Lummis Says No to Obamatrade Authority

Press Release

Date: June 12, 2015
Location: Washington, DC

Today U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (WY-at large) voted against Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which passed the House. However, since an accompanying trade measure, linked by law to TPA, failed to pass, the TPA measure remains in the House and will not be signed into law without further Congressional action. Rep. Lummis voted against TPA in addition to the linked trade legislation. Commenting on the votes, Rep. Lummis issued the following statement:

"After six years of misleading statements on Obamacare, failed foreign policy, and power grabs over water and land, this president has proven to be untrustworthy at every single turn. I could not bring myself to cast Wyoming's vote in support of President Obama's politically driven agenda. I don't trust him with a clod of dirt, let alone international trade deals."
