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.!

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.

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.
