the
federal government is strangling households throughout Wyoming and the
nation. For far too long, the federal government has prioritized
short-term remedies without thinking of the burden they place on not
only taxpayers now, but for generations to come. Americans gave
President Trump a mandate to solve the failures of this country, and
he is already delivering on his promises to the American people,
starting with creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Elon and Vivek both have a
proven track record of success, but more importantly, they are
patriotic and incredibly committed to working with President Trump to
get our country back on the right track.
DOGE will work to identify
unnecessary spending, scale down the size of the federal government,
eliminate fraud and abuse within agencies and restore faith in the
competency of our nation. I am thrilled to join the legislative
counterpart to the department, the Delivering Outstanding Government
Efficiency Caucus, chaired by U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA). This
caucus will play an integral role in sniffing out government waste,
and I look forward to partnering with my colleagues and President
Trump to rein in Biden's Big Government.
Happy Trails,

Senator
Lummis' Week in Pictures
This week, I met with the future
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin. Lee is a
longtime colleague and friend, and I have no doubt he will revoke the
Biden-Harris administration's destructive energy and environmental
policies. Under his and President Trump's leadership, we will restore
Wyoming's dominance in coal and natural gas and revitalize American
energy!

Legislative
Actions
The Biden-Harris administration continues to cast a shadow
on the west by forcing ignorant and radical policies onto Wyoming's
ranchers, farmers and landowners, including in its latest sage-grouse
plan. This week, Congressman Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Chair of the
Congressional Western Caucus, and I sent a letter to Tracy
Stone-Manning, Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to
advocate for the preservation of our western way of life. The BLM's
final Greater Sage-Grouse Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA)
would severely restrict land use for those who live and work in the
affected areas, including in Wyoming. The Biden-Harris administration
repeatedly ignores experts in the Cowboy State, and instead chooses to
trust unelected D.C. bureaucrats with decisions that will have
catastrophic consequences on the west. Rep. Newhouse and I are calling
on the BLM to correct this egregious mistake before it is too late. To

The U.S. Department of the Interior is offering federal

$500 million qualify for this program. These initiatives are essential
for addressing water shortages by transforming unusable water sources
into reliable, drought-resistant supplies.
Funding under this program
supports activities across the four stages of large-scale water
recycling projects, including the planning, design and construction
stages. The final application deadline is April 7, 2025, at 4 p.m.

Shoutout
Congratulations to long-time Lander resident and former
Lander Journal publisher Bill Sniffin on receiving the General James
O. Amos Award from the National Newspaper Association. This award is
one of the highest and most dignified tributes in community
journalism, and is presented to a working or retired publisher who has

Bill, for your dedication to informing our communities and making
local voices heard!
