Senator Lummis Receives Award for Pro-Taxpayer Voting Record

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis received an award Tuesday for her pro-taxpayer voting record. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Senator Lummis (R-WY) was recognized by the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) for having one of the strongest and most consistent fiscally responsible voting records in Congress. Lummis released a statement on receiving the award and said as Senate democrats continue their unchecked spending spree, it is more important than ever that the people of Wyoming have a fiscally conservative champion in their corner and she has long believed balancing the budget is the cornerstone of a strong economy. Lummis concluded by saying that she’s honored to have received an A rating from NTU for her support of fiscally responsible policies.

Lummis is one of only six senators to earn the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” for her voting record during 2022. NTU scored senators on 75 votes when creating the 2022 scorecard which is designed to calculate a senator’s voting record on fiscal responsibility by evaluating every vote that has an impact on tax, spending and regulatory policy. This year, Lummis scored 92 percent on the group’s rating scale.
