Lummis pledged to respect the Electoral College results in December 2020, but weeks later joined senators pledging to object, then voted to object to Pennsylvania's certification on January 6, 2021. The Casper Star-Tribune called her first Senate vote 'a flip-flop on a flip-flop.' Republican Accountability gave her an 'F' democracy score.

Lummis broke from her long-standing opposition to same-sex marriage by voting for the Respect for Marriage Act, becoming one of only 12 Senate Republicans to support it. The Wyoming GOP passed a formal resolution condemning her vote, and multiple county-level censure attempts followed. She justified the reversal as an act of 'tolerating' others' views.

Lummis has championed the BITCOIN Act of 2025, which would direct the U.S. Treasury to purchase 1 million Bitcoin over five years with a 20-year holding period, and has been hailed as the 'Crypto Queen' of the Senate. She co-sponsored the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation and the CLARITY Act for crypto market structure.

Lummis champions Bitcoin legislation that could directly enrich her personally. MSNBC's Chris Hayes warned the BITCOIN Act could transfer $100 billion from taxpayers to Bitcoin owners — a group that includes Lummis, who first bought Bitcoin at $330 and has held the asset while writing laws that boost its price.

Lummis voted against the bipartisan infrastructure bill and foreign aid packages citing fiscal concerns, yet she championed the One Big Beautiful Bill which independent analyses projected would add trillions to the deficit. She also pushed a failed Bitcoin tax exemption amendment to that same bill.

Expected position: As Wyoming's first female senator representing a rural and dispersed constituency, Lummis would be expected to hold open, in-person town halls accessible to all constituents. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Lummis held a joint tele-townhall with Barrasso and Hageman on February 10, 2025, where participants 'answered questions about how they are working with President Trump.' In November 2025, the Circle of Cheyenne Citizen Warriors invited all three Wyoming delegation members to an in-person town hall; staff members for all three declined. While Lummis was active on social media, in Senate hearings, and at Bitcoin conferences during this period, no in-person town halls were publicly announced or held. The tele-townhall format has been criticized for allowing curated questions and limited participation.

Expected position: As chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Lummis would be expected to address how her son-in-law Will Cole's role at a Bitcoin-only custody company and her personal Bitcoin holdings influence her regulatory approach toward competing cryptocurrencies. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Lummis canceled a meeting with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse in May 2025 without rescheduling. Crypto sleuth 'Cowboy Crypto' noted her son-in-law 'is Head of Product for a $BTC payments company and hates seeing Ripple do well.' CoinDesk reported this perceived bias has led to conflict-of-interest concerns. Lummis has not publicly addressed the potential conflict between her family's financial stake in Bitcoin and her role as the chief Senate regulator of all digital assets — including Bitcoin competitors. She has been active on social media pushing Bitcoin-centric legislation throughout this period.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
