Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming
President Trump's Fitst 100
Days Have Been Nothing Short of Transformational.
In the first 100
days since returning to the White House, President Trump has enacted
transformative changes, from here in Washington to back home in
Wyoming. Under President Trump's leadership, we are seeing campaign
promises kept. Our government is making our communities safer, saving
our hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and once again working for the
people.
President Trump pledged to unleash American energy
dominance, and the approval of the Dry Creek Trona Mine marks a major
milestone in powering our nation. This project will create hundreds of
good-paying jobs right here in Wyoming and strengthen our domestic
supply chain to help lower costs. For years, the Biden administration
shuttered domestic energy production--raising prices, eliminating
jobs, and exposing America to energy insecurity. A strong America
begins with a strong power source, and President Trump is turning the
lights back on for American energy.
Southern border crossings hit a
record low in March, reaching 94% lower than daily border
apprehensions this time last year. By securing the border, President
Trump is halting the flow of fentanyl and stopping violent gang
members and criminals from entering our country. For the first time in
a long time, we have a president who is truly putting America
First.
From restoring protections for women's sports to eliminating
billions in waste, fraud, and abuse, President Trump's administration
is building a better future for our children. Senator John Barrasso
and I recently held a telephone town hall with Doug Collins, the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The Secretary highlighted key efforts
to improve care for Wyoming's veterans and strengthen VA services
across the Cowboy State. This remains the most transparent and
accessible administration in U.S. history, and I'm confident the next
100 days will be just as transformative for the people of
Wyoming.
Happy Trails,

had a great meeting with Jared Isaacman. He is dedicated to restoring
mission clarity and bold leadership to NASA, and I have no doubt he
will reignite American space exploration.*

I
had another wonderful morning at Wyoming Wednesday! Hearing stories
and sharing laughs with people throughout the Cowboy State is the best
part of my week.*
Legislative Actions
As the Senate Western
Caucus chair, I was proud to introduce the *Forest Protection and
Wildland Firefighter Safety Act of 2025, *a bipartisan and bicameral
bill to ensure Wyoming's firefighters have the resources they need
readily available to combat wildfires. Without timely access to fire
retardant, lives and homes are at risk. In an emergency, we cannot
afford to let bureaucracy slow down our response, and this legislation
ensures firefighters have the tools they need to protect lives,
property, and public lands.
I joined Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
(D-NY), Representative Lisa McClain (R-MI), and Representative Robert
Garcia (D-CA) in introducing the *Common Cents Act*, bipartisan
legislation, backed by President Trump, to suspend production of the
penny and save American taxpayers money. The fiscal reality is
undeniable: the U.S. Mint spends three cents to produce each one-cent
coin. With a $36 trillion national debt, we have to implement
meaningful opportunities to reduce costs, update our currency system,
and codify the elimination of government inefficiencies. In 2017,
Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi introduced the similar COINS Act to suspend
minting of the penny to invest in a future that works for the 21st
century economy. It just makes cents!
The Trump administration's
approval of the Dry Creek Trona Mine in Sweetwater County is welcome
news and demonstrates yet again President Trump's commitment to
delivering for the people of Wyoming. This vital development will
create hundreds of good-paying jobs for hardworking Wyoming families
while strengthening our domestic supply chain for essential minerals
that keep costs lower at the store for everyday Americans. This
development is expected to create approximately 2,000 construction
positions initially, followed by 300 permanent jobs that will sustain
local families throughout the mine's operational lifespan. Wyoming's
rich natural resources continue to provide both traditional and
forward-looking opportunities for our communities. By supporting
responsible resource development right here at home instead of relying
on foreign countries, President Trump and Secretary Burgum are putting
America First and ensuring Wyoming continues to lead the way in
powering our nation's economic prosperity.
Casework Win
After
the passing of a loved one, a Wyoming constituent turned to my office
for help recovering a family member's tax return. Despite being
tangled in red tape and setbacks--including a corrected mailing
address, a CPA's overpayment, and additional documentation requests
from the IRS, my team remained committed to supporting the family
during this difficult time. Thanks to ongoing communication and
persistence, the IRS finally issued the $12,300 overpayment, and with
it, the family could close the estate and take a meaningful step
forward.
Wyoming Shoutout
A big Wyoming shoutout to Green
River High School Junior Isa Vasco! She captained the U.S. U17 ODP
National Team to victory in Italy. She was also named Best Attacker
and Most Exciting Player of the Torneo for her incredible grit and
determination. Isa is just one of the few players in Wyoming to play
for the U.S. Youth Soccer National Team. Congratulations,
Isa!
