Cynthia Lummis - Senator for Wyoming

In Wyoming, Every Life
Matters

Life is God's greatest gift; whether you are a Wyoming
mother, father, grandparent, or sibling, the joys of life can be felt
all around us. My commitment to the unborn remains steadfast, and I am
proud to join Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and 25 of my Republican
colleagues in introducing a resolution to designate June as "Life
Month."

Three years ago, the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v.
Wade, restoring power to the states and affirming what so many of us
hold dear: every child, born or unborn, has inherent worth. For too
long, the tragedy of abortion was masked in euphemisms like "choice,"
concealing the pain, loss, and profound injustice done to the most
vulnerable among us. I will never back down from protecting innocent
babies, and Life Month stands as a reminder of our responsibilities to
defend the unborn. Every life is sacred, every child is a blessing,
and I will continue to fight to protect the dignity and sanctity of
every human life. Please join me in celebrating Life Month.

Happy
Trails,

I
met with Chaim Or, whose brother Avinatan was abducted by Hamas at the
Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023, and taken to Gaza as a
hostage. Chaim shared an update on the remaining 58 hostages and told
me his brother's touching story. Please join me in praying for the
quick and safe release of Avinatan Or and the remaining
hostages.

Members
of my staff attended the Wyoming Cattle Industry Convention hosted by
Wyoming Stock Growers Association. It is always wonderful connecting
with WSGA, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them to defend our
western way of life here in Washington.

I
loved meeting with students from Cokeville High School who came all
the way to Washington. Wyoming's future is looking bright!

It
was wonderful to see Meredith Halweg in Washington to talk all things
Wyoming beef and cattle. The Cowboy State is lucky to have her
representing the industry on a national level. Thanks for stopping
by!

It
is always such a joy running into folks from Wyoming who travel down
to Washington. I hope you enjoyed your tour!

I
spoke with the gold medalists from the Congressional Award program,
and was so impressed by the poise and professionalism the students
portrayed. Wyoming is the birthplace of the Congressional Awards, and
I am so proud of the young leaders throughout the Cowboy State who
have made their mark.

Great
meeting with Leilana Moncur, a 4-H Member from Afton, Wyoming and her
mother, Drianne. As a former 4H member, it is fabulous to see the
program still teaches the lessons and skills I learned when I was a
young girl. Thanks for traveling to D.C.!

Legislative Actions

I
joined Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO) in leading our colleagues to
introduce the bipartisan *Orbital Sustainability (ORBITS) Act *to
create a revolutionary program to reduce the amount of orbital debris
in space. People in Wyoming and across the country depend on
satellites for our national security, weather forecasting, wildfire
monitoring, GPS navigation, and communications essential for our way
of life. The ORBITS Act addresses this growing challenge and helps
maintain safe human spaceflight operations above the earth. This
bipartisan solution will protect America's interests in space for
generations to come.

I led my colleagues in introducing
first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) legislation to clarify
when professionals--such as physicians, attorneys, engineers, and
financial advisors--use AI systems in their practice, they retain the
legal duty to exercise due diligence, verify the system's outputs, and
stand behind the advice they deliver. The *Responsible Innovation and
Safe Expertise* *(RISE) Act of 2025 *creates predictable standards
that encourage safer AI development while preserving professional
autonomy. Wyoming values both innovation and accountability; this
legislation requires AI developers to publicly disclose model
specifications so professionals can make informed decisions about the
AI tools they choose to utilize. It also means licensed professionals
are ultimately responsible for the advice and decisions they make.
This is smart policy for the digital age that protects innovation,
demands transparency, and puts professionals and their clients
first.

The Trump administration committed to unleashing American
energy by directing the Department of Interior to make more than $119
million available in fiscal year 2025 to revitalize abandoned coal
mines. I am thrilled President Trump continues to deliver on his
promise to support Wyoming's energy communities and the hardworking
men and women who have powered America for generations. This
multi-million-dollar investment underscores the president's commitment
to promoting American energy dominance while responsibly reclaiming
and repurposing these lands for future economic opportunities. These
resources will transform former mining sites into new possibilities
for growth and development across Wyoming and the west.

Grant
Information

The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA)
announced approximately $1.45 billion in disaster recovery funding is
available to U.S. communities through the Disaster Supplemental Grant
program. This is for communities who received major disaster
declarations due to hurricanes, wildfires, severe storms, and
flooding, tornadoes, and other natural disaster occurring in calendar
years 2023 and 2024. Eligible applicants include economic development
organizations, state, local, and Tribal governments, economic
development districts, institutions of higher education,
public/private non-profits working with local government, and
public-private partnerships for infrastructure. There are three
funding pathways based on their recovery stage, capacity, and
long-term development vision. These paths are the Readiness Path
Implementation Path, and Industry Transformation Path. More
information on these pathways and this grant are available here. [link

Wyoming Shoutout

Superstar music teacher Mr. Weston
Lamb-Costantino from Rock Springs goes above and beyond in the
classroom, dressing up in costumes to get students excited to learn.
What started out as an "ABC" countdown to summer five years ago became
a tradition as Mr. Constantino's students look forward to seeing his
many costumes. Mr. Constantino has dressed up as the Monopoly Man, Mr.
America, and my personal favorite, Josh Allen. Hearing about the
excitement he brings to his student's learning is what teaching is all
about. Not only is he dressing up to teach his students, but he is
also doing fun concerts and exciting activities to encourage class
participation and engagement. We could not be more grateful for
teachers like him who make students throughout the Cowboy State
excited to come to class. What Mr. Constantino is doing exemplifies
Wyoming's commitment to education and just how great our school
systems and those who fill them are.
