Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming
Wyoming is ready to unleash
American energy.
Wyoming energy powers our lives. As the nation's
leading coal producer, thousands of Wyoming coal workers fuel American
energy. Despite challenges from Green New Deal policies, Wyoming's
energy industry remains strong and ready to power America's
future.
President Trump's executive order reinvigorates America's
clean coal industry, starting here in Wyoming. This order eliminates
barriers to coal leasing and production, establishes coal as a key
energy source, and supports technological advancements in the
industry, creating more jobs in the Powder River Basin. No one does
energy like Wyoming, and our coal is cleaner, better, and more
reliable than anywhere else.
Unleashing American coal production
ensures our energy independence and enhances our capacity to innovate.
Our country's energy needs extend beyond powering homes--we need
robust infrastructure to make America a leader in artificial
intelligence and strengthen our military defenses. Energy security
*is* national security, and President Trump recognizes the importance
of diverse energy sources in powering America's future.
President
Biden ignored our country's needs by pandering to environmental
justice warriors, and for four years, we outsourced jobs and energy at
the cost of American consumers. It was nonsensical to push radical EV
mandates while simultaneously denying the largest source of energy for
electricity: thermal coal. It's anti-science, and anti-American.
President Trump is lowering energy costs across the board, from gas
prices to electric bills to grocery costs, providing real savings for
everyday Americans. President Trump made a promise to unleash American
energy, and this executive order is another promise kept.

Lummis' Week in Pictures

Another
great few weeks of Wyoming Wednesdays. It is always such a joy meeting
with friends and families from the Cowboy State who make the journey
out to Washington.

It
was wonderful talking to Charene from Cowboy State Daily. Seems like
my 4th of July is already booked and busy with Wyoming celebrations!
We also discussed slightly less exciting, but extremely important,
legislation preventing unconstitutional judicial overreach.

I
had the pleasure of meeting with Sheridan High School students before
the We the People national competition. My own daughter was part of
this program, so I know firsthand just how dedicated and sharp these
young leaders are. They are making Wyoming proud!

I
always know how to spot a good cowboy hat. LOVED running into a group
of UW students on the steps of the Capitol.

I
had the honor of speaking at Senator Al Simpson's celebration of life
at the University of Wyoming. Al was bigger than life itself, and his
love for Wyoming is evident in the impact he made on our state and its
people.
Legislative Actions
I partnered with Senate Judiciary
Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) in introducing the Judicial
Relief Clarification Act of 2025 (JRCA). This bill would limit federal
court orders to parties directly before the court - ending the
practice of universal injunctions and clarifying the role of the
judicial branch to decide the law in a non-partisan way. Under this
legislation, parties seeking nationwide relief would be required to
file a class action lawsuit. Judges are not policymakers - and they
have not been elected by the American people to legislate. Our courts
should not be a tool for far-left activists to obstruct every part of
President Trump's agenda. I'm pleased to introduce legislation with
many of my Republican colleagues to defend our Constitution and end
judicial overreach.
Wyoming's own Brian Nesvik made it out of the
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) to serve as
Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Brian
will do an amazing job leading the USFWS and has an impressive track
record in Wyoming, working with federal, state, and local partners to
achieve goals in a collaborative fashion. He will next be considered
by the full Senate for a confirmation vote.
This week, my Senate
Republican colleagues and I used the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to
counter California's Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates. Far-left
legislators in California should not be able to override consumer
freedom and dictate emissions policies for the entire nation. In
Wyoming, we know these EV mandates are not only costly, but also
unrealistic. We must ensure that the U.S. Congress is setting our EV
and emissions policies, not the California legislature.
Wyoming Shoutout
Congratulations to Ryan Cox of Riverton High
School on being selected for the prestigious Homer Scott "Outstanding
Citizen Award" at this year's Shrine Bowl. Ryan's leadership on the
field and commitment to service off the field represent the very best
of the Cowboy State. It makes me so proud to see young athletes like
Ryan--and fellow winners from Rock Springs, Big Horn, Southeast, and
Little Snake River--carrying on the legacy of character, community,
and competition. Keep making Wyoming proud!
