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.
The first responsibility of the U.S. government is to keep our country and citizens safe. I am grateful for the incredible work that the men and women who serve our nation in uniform do at F.E. Warren Air Force Base each and every day. I am a staunch supporter of our nuclear triad, and proud of the role that the F.E. Warren Air Force Base plays in our national defense. The transformation that has occurred at the Veterans Affairs Department in recent years has been essential to improving the quality and timeliness of services and I pledge to hold the department accountable for their actions taking care of the men and women who have given so much to keep us safe.
