Lummis Highlights $8M Wyoming Oil Lease Sale Under Trump, Contrasts with $27K Biden-Era Results

September 17, 2025
Washington, D.C.—Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today touted the announcement of a successful Bureau of Land Management lease sale in Wyoming, representing a resounding victory for President Trump’s America First energy agenda and a decisive rejection of the Biden administration’s anti-energy policies.
The leasing this week of 32 parcels totaling over 39,000 acres for more than$8.4 millionin receipts demonstrates good news for Wyoming. By contrast, the Biden administration’sSeptember 2024 salenetted just over$27,000.Biden entered office in 2021 promising to end drilling on public lands and immediately signed orders to crush new drilling.
“This week’s Wyoming oil and gas lease sale represents a stark contrast from the disastrous energy policies of the Biden administration,”stated Lummis.“For perspective, the 2024 Biden Wyoming September oil and gas lease sale netted just over $27,000. That’s not a typo. Just $27,000 versus over eight million dollars for this September’s sale under the Trump administration. That’s a 31,000% increase in revenue. The difference between an administration that wages war on American energy and one that unleashes it could not be clearer. The Trump administration is delivering for Wyoming and the energy workers that power our nation.”
