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,

I 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 was so happy to welcome Cody High School students to Washington as they competed in the We the People national competition! These students are making Wyoming proud.

It was an honor to attend the Wyoming Congressional Awards alongside Mateo Magdaleno from the national board. I am always so proud of the service-minded youth making the Cowboy State a better place. Our future is looking bright with these leaders!

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.

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 21^st 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.

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!
