The upcoming major economic shift is driven by artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and digital assets. America must lead this change rather than hinder it with the same excessive regulation that has slowed our industries for decades. Wyoming has positioned itself as a national leader in cryptocurrency law; our junior U.S. Senator, Cynthia Lummis, has been a prominent supporter of cryptocurrency, and Steve will continue that effort.
The Biden administration attempted to stifle crypto through regulatory harassment. That strategy was flawed and harmed American innovators and investors. Steve advocates for clear, reasonable federal regulation that safeguards consumers from fraud and bad actors while allowing innovators and entrepreneurs the freedom to create. Bitcoin mining has become a vibrant industry in Wyoming and across the West, and Steve will support policies that defend this industry and its energy infrastructure.
Steve opposes a federal Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) that would give the government unprecedented ability to monitor and control every financial transaction Americans make. Financial privacy is a fundamental right. Wyoming should lead in America’s digital asset economy, and Steve will fight to ensure Washington’s policies support that future.
