Lummis, Cynthia M.

Cynthia Lummis is the junior United States Senator from Wyoming, having previously served as the state's at-large U.S. Representative from 2009 to 2017. An attorney by trade, she has a long history of public service in Wyoming, including over a decade in the state legislature and two terms as the Wyoming State Treasurer. She made history as the first woman to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate upon her election in 2020.

In the Senate, she holds several key committee assignments, including Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and Environment and Public Works.

Her legislative focus often centers on fiscal policy, energy independence, and the regulation of cryptocurrency, as seen in her sponsorship of the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act.

During her tenure in the House, she was a member of the Freedom Caucus and the Tea Party Caucus, and she became the first Wyoming representative to serve on the Agriculture Committee in seventy years. She has been a vocal advocate for Western land interests and served in leadership roles for the Congressional Western Caucus and the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues.
