Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) welcomed U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer to Kemmerer, Wyoming, for a tour of the Kemmerer Coal Mine. The visit focused on Wyoming’s energy sector and local employment.

During the visit, Senator Lummis emphasized the importance of Wyoming’s coal industry and its workforce. “It’s always an honor to welcome Trump administration leaders to Wyoming to meet the hardworking men and women who make the Cowboy State our nation’s energy powerhouse,” said Lummis. “I’m especially grateful that Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer took time to visit Kemmerer, where she could see firsthand the skill and dedication of the coal miners who keep this historic operation running day-in and day-out. The Trump administration has consistently stood with Wyoming’s working families, and I will continue fighting to protect these jobs and ensure our skilled workforce can continue powering America with dependable baseload energy.”

A video featuring Senator Lummis and Secretary Chavez-DeRemer at the mine is available online.
