Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) announced on Friday that she will not seek re-election in 2026, saying “the energy required doesn’t match up.”
“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 said in a statement posted to X.
“Deciding not to run for reelection 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 left in me,” she continued.

“I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon,” the Wyoming Republican added.
Thank you, Wyoming! Serving our state has been the honor of my life. –
