U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joined U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee and 21 of their Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Joe Biden raising concerns and requesting transparency regarding Executive Order 14019, which instructed federal agencies to engage in voter mobilization and submit to the White House, and plan for doing so.

A media release from Senator Lummis’ office states that the Biden administration’s use of Wyoming tax dollars to mobilize voters is a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from using funds without congressional authorization, as well as an act of potentially unlawful electioneering. In order to determine the voter mobilization and electioneering activities to which the Biden administration has devoted taxpayer resources, the letter requested the Biden administration provide the people copies of all federal agency “strategic plans” required under the order and a list of which agencies have not yet submitted a strategic plan, the strategic plan required by the General Services Administration under the order and the recommendations provided by the Office of Personnel Management and all procedures established by the Attorney General under the order. A copy of the letter can be viewed here.
