Cynthia Lummis - the best choice:

Of the candidates vying for Congress as our lone Wyoming representative, Cynthia is the only one who has extended experience in our Wyoming House and Senate. In her 14 years of service there, Cynthia has spent 10 as Wyoming state treasurer.

Her exceptional leadership and success in converting Wyoming's investment portfolio from $3.5 billion to a fully diversified portfolio which has increased it to $8.5 billion is amazing.

No wonder Cynthia was named the Wyoming Small Business Advocate of the Year. In 2007, Cynthia served on the subcommittee on royalty management that completed a performance audit on the Department of the Interior's federal mineral royalty collection and enforcement functions.

Cynthia presents the American point of view at sovereign wealth management conferences around the world. No one could deny that we need this kind of expertise on the federal level as a representative in Congress.

Cynthia believes that Wyoming people have the answers that Washington needs to make America energy independent. Her leadership in Wyoming's balanced budget and savings accounts are models for Washington to follow!

Cynthia is the only candidate with this kind of experience to represent our state. Vote for Cynthia Lummis as our representative!
