Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

January 15, 2021 Via Email & U.S. Mail Hon. Cynthia Lummis United States Senate Suite SD-G12 Washington, DC 20510 Attn: Kristen P. Walker, [email protected] Re: Rejection of Pennsylvania Electoral College Vote Dear Senator Lummis: On January 3rd you made history as the first woman from Wyoming to be sworn into the United States Senate. Regrettably, on January 7th you made history again by becoming Wyoming’s first elected representative to reject the duly certified electoral college votes of another state. We understand that you were under pressure to do so by constituents and some Republican colleagues who, disappointed in the President’s loss, came to believe that the election results were unfair or fraudulent. That has been said in past elections and will undoubtedly be said again in the future. Nevertheless, we believe your vote, made over the strenuous objections of Republican Senate leadership, as well as the rest of Wyoming’s Congressional delegation, not only displayed a lack of judgement and awareness of the moment, but it also violated your sacred oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States—an oath you gave as a new Senator, and one that reaffirmed the oath you gave over 35 years ago when you were sworn in as a member of the Wyoming State Bar. While you have attempted to portray your actions as promoting “election integrity,” in fact, they encouraged just the opposite. We are sad and disappointed that, unlike some of your Republican colleagues, who sensibly abandoned their plans to reject electoral college votes following the siege of the Senate, you could not see the danger of your vote.

The Congressional Award Foundation Welcomes Senator Lummis to National Board
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Bethie Woodall May 19, 2021 [email protected] The Congressional Award Foundation Welcomes Senator Lummis to National Board Washington, DC (May 19, 2021) —U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has appointed Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) to the Congressional Award National Board of Directors. Established in 1979, The Congressional Award National Board of Directors is comprised of 24 members, with each of the four leaders of Congress appointing six Members. The Board oversees the Congressional Award program – Congress’ highest award for youth. “Senator Lummis brings years of experience in public service and a passion for youth development to the Board,” said Chairman of the Board Paxton Baker. “The Congressional Award looks forward to Senator Lummis’ involvement as a champion of the program and recognition of its deeply rooted history in Wyoming.” “Wyoming Senator Malcolm Wallop was a driving force behind the creation of the Congressional Award, and the students in my state of Wyoming have been proud and enthusiastic participants in the Congressional Award program since its founding over 40 years ago.” Senator Lummis said. “I’m honored to serve on the national Board of Directors, and to continue Senator Wallop’s great legacy.” Cynthia Lummis is the junior senator from Wyoming, and the first female Senator ever elected to represent the Equality State. She first served the state in the state House and Senate, as the state treasurer, and as the at-large member of the U.S. House of Representatives before being sworn into the U.S. Senate earlier this year.

February 24, 2021 The Honorable Thomas R. Carper The Honorable Shelley Moore Capito Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Environment and Public Works Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Carper and Ranking Member Capito: In anticipation of the Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing entitled “Build Back Better: Investing in Transportation while Addressing Climate Change, Improving Equity, and Fostering Economic Growth and Innovation,” the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) writes to express our strong belief that the integration of technology is key as we build for the future. Our nation is on the cusp of great opportunity in how we define our 21st-century transportation system, one that can provide greener communities, increased opportunity and equity, and safer streets for all Americans. Technologies including connected, automated, shared, on-demand, and electrified transportation and infrastructure will define the way people, goods, services, and information move, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, and ensure that the United States continues its leadership in the technology-driven global economy. Over the years since Congress passed the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, automated and connected vehicle technologies have advanced, the collection and use of big data have become an increasingly valuable tool for decision-makers, electrification of vehicles of every type from human scale to large scale continues, Mobility on Demand services are transforming how we get around, and technology is increasingly crucial to addressing inequities in access to transportation. To lead the 21st-century technology-driven global economy, Congress will need to invest in digital infrastructure and rebuild and modernize our existing physical infrastructure.
