Pro-Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis Decides Not To Run For Re-Election In 2026 After ‘Difficult, Exhausting Session’
Posted On December 22, 2025
Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), a vocal cryptocurrency and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) advocate, announced on Friday that she will not be seeking reelection next year.
‘A Sprinter In A Marathon’
In a statement released after the Senate adjourned for the holiday break, Lummis said, “Deciding not to run for reelection does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall, I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me.”
Lummis added that she felt like a “sprinter in a marathon” and that the energy required doesn’t match up.
The senior Republican said it was an “honor” to represent Wyoming in the upper chamber and also acknowledged the “support” of President Donald Trump throughout her tenure.
