Timeline
Lummis was a signer of Americans for Tax Reform’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
After her retirement from congress in 2016, Lummis was speculated to be considering a run for governor of Wyoming in 2018. However, in late 2017, Lummis ruled out a run for governor, citing that she was enjoying her time outside of public life. However, she stated that she is still likely to run for office again, just not for governor in 2018. Lummis was actively being considered to be United States Secretary of the Interior in the Trump administration after the resignation of Ryan Zinke, however David Bernhardt was eventually appointed to the position instead of her. On May 4, 2019, Sen. Mike Enzi announced his retirement, leading to speculation that she might run for his seat in the 2020 election. On July 11, 2019, she announced her campaign.
In October 2013, corrections officer Jason Adam Senteney announced that he would challenge Lummis in the 2014 Republican primary. Senteney opposed the 2013 government shutdown: "You should never shut down essential programs for people. ... Whether it's a negotiation tactic or not, you shouldn't punish the American people for your own failure to work together in Washington."
