Republican Sen Cynthia Lummis will not seek re-election in 2026, citing the 'energy required'
Wyoming senator announces she will not seek re-election in 2026 after change of heart

Republican Cynthia Lummis will not be seeking re-election for her U.S. Senate seat in 2026, saying it's been "an incredible honor to represent Wyoming" in a statement shared on X.

"It's an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority," Lummis posted to X. "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 left in me."

"I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon," the senator wrote. "The energy required doesn't match up."

The announcement comes as many legislators have announced resignations ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which many political commentators have noted may be a referendum on President Donald Trump's second administration.

Well, first Stefanik and now Lummis won't be seeking re-election.  Definitely looking bleaker for the GOP.

The article doesn't address her age or health. It looks like she hasn't been an elected official for too long so maybe that is a factor.

Or maybe she realized she's beating her head against a brick wall. :shrug:

Yup.  She's old as hell.  Time to set age limits. Mandatory retirements. Burial insurance guarantees.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
