The bipartisan resolution was cosponsored by U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), John Hickenlooper (D-Col.), and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), along with other Senators.\n\nStarted in 2005 by U.S. Senator Craig Thomas (R-Wyo.), the National Day of the American Cowboy traditionally coincides each year with the Cheyenne Frontier Days. In tribute to the hard-working men and women who helped establish the West, the resolution highlights the vital contributions that cowboys and cowgirls have made throughout American history.\n\n\u201cIn Wyoming, we commit to following the Cowboy Code. That means living each day with courage, taking pride in our work, and doing what needs to be done,\u201d said Senator Barrasso. \u201cThe American cowboy is a national symbol of the values, spirit, and traditions that we cherish most. I look forward to celebrating our American cowboys and cowgirls with the rest of Wyoming on this special day.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe American Cowboy embodies the independence, resilience, and work ethic that built this country,\u201d said Senator Lummis. \u201cWyoming is proud to call itself cowboy country, and every year on the National Day of the American Cowboy, I\u2019m reminded that these values don\u2019t belong to the past. They\u2019re what will carry America forward.\u201d\n\nOther cosponsors of the resolution include Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), and Jim Risch (R-Idaho).\n\nFull text of the resolution can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-25T07:13:44Z", "2026-07-25T07:15:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/senate-declares-july-25-the-national-day-of-the-american-cowboy/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9437631815671921, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
