December 19, 2024

Washington, D.C.—  Today, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement after meeting with President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth.

“For years, the Biden administration has made our nation look weak on the world stage, emboldening our enemies and pushing radical military policies,” said Lummis. “Pete Hegseth’s extensive service to our nation makes him uniquely qualified to serve as Defense Secretary, and I am confident he will revoke the woke policies that have infiltrated the military and restore our fighting forces. We need to build a U.S. military Americans can be proud of, and Pete Hegseth will be the one to do it.”
