Several other senators of both major parties also sponsored the bill. According to the release:

“The American cowboy symbolizes the spirit, values and traditions that people in Wyoming cherish most,” said Barrasso. “Washington could benefit from adhering to the cowboy’s commitment to honesty, integrity and hard work. I look forward to celebrating our American cowboys and cowgirls with the rest of Wyoming on this special day.”

“In Wyoming, we adhere to the Code of the West, a code of ethics that cowboys and cowgirls hold dear. Live each day with courage, be tough but fair, ride for the brand, do what has to be done. These values guide us well at home, and I carry them with me to Washington. In Wyoming, we honor the spirit of the American cowboy every day. On July 24th, the rest of the country gets a little taste of the values we hold so dear,” said Lummis.

Other cosponsors of the resolution include Senators Jon Tester (D-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Mike Rounds (R-SD), James Risch (R-ID), Mike Crapo (R-ID), James Inhofe (R-OK), Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).''
