Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming

We Are Powering Up Wyoming's
Energy Dominance

If the United States learned anything over the
last four years, it's that when we drive away American energy
production, prices go up, national security is compromised, and we
lose American jobs. The Cowboy State has always known a better
way.

Wyoming energy doesn't just power our homes--it fuels the
entire nation. We produce 15 times more energy than we use, supplying
electricity to American families, supporting next-generation data
centers, and laying the foundation for the energy future. Under
President Trump's direction, we are witnessing the great American
energy comeback, starting right here in Wyoming with the Ramaco Brook
Mine opening in Sheridan.

Tucked away off Interstate 90, the Ramaco
mine is the first new American rare earth mine in 70 years, and the
first new coal mine in Wyoming in 50 years. Attending this event was
not just monumental for American energy, it was a part of history. I
was proud to stand alongside Governor Gordon, Senator Barrasso, and
Representative Hageman as we joined Energy Secretary Chris Wright at
the groundbreaking ceremony.

Wyoming has always led the nation on
energy innovation, and the Cowboy State is more than capable of
leading this charge in powering up our mines. Reigniting domestic
energy production means lower prices for American families, stronger
job creation, and a more secure national power grid. President Trump
promised to unleash American energy, and Wyoming is ready and able to
lead the way.

I had
such a fabulous time celebrating the Fourth of July in Cody! The Cody
Independence Day parades are always a highlight of my summer, and it
fills me with joy to spend this time with so many patriotic people
from across the Cowboy State. Click here [link 1] to watch an
Independence Day recap.

It
was an honor to receive the Eagle Award from the Associated Builders
and Contractors. Thanks for coming by, and I am always proud to
support western friends in the construction industry!

I
had a great meeting with Jonathan Morrison, President Trump's nominee
for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. He has a
passion for American leadership on AVs, and I look forward to moving
forward with the Autonomous Vehicle Acceleration Act. This is the
first major AV legislation in eight years and keeps the United States
in the driver's seat of innovation.

Legislative Actions

I
joined Senator John Barrasso and Representative Hageman in introducing
the *Wyoming Education Trust Modernization Act*. This legislation
would amend Wyoming's State Act of Admission to provide the state's
permanent school land fund with enhanced investment flexibility,
potentially increasing annual returns for K-12 education. Wyoming's
school trust fund represents one of our state's most valuable assets
for supporting public education and the next generation of Cowboy
students. My legislation would allow Wyoming to modernize our
investment policies while maintaining the strong protections that have
served this fund for more than a century. I believe we can do better
for our kids by investing that money more strategically and increasing
Wyoming's returns. That result would mean millions of dollars more
every year for Wyoming classrooms, without raising taxes or touching
Wyoming's principal.

I also introduced comprehensive digital asset
tax legislation that secures key victories for the digital asset
industry and creates a level playing field for digital asset users
across the country. In order to maintain our competitive edge, we must
change our tax code to embrace our digital economy, not burden digital
asset users. This groundbreaking legislation is fully paid-for, cuts
through the bureaucratic red tape and establishes common-sense rules
that reflect how digital technologies function in the real world. We
cannot allow our archaic tax policies to stifle American innovation,
and my legislation ensures Americans can participate in the digital
economy without inadvertent tax violations.

The One Big Beautiful
Bill will raise wages in Wyoming by at least $3,400 over the next four
years, but the OBBB does much more than making tax cuts permanent.
Energy provisions open Wyoming up for business, freeing lands and
enhancing market access to unleash energy production. Tipped and
overtime workers saw instant relief as the "No Tax on Tips" provision
went into effect, giving the 27% of Wyoming workers who regularly work
overtime more take-home pay. The border wall will be funded to
completion, and thousands of more Customs and Border Patrol and ICE
personnel will be hired to continue securing our communities. We
rooted out billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid,
implementing commonsense work requirements while creating a $50
billion rural health transformation fund to support rural hospitals.
This legislation fulfills President Trump's promise to put America
First. While this bill certainly isn't perfect, it's a major step in
the right direction that further unlocks Wyoming energy and delivers
significant wins for working families across Wyoming. This legislation
will transform the lives of families, workers, and small businesses
throughout the Cowboy State, and sets our nation back on track for
greatness.

My Statement on NEA Shamefully Cutting Ties with the
ADL

I find it deeply troubling the National Education Association
(NEA) chose to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an
organization dedicated to fighting antisemitism, discrimination, and
hate crimes across America. At a time when we're witnessing alarming
rises in antisemitic incidents nationwide, our educational
institutions, should be strengthening--not weakening--their
partnerships with organizations committed to protecting Jewish
Americans and combating hatred. This is the slow evolution of
antisemitism, and this is how it grows. The NEA should be reminding
educators and students alike that Israel was the victim of an
unprovoked terrorist attack by Hamas, and that antisemitism has no
place in our educational system. Click here [link 2] for more

Wyoming Shoutout

Wheatland's Juan Reyes is the
living embodiment of the American dream and is a story of western
strength and spirit. Juan fled communist Cuba when he was just a boy,
escaping on a refugee flight bound for Florida. After time in a
refugee camp, he ended up in Washington state, and after visiting
Wyoming during his college years, Juan fell in love with the open
spaces and solitude that Wyoming offered. Years later, Juan and his
family are still in Wyoming running MR Angus Ranch in Wheatland, where
they produce purebred Angus bulls. Juan is now a newly inducted
Wyoming Ag Hall-of-Fame Rancher. Congratulations to Juan on your new
induction and being a living representation of not just the Wyoming
Dream, but the American dream.
