On May 28, 2024, Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), John Thune (R-SD), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) addressed a letter to U.S. Forest Service Chief Randy Moore. The senators criticized the Biden administration's forest management policies in the Black Hills National Forest, which they claim have reduced the number of trees available for harvest, leading to sawmill closures and job losses among timber workers.
