January 15, 2025

This week, Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) welcomed U.S. Senators John Curtis (R-UT) and Tim Sheehy (R-MT) to the Senate Western Caucus.

"I am thrilled to welcome Senator Curtis and Senator Sheehy to the Senate Western Caucus,"said Lummis. "As new Senators from Utah and Montana, Senators Curtis and Sheehy will contribute greatly to the caucus goals of promoting western values in Washington. I am eager to partner with them on repealing the disastrous Biden-Harris policies that have decimated the west and increasing the power of western voices in the Senate."

"No state embodies the spirit of the American west better than Montana, which is why I'm proud to join my colleagues in the Western Caucus who are fighting to protect our shared heritage and values," said Sheehy. "Together, we will stand up for farmers, ranchers, and hardworking families across the west who have been left behind by politicians and bureaucrats in D.C. and ensure our treaused way of life is protected."

"I'm so pleased to join the Senate Western Caucus and continue advocating for the values that define Utah- responsible land management, energy independence, and a commitment to preserving our natural resources for future generations," said Curtis. "The west faces unique challenges and opportunities, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure our communities thrive."

The Senate Western Caucus is composed of 29 Senators west of the Mississippi committed to upholding the fundamental western principles of self-reliance, local decision-making, love of the land and the pioneer spirit.
