Lummis opens field office in Sundance

SUNDANCE (WNE) – Is Sundance now the smallest city in the nation to host a congressional office? With the opening of U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis’ new digs within Old Stoney, it might just be. 
Having a presence in the smaller communities of Wyoming was the plan all along, said Kristin Walker, Chief of Staff for Lummis. 
She and State Director Jackie King came to town last week for the grand opening of the office and spent the afternoon meeting the community, playing cornhole and indulging in a spot of roping. 
Senators are permitted a certain amount of square footage around the state, Walker said, and Lummis made a decision – based on Wyoming being such a rural state – that she would prefer not to have one or two large offices in the biggest towns. 
Instead, she wanted to have a presence within the smaller populations, like Sundance and Afton, and across as much of the state as possible.
Lummis now has outreach offices in seven Wyoming locations: Casper, Cheyenne, Cody, Jackson, Sheridan, Afton and the newly opened office in Sundance.
