Honoring Wyoming
Energy Workers




Every single day Wyoming energy
producers work long hours in tough conditions to keep the lights
on in our homes and our cars on the road.

Their hard work is often
unappreciated and demonized by costal elites that dream of
banning fossil fuels and making the Green New Deal a reality.

In Wyoming, we know and
appreciate the vital role these hardworking men and women play in
powering the simple luxuries of modern life that many people take
for granted. That is why I led a resolution with 11 of my
colleagues to designate October 4th, 2023, as National Energy
Appreciation Day to celebrate the miners, oil workers and others
who power our nation.

Highlighting the importance of
Wyoming energy has never been more critical. President Biden's
war on domestic energy has skyrocketed gas prices to nearly $4.00
a gallon in Wyoming, depleted America's Strategic Petroleum
Reserve to its lowest level in 40 years and forced our nation to
import oil from hostile foreign countries.

Wyoming accounts for nearly 10%
of all energy produced in our nation, and we have the resources
right here in the Cowboy State to return our country to energy
independence if President Biden took his boot off the energy
industry's neck.

Let's celebrate Wyoming energy
workers and recognize the vital role they play.


Happy Trails,









Senator Lummis' Week in Pictures






The Huntsman Cancer Institute
came to Washington and sat down with my team to discuss how we
can expand and improve cancer treatment in Wyoming and tackle
some of the unique challenges of rural medicine.











I joined the Heritage Foundation
and the Independent Women's Forum for a discussion about my
resolution to designate October 4th, 2023, as National Energy
Appreciation Day and how we can unleash Wyoming energy producers
and restore America's energy independence.


























WORKING
IN WASHINGTON



Legislative Actions:


I joined Senator
Rick Scott (R-FL) and 18 of my colleagues in sending a letter to
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanding that he present a
plan for how the Senate will take up and pass the 12
appropriations bills already approved by the Senate
Appropriations Committee in a manner that respects an open
amendment process and avoids a December omnibus spending package.


Congress
needs to stop governing by bloated omnibus deals that have put
our nation $33 trillion in debt and actually sit down and pass a
balanced budget.
Every single
household and business in Wyoming has to live within its means,
it is long past time for Congress to as well.














WORKING
IN WYOMING



Working for Wyoming:
President Biden's
open-border agenda has been a complete disaster. He has turned
over control of the southwest border to murderous drug cartels
and allowed 10,000 illegal immigrants to enter our country every
day.
Every three months,
the amount of illegal aliens entering our country is equal to the
entire population of the state of Wyoming. The 7.6 million
illegal immigrants that have illegally entered our country during
President Biden's presidency would form the 14th largest state in
the nation.
Enough is enough. I
am working in Washington to end this madness by finishing the
border wall and giving Border Patrol the resources it needs to
fight back against the cartels. There have been a lot of
conversations in Washington about defending Ukraine's borders,
but we cannot forget about our own.












GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WYOMING







The Department of Energy (DOE)
announced $27 million in grant funding for carbon capture
technology programs. While we know that Wyoming energy is the
cleanest energy in the world, carbon capture helps further reduce
carbon dioxide emissions.

DOE expects to make up to nine
awards for up to $3 million each with a minimum of a 20%
cost-sharing from the awardees. Eligible applicants include
individuals, institutions of higher education, for- and
non-profit organizations, state and local governments and Indian
tribes.

WYOMING SHOUT OUT






Worland native Jay Richard grows
large pumpkins, very large pumpkins. This year his biggest
pumpkin, Joanie, weighs in at 1,686 pounds and recently took
first place in a competition in Littleton, Colorado. Now Jay has
his sights set on winning the Wyoming state championship.

The championship measures the
heaviest pumpkins in the Cowboy State and even requires a
175-foot crane to hoist the giant pumpkins onto the scale. I wish
all the Wyoming pumpkin growers the best of luck at the weigh in!
