Cynthia Marie Lummis Wiederspahn (/ˈlʌmɪs/ LUMM-iss; born September 10, 1954) is an American politician and attorney serving as the junior United States Senator from Wyoming. She is the first woman to represent Wyoming in the Senate.[1] A member of the Republican Party, she served as the U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2009 to 2017. Before joining Congress, she served as a State Representative (1979–83, 1985–93), State Senator (1993–95), and State Treasurer (1999–2007). She did not seek reelection to the House of Representatives in 2016,[2] and defeated Democratic nominee Merav Ben-David for the U.S. Senate in 2020.[3]
Early life and education
Lummis is one of four children born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Doran Lummis and the former Enid Bennett (1928–2013).[4] After high school, she enrolled in the University of Wyoming in Laramie, obtaining two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in animal science in 1976 and one in biology in 1978.[5] She received her Juris Doctor from the University of Wyoming in 1985 and clerked for the Wyoming Supreme Court.[5]
Early career
Lummis began her political career as the acting director of the Wyoming state lands and investment office.[6][7]
Wyoming state legislature
Lummis was a member of the Wyoming House of Representatives from 1979 to 1983 and from 1985 to 1993. She was a member of the Wyoming Senate from 1993 to 1995.
Governor's cabinet
From 1995 to 1997 she served as general counsel to Wyoming Governor Jim Geringer.[8]
U.S. House of Representatives
Lummis was one of three female U.S. Representatives who prefer the appellation "congressman" to "congressperson" or "congresswoman"; the others were the Tennessee Republicans Marsha Blackburn and Diane Black.[9]
Elections
- 2008
Lummis, who carried the support of anti-abortion and economically conservative voters, won the November 4 general election to succeed Barbara Cubin. In the August primary election, she defeated businessman and rancher Mark Gordon.
In the general election, Lummis faced Democratic nominee Gary Trauner, a Teton County School Board Trustee who ran against Cubin in 2006 and nearly won.[10] Trauner criticized Lummis for supporting privatization of Social Security and suggesting raising the retirement age for receiving such benefits; he called instead for considering imposing the FICA tax on income over $100,000, which is currently exempt.[11]
- 2010
Lummis was reelected with 71% of the vote against Democratic nominee David Wendt.[12]
- 2012
Lummis was reelected with 69% of the vote against Democratic nominee Chris Henrichsen.
- 2014
In October 2013, corrections officer Jason Adam Senteney announced that he would challenge Lummis in the 2014 Republican primary. Senteney opposed the 2013 government shutdown: "You should never shut down essential programs for people. ... Whether it's a negotiation tactic or not, you shouldn't punish the American people for your own failure to work together in Washington."[13]
Tenure
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/CynthiaLummis.jpg/200px-CynthiaLummis.jpg)
Lummis signed Americans for Tax Reform’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge.[14]
Timothy P. Carney of the Washington Examiner called Lummis one of Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake's "posse of anti-appropriators" on the Appropriations Committee.[15] According to Carney, Lummis "is the league leader in bucking the committee leadership".[15]
Legislation supported
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Cynthia_Lummis_2.jpg/220px-Cynthia_Lummis_2.jpg)
- Ranch A Consolidation and Management Improvement Act (H.R. 1684; 113th Congress) – a bill that would transfer 10 acres of federal lands to the state of Wyoming for use at the historic Ranch A.[16] Lummis introduced the bill.[17]
- Protecting States’ Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act (H.R. 2728; 113th Congress) – a bill that would require the federal government to defer to states about regulations governing hydraulic fracturing.[18] If a state has laws or regulations about hydraulic fracturing, they would supersede any federal regulations. Lummis supported this bill.[16]
- Restoring Healthy Forests for Healthy Communities Act (H.R. 1526) – a bill that would direct the United States Department of Agriculture to establish at least one Forest Reserve Revenue Area within each unit of the National Forest System designated for sustainable forest management for the production of national forest materials (the sale of trees, portions of trees, or forest products from System lands) and forest reserve revenues (to be derived from the sale of such materials in such an Area).[19] Lummis supported this bill.[16]
- Open Book on Equal Access to Justice Act (H.R. 2919; 113th Congress) – a bill that would require the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) to prepare a report each year on the amount of fees and other expenses federal courts awarded to nonfederal entities when they prevail in a case against the United States.[20] Lummis introduced this bill on August 1, 2013. She said, "requiring agencies to keep track of what they pay attorneys will help Congress determine if EAJA is working well or not."[21] According to Lummis, the EAJA was meant to the help the "little guy" but "was later co-opted by large environmental groups so their litigation shops could get reimbursed for filing expansive litigation on environmental issues."[22]

United States Senate
Elections
After she retired from Congress in 2016, it was speculated that Lummis was considering a run for governor of Wyoming in 2018.[25] In late 2017, she ruled that out, saying that she was enjoying her time outside of public life but would likely run for office again later.[26] The Trump administration actively considered her for Secretary of the Interior after Ryan Zinke resigned,[27] but David Bernhardt was eventually appointed to the position.[28] On May 4, 2019, U.S. Senator Mike Enzi announced his retirement, leading to speculation that Lummis might run for his seat in the 2020 election.[29] On July 11, 2019, she announced her candidacy.[30][31] She won the election.[32] In January 2021, Lummis joined a group of Republican senators led by Cruz and Josh Hawley, in an unsuccessful effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. She voted in support of the objection to Pennsylvania's electoral votes[33] and against the objection to Arizona's.[34] The Senate rejected both objections, 92-7 and 93-6 respectively.
Tenure
Lummis was sworn in as senator on January 3, 2021. She is the only member of Wyoming's congressional delegation who was born in Wyoming.
