HONORING WYOMING &
OUR NATION'S VETERANS





As my staff and I participate in
Veteran's Day ceremonies across the state today, we pause,
reflect, and honor those who have served, and are currently
serving, in our nation's armed forces.

More than a century ago, on
November 11, 1918, World War I officially came to an end. Since
then, November 11th became a day to celebrate those who have
answered the call to serve and put their lives on the line to
protect the freedoms we hold dear.

Today, we thank all those who
have served around the world. From Europe to East Asia and the
Middle East, and even those serving here on U.S. soil, we thank
you for all you do to keep our country safe.

On this Veterans Day, we must
also remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, like
Wyoming's own Rylee McCollum, whose memory lives on and is an
eternal reminder that the freedoms we enjoy do come at a price.
Our prayers go out to the families and loved ones of fallen
service members who never made it home.

As parts of the world continue to
be tinderboxes waiting to explode, American soldiers, sailors,
airmen and marines continue to be the steady force that protect
the world, which is why it is important that we take this time to
remember the brave men and women of our armed forces and pray for
their safe return home when they are called into action.



Happy Trails,

Cynthia Lummis















WORKING IN WYOMING









MEDIA:



U.S. House Representative
Jason Smith (R-MO) and I wrote an op-ed about rising inflation.
Our of control Washington spending is a significant contributing
factor to inflation, and it is time to stop spending money we do
not have on things we can live without. We must use every tool at
our disposal and every opportunity that comes - including the
next time Congress is forced to confront the debt ceiling - to
combat the inflationary crisis. Click here to read the full
op-ed.

Wyoming voters approve
Amendment A, opening door to new revenue source for local
governments
Oil City News
During the 2022 General
Election, Wyoming voters were asked to consider an amendment to
the Wyoming Constitution that would remove restrictions
prohibiting local governments from investing in stocks and
equities.

With all 23 counties
reporting after midnight, roughly 57% of voters - 103,366 voters
- cast a vote in favor of Constitutional Amendment A during the
General Election, according to results from the Wyoming Secretary
of State's Office. The votes have yet to be officially certified.




Wyoming company uses
blockchain to create payment system for truckers
Wyoming Business Report
When Jacob Centner was
contacted though LinkedIn in early 2021 about a blockchain
startup that could potentially disrupt traditional shipping
accounting and payment systems for the trucking industry, he
didn't believe it.

Centner, who had recently
earned his master's degree in computer science from the
University of Wyoming, was skeptical of a message sent by Todd
Ziegler. A seasoned business founder, Ziegler had an idea
involving blockchain from his decade-long experience in
transportation management. He thought blockchain and the use of
digital tokens could save the shippers and truckers millions of
dollars in transaction fees and speed up the payment process.


















TWO FUN THINGS










The Wyoming Youth Pitch Challenge
is up and running all across the state. Through this program,
young folks in Wyoming can promote their ideas for goods and
services that will benefit their communities, the environment, or
Wyoming as a whole. In previous years, students have proposed
middle school mentoring programs, using sheep manure for
gardeners, and the sale of family farm produce to help the
Wyoming Hunger Initiative. This program was established to help
build up young entrepreneurs in the state by giving them the
platform and resources to make an impact in their communities.

If you or someone you know might
be interested in the Wyoming Youth Pitch Challenge, you can find
out more about deadlines, age groups, and submission details
using this link. I'm looking forward to seeing what wonderful
projects this year's participants come up with!












Amberley Snyder, the inspiration
for the Netflix movie "Walk. Ride. Rodeo" was in Wyoming this
week to share her story. Amberley was in a tragic car accident
just outside of Sinclair, WY on January 10th, 2010 that almost
took her life. At the time, she was 18-years-old, a straight-A
student, state FFA president and had just won the National Little
Britches Rodeo Association's All-Around Cowgirl Championship.
She'd brought home two saddles, 11 buckles and the title. Her car
accident left her paralyzed, but she was determined to ride
again. Remarkably, after only 4 months of rehabilitation, she was
back in the saddle.

Now, Amberley runs the Freedom
Foundation to provide young adults with special needs and
disabilities the tools they need to grow and become independent.
It's amazing to see such a powerful story of western grit and
determination come out of such a tragic situation.
