Senator Cynthia Lummis, who represents Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of messages on social media from September 15 to September 17, 2025, highlighting the contributions of truck drivers in her state, legislative efforts on mine cleanup, and Constitution Day.
On September 15, Senator Lummis acknowledged the essential role of Wyoming’s trucking industry: “Wyoming’s truck drivers keep our state moving, traveling thousands of miles each day to ensure stores are stocked & communities are supported. The trucking industry employs more than 17,000 people across the Cowboy State, & we are grateful for their dedication to this vital work.”
The following day, she discussed bipartisan legislative efforts with Senator Mark Kelly: “Proud to join @SenMarkKelly to reintroduce the Legacy Mine Cleanup Act, formally establishing the Office of Mountains, Deserts & Plains. Under Trump One, this office was tasked with western-specific issues, including the coordination of cleaning abandoned hardrock mines.” The proposed legislation aims to address environmental challenges specific to western states by coordinating cleanup activities for abandoned hardrock mines.
On September 17—Constitution Day—Senator Lummis reflected on foundational American principles: “Our nation’s Founders built a republic on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, we commemorate the Constitution’s signing and the enduring freedoms it protects for every American.”
Senator Lummis has been an advocate for Wyoming industries and public lands during her tenure in Congress. The Legacy Mine Cleanup Act continues ongoing federal efforts to remediate abandoned mine sites in western states. Constitution Day is observed annually on September 17th to mark the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
