GOP Sen. Lummis not seeking reelection after one term

Republican Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis announced that she is not seeking reelection in 2026 after her first time in the Senate.

“It’s an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority,” Lummis, who was first elected in 2020, said in a statement. 

“Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me,” Lummis also said. “I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn’t match up.”
