Pro-crypto US Senator Cynthia Lummis announced she will not seek reelection in 2026, citing a lack of energy for another six-year term.

Summary

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, a prominent advocate for digital assets in the US Congress, announced via X that she will not run for reelection in 2026, meaning she will leave office in 2027. Lummis, who began her term in January 2021, stated that while she is a devout legislator, she feels like a "sprinter in a marathon" and lacks the energy required for another six-year term. She is a key Republican pushing for the passage of the digital asset market structure bill currently under consideration in the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees, which previously passed the House in July.
