Cynthia Lummis was sworn into the United States Senate on January 3, 2021, becoming the first woman to serve as United States Senator from the great State of Wyoming.
Born on a cattle ranch in Laramie County, Senator Lummis has spent her entire career fighting for Wyoming families, communities, businesses and values. From the halls of the Wyoming House to the halls of the U.S. House, her time in public service has always been focused on advocating for Wyoming’s future.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Wyoming produces 15 times more energy than its residents consume, making it the biggest net energy supplier in the United States. We are proud of the incredible energy resources we have, and how we are innovating through things like carbon capture to produce energy in the cleanest manner possible. In addition to our energy production capabilities, Wyoming’s rare earth and hard rock minerals present a huge opportunity for Wyoming and for manufacturing capabilities here in the United States. I am dedicated to ensuring that the federal government respects Wyoming’s industries and agriculture production, and am committed to fighting for Wyoming’s workers in these important sectors.
