Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming
2025 will be a great year for
the Cowboy State
The past four years ushered in sky-high inflation,
record-breaking illegal immigration numbers and radical Green New Deal
policies impacting every corner of the Cowboy State. The people of
Wyoming have paid the price for democrats' senseless policies that
needlessly locked up our public lands and stunted economic growth. I
do not need to tell you that the impacts of the Biden administration
hit home every time you go to the grocery store or fill your gas tank.
If the last four years under the Biden-Harris administration's thumb
have taught us anything, it's that its Big Government policies do not
work for Wyoming, and they do not work for the American
people.
Fortunately, Biden's spending spree will come to a
screeching halt on January 20, 2025, when President Trump will
immediately get to work slashing Biden's bureaucratic red tape,
shoring up security measures at our southwest border and delivering
relief to the Cowboy State.
President Trump has tapped some of the
best and brightest men and women from outside the D.C. beltway to
address the Biden administration's self-inflicted crises and fight for
the west, including Interior Secretary Doug Burgam, who will put an
end to the weaponization of the *Endangered Species Act*, and EPA
Administrator Lee Zeldin who promised to unleash American energy
dominance. I have no doubt the next four years will not just reverse
the disastrous policies that have crippled Wyoming but also bring
relief and prosperity to our homes.
It is clear the American
people want change, and that starts right here in Washington in the
New Year under new leadership. President Trump and his team set out on
a course to build back a country the American people can be proud of,
and I am honored to do my part to help the people of Wyoming.
Happy
Trails,

Lummis' Week in Pictures
This week, I continued meeting with
President Trump's nominees. I spoke with Defense Secretary nominee
Pete Hegseth about restoring America's military back to greatness.
Pete Hegseth will revoke the woke policies that have infiltrated the
military and rebuild our fighting forces. I will vote to confirm
someone who will make us proud to be American, and Pete Hegseth will
be the one to do it.

I
also spoke with Riverton High School students about some of the
toughest issues facing the Cowboy State. These young adults are the
future of Wyoming, and I enjoyed answering their questions about our
government!

I met
with David Sacks, President Trump's appointee for Crypto Czar. I look
forward to working closely with him to pass comprehensive digital
asset legislation and my strategic bitcoin reserve.

I
had another great conversation with my friend and the future Commerce
Secretary! Howard Lutnick will revitalize our economy and get America
back on track. He's the right man for the job, and I know the Cowboy
State's economy will flourish under his leadership.

I
have no doubt Scott Turner will make housing obtainable and affordable
for the people of Wyoming, and I look forward to working with him to
reduce red tape and make housing more accessible.

I
closed out my week with a meeting with Kash Patel. We had a productive
conversation on how we can better reform the FBI to serve the American
people. The weaponization of the Department of Justice must be
stopped, and Kash Patel will be the one to do it.

Legislative
Actions
The west's ability to continue leading our nation in
cutting-edge water conservation and management hinges on preserving
proven policies that mitigate drought threats. My legislation to shore
up drought preparedness measures and address water scarcity in the
Cowboy State and the west passed the Senate. I headed to the Senate
floor to seek support for my bipartisan *Water Data Improvement Act
*and the *Drought Preparedness Act, *and the bills were passed by
unanimous consent! These bills ensure our state, local and Tribal
governments are adequately prepared to deal with droughts and shore up
our water infrastructure across Wyoming and western states. I am
thrilled to say they now head to the president's desk to be signed
into law.
America's icon is finally getting the recognition it
deserves. My bipartisan bill to officially designate the bald eagle as
the national bird is heading to the president's desk. The bald eagle
has proudly been depicted as the national symbol of the United States
since June 20, 1782, when our country's Founding Fathers at the Second
Continental Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States.
Since that time, the bald eagle has appeared on official documents,
currency, flags, public buildings, sports teams and other
government-related items. Today, the bald eagle is synonymous with
American life and this legislation will officially designate it as the
National Bird of the United States.
