Wyoming’s three Congressional Delegates all issued responses to President Trump’s State of the Union Address given Tuesday night. All three praised Trump and the direction of the country. Below are the complete statements from each.

U.S. Senator John Barrasso

“What a difference a year makes. The President was able to report tonight that America is back on track.

Republicans promised safety and prosperity for our nation, and we’ve delivered. The border is now secure. Gasoline prices are at a five-year low. Jobs are coming back to America. Wages are up. Things are more affordable.

This past weekend, I was on a Navy Destroyer within firing distance of Iran. This is nine time zones away from Wyoming. Two of the sailors on board were from Wyoming. One from Gillette, and his father works in a coal mine. The other from Wheatland. His father works at the power plant. Both of them said that President Trump and Republicans saved their fathers’ jobs. That’s what we’re doing for America.

And it’s going to get even better. Tax returns are going to be even higher for this year than they were last year as a result of the Working Families Tax Cuts law. That’s what it means to make America safer and more prosperous.”

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis

“Tonight made on thing clear: the State of the Union is strong. The border is secure, inflation is easing, and American energy dominance is back where it belongs. In just one year, President Trump has delivered real results. Everywhere I travel across our state, people tell me how good it is to have a President who is actually working to make  life more affordable for hardworking Americans. Unlike the last administration, President Trump has stood behind Wyoming’s coal industry, worked to streamline the burdensome environmental regulations that have killed countless projects and jobs, and kept his focus on delivering the affordable, reliable baseload energy that America families and businesses depend on. We’re not done yet, and no one sis claiming we are. But we’re headed in the right direction, and as we keep pushing an America First agenda, the State of the Union will only get stronger.

That’s what made having Troy Lake with me tonight so meaningful. His story captures the difference between this administration and the last better than anything else could. Troy spent his career keeping school buses, ambulances, and fire trucks on the road through Wyoming’s brutal winters-and the Biden Justice Department targeted him for it and sent him to prison. President Trump pardoned him, and it was absolutely the right thing to do. Putting an end to that kind of politically driven weaponization was an important step, and Troy’s presence here tonight was a reminder of just how far we’ve come. I’m excited to see the progress our country makes in the next year!”

U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman
