U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Chair of the Senate Western Caucus, has taken a stand against what she views as detrimental environmental policies imposed by the Biden administration. Lummis introduced five amendments to the appropriations bill aimed at prioritizing western states and scaling back the administration's Green New Deal initiatives.

In a statement, Senator Lummis criticized the current administration's approach, stating, "For far too long, the Biden administration has catered to climate extremists inside the D.C. beltway by passing radical environmental policies at the expense of the American west." She expressed concern over the impact of these policies on energy prices and the financial burden they impose on families already grappling with inflation.

Highlighting the need to address what she perceives as systemic failures, Lummis emphasized the importance of protecting the interests of families in Wyoming and across the western states. She asserted, "Families across Wyoming and the west should not be funding this administration’s unhinged environmental agenda and my amendments will roll back its harmful policies."

The amendments introduced by Senator Lummis are designed to safeguard the west and counter the environmental initiatives put forth by the current administration. By proposing these amendments, Lummis aims to alleviate the economic strain felt by families in the region and mitigate what she sees as excessive spending on environmental causes.

The amendments put forward by Senator Lummis reflect her commitment to championing the interests of western states and challenging what she perceives as detrimental policies imposed by the Biden administration.
