Later the same day, she posted another message stating: “Oops— I knew I left something! https://t.co/ClGV43T8aO”.
On May 15, 2026, Lummis addressed nuclear regulation reform in a tweet: “Outdated nuclear regs are driving up costs & shutting out local workers — for no safety reason. My new bill with @SenMarkKelly & @RepDonaldsPress fixes that by allowing commercial-grade materials where safe. The result: savings, jobs & a stronger grid. https://t.co/blUKSAlUoq”.
Lummis has a background rooted in agriculture and public service. She grew up on a cattle ranch in Laramie County and operated family ranches with her siblings (official website). Her education includes degrees in animal science, biology and law from the University of Wyoming (official website). Over her career, she has championed responsible federal budgeting and advocated for multiple-use public lands as well as Wyoming’s energy resources (official website). Lummis has served in various capacities within state government—including the Wyoming House and Senate—and at the federal level as state treasurer and U.S. Representative (official website).
Her recent legislative initiative aims to address what she describes as outdated nuclear regulations that increase costs without enhancing safety standards. The bill proposes allowing commercial-grade materials where deemed safe to promote cost savings, job creation and improvements to the electrical grid.
