Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming
Promises made, promises
kept.
President Trump spoke to all Americans when he promised the
golden age of America starts now.
For the past four years, people
throughout the Cowboy State have been bogged down by sky-high
inflation and Washington bureaucrats have tied up prosperity in the
west with burdensome red tape. Instead of directing their efforts
towards the safety and security of Americans, the previous
administration poured funds into woke diversity, equity, and inclusion
programs, while turning a blind eye to the millions of illegal
criminals flooding in at our southern border.
The president wasted no
time rolling back Green New Deal measures that pandered to the climate
change extremists. In his first few days, President Trump rescinded
environmental justice regulations that served no purpose other than to
hogtie the west, and he revoked senseless electric vehicle mandates
that catered to Hollywood liberals. In this Golden Age of America, we
will revitalize the west and breathe life back into the pioneer
spirit. President Trump promised to "drill, baby, drill," and with his
support, we will unleash American energy.
The Golden Age of America
began on January 20 when President Trump was sworn in as the 47th
President of the United States. The American people gave the president
a mandate to secure our southern border, fix our inflated economy, and
restore faith in American dominance. I am working around the clock to
deliver for the people of Wyoming and push the president's cabinet
nominees across the finish line. It's an exciting time in Washington,
and I am thrilled to bring victories home to the Cowboy State.
Happy
Trails,

The
Wyoming National Guard made the trek to D.C. to offer security and
protection to those attending President Trump's inauguration! Thank
you for braving the winter weather and keeping Washington
safe!

I
met with President Trump's Director of National Intelligence nominee,
Tulsi Gabbard, to discuss her plan to strengthen our national
security. I served with Lt. Col. Gabbard in the House of
Representatives, and I have no doubt she will play a pivotal role in
restoring American global dominance.

I
joined my friend and colleague Senator Tommy Tuberville on Newsmax to
discuss our *Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. *Biological
men competing in women's sports is not just a disgrace, it insults
women and girls across America. I am proud to stand up for the right
to fair play for all female athletes.

I
also met with Travis Hill to discuss comprehensive digital asset
legislation under the Trump administration. Ensuring a secure
financial future for my grandchildren is so important to me, and a
strategic bitcoin reserve is the only way I see forward.
Legislative
Actions
Under four years of the Biden administration's failed
leadership, our permitting process is woefully backlogged and
incredibly difficult to navigate. The federal permitting process takes
years, which discourages investment and innovation all together. I am
proud to have introduced the *Full Responsibility and Expedited
Enforcement (FREE) Act *to address the current federal permitting
system plagued with ambiguous, time-consuming, and costly policies.
I've proposed permit by rule as a more efficient alternative, allowing
for specific written standards and streamlined approval processes.
Implementing permit by rule processes will streamline approvals and
help us address backlogs.
Wyoming relies on America's truck drivers
to deliver goods to folks and small businesses throughout our rural
state. This week, I introduced the *Licensing Individual Commercial
Exam-takers Now Safely and Efficiently (LICENSE) Act*, which helps
ease supply chain challenges by increasing the number of truck drivers
in the U.S. Streamlining commercial driver's licensing and cutting
this burdensome red tape will ensure the people in the Cowboy State
can rely on deliveries, so they get the resources they need.
This
week, I helped to pass the *Laken Riley Act* through the Senate. The
House of Representatives also approved it, and it is on its way to the
president's desk. I spoke on the Senate floor to urge my colleagues
from across the aisle to support this lifesaving legislation. After
President Trump promised in his inaugural address to restore law and
order at our Southern border, it is appropriate that the *Laken Riley
Act *is the first bill he will sign into law. This legislation sadly
cannot bring Laken Riley back, but it will save other Americans and
their families from enduring this heartbreaking and preventable
tragedy. Click here [link 1] to view my remarks.
Wyoming has long
been a home for trailblazing women. Senator John Barrasso and I
introduced a resolution to honor the 100th anniversary of Wyoming's
Nellie Tayloe Ross becoming the first female governor elected in the
United States. Recognizing Governor Ross reminds us of the women who
paved the way for the opportunities we have today. As we celebrate her
legacy, we also recognize the lasting impact of her leadership on our
state and nation. A huge "thank you" goes out to the students at Green
River High, who shared their fabulous idea to make this
possible.
