Lummis: Trump Executive Order is Huge Win for the West

January 23, 2025

Washington, D.C.- Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement celebrating President Trump's executive order revoking a Clinton administration directive that increased red tape and consumer prices by unlawfully inserting environmental justice standards in the federal decision-making process.

"President Trump continues to spend the first days of his presidency rolling back superfluous executive orders issued by previous administrations focused on pandering to climate change extremists with no regards for the policies' impact on western states," said Lummis. "This executive order is a huge win for the west, and I look forward to partnering with President Trump to continue removing obstacles that stand in the way of our energy dominance."

Last August, Senator Lummis introduced the REG Act to repeal this Clinton administration-era order.
