U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis addressed the Wyoming House on Feb. 14, praising the administration’s early pace of nominations and executive action and identifying priorities she said would benefit Wyoming.
Senator Cynthia Lummis, introduced from the House floor, described a shift in Washington and called it “the beginning of this new golden age in America.” She said the Senate’s role is to confirm presidential nominees and that the chamber has been working long hours to process nominations. "It's such a privilege for me to come home and to get a chance to visit with you and to give you a sense of the beginning of this new golden age in America," Lummis said.
On federal policy, Lummis told members she expects actions and nominations that will affect natural‑resource management and energy policy for Wyoming: she said President Trump has moved to lift or change certain resource management plans and that a new Bureau of Land Management director, Kathleen Segama, had been selected and would be a "true friend of multiple use." She described committee work she chairs or serves on — environment and public works, commerce‑science‑transportation, and banking, housing and urban affairs — and identified priorities including surface transportation, power policy (with a view to revising the Clean Power Plan approach), and digital assets regulation (stablecoins). She noted Wyoming’s earlier work on digital asset law and said that experience informed congressional discussions.
Lummis also described plans to invite Cabinet and agency officials to Wyoming, including the transportation secretary and the EPA director, and said she had invited Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a planned health roundtable; she framed those visits as opportunities to put Wyoming concerns — frontier health care, permitting clarity, and road‑funding issues related to electric vehicles — at the center of national conversation.
The Senator concluded by praising the House members and their role in state governance; the House responded with thanks and a wish for a safe trip.
Discussion vs. decision: Lummis’s remarks were a policy address and outreach to state legislators; no formal House actions or votes resulted from the speech in the transcript.
