Crypto Ally Cynthia Lummis to Retire From Senate -- WSJ

By Siobhan Hughes

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R., Wyo.), a prominent ally of the crypto industry, said she would retire at the end of her term in early 2027, citing job demands that mounted during the government-shutdown fight.

"Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me," Lummis, 71 years old, said in a statement. "But in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I've come to accept that I do not have six more years in me. I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn't match up."

Lummis, a former House lawmaker, was elected to the Senate in 2020. She serves on the Senate Banking Committee, where she has been an advocate for a light government touch toward the cryptocurrency market. She had been a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and has remained a fiscal conservative in the Senate, focused on cuts to federal spending.

She was one of the Republican senators whose phone records were obtained during special counsel Jack Smith's probe of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack by Trump supporters on the Capitol. The seat that she will vacate is safely Republican.

"Cynthia is a straight shooter and a trailblazer," said Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) in a statement. "We're going to miss her infectious energy and iconic laugh in the halls of the U.S. Senate."
