The Wyoming Legislature's Senate Floor Session on February 6, 2025, began with a moment of reflection and prayer led by the Most Reverend Stephen Bigler, Bishop of the Diocese of Cheyenne. The session opened on a somber note as the Bishop acknowledged the tragic passing of Elizabeth Martineau's father in a car accident earlier that day, urging attendees to keep her and her family in their thoughts.

Bishop Bigler's prayer emphasized the importance of wisdom, justice, and humility among public servants. He called on legislators to seek guidance and act with respect and prudence in their deliberations, highlighting the need for a collaborative spirit in governance. His message resonated with the assembly, reinforcing the values of compassion and community support that are vital in public service.

Following the prayer, Senator Schueller led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance, marking a transition from reflection to the legislative duties ahead. The Bishop was recognized for his presence, underscoring the significance of spiritual leadership in the legislative process.

This session not only addressed the immediate concerns of the community but also set a tone of unity and purpose among lawmakers, reminding them of their responsibility to serve the people of Wyoming with integrity and care. As the session progresses, the focus will remain on fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes the common good.
