U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) announced her support for President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” highlighting its provisions that affect Wyoming residents. The legislation, which recently advanced in the Senate, addresses several issues important to Wyoming constituents.

Lummis said, “Every weekend in Wyoming, constituents come up to me to share their priorities for Washington. They’re clear about what they expect: no tax increases, a secure border, elimination of waste and fraud in programs like Medicaid and SNAP, an end to Biden’s green energy scams, and most importantly, restoring America’s fiscal strength. While this bill certainly isn’t perfect, it’s a major step in the right direction that further unlocks Wyoming energy and delivers significant wins for working families across Wyoming. Congratulations, President Trump, we are one step closer to passing these reforms into law.”

The bill includes measures aimed at strengthening security along the southern border and making tax cuts permanent for families in Wyoming. It also contains provisions intended to support the state’s energy sector.
