Washington, D.C. - Wyoming's U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis have voted to allow the sale of federal land to help pay for President Trump's budget.

The budget amendment, by Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) would have blocked using public land sales to supply the budget.

Republicans say sales will resolve affordable housing near national parks, while Democrats say it could just open the door for drilling and logging.

As of Tuesday morning, neither Lummis nor Barrasso have released statements on their vote, but on Friday Sen. Barrasso weighed in on the budget saying, in part, "Today's Senate budget is the building block for our bold Republican agenda. It fulfills our promise to secure the border, rebuild the economy, and restore peace through strength. Most importantly, it represents in every way a 180-degree turn from the deadly, destructive liberal failures of the past four years. The Republican budget means American energy dominance. No more liberal handcuffs on American energy. We are going back to energy independence. Affordable, reliable American energy is the best way to grow the economy and lower costs."

Nebraska's U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts, both Republicans, also voted against the measure. In fact, the only GOP support came from the two U.S. Senators from Montana.

The Wyoming Democratic Party issued a statement Tuesday calling Lummis and Barrasso's vote a "slap in the face to the voters they are supposed to represent. The idea that these lands could be sold off to find tax cuts for billionaires is as offensive as it is out of touch."
