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.
When I think about agriculture, I think about our state’s culture. For the farmers, ranchers, and producers in Wyoming, agriculture isn’t just our livelihood – it’s our way of life. As a rancher myself, I know how important it is to have policies in place that balance conservation for tomorrow with best uses for today. We hold ourselves to the highest levels of excellence, and I am fighting to ensure that if we produce products that are good enough for Wyoming’s standards, then they are certainly good enough for the rest of the country. I want to ensure that meat and crops produced and inspected in Wyoming can be sold across the country so the rest of the United States can enjoy the superior products we grow in Wyoming.
