WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, along with U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman, all R-Wyo., issued the following statements in support of Wyoming State Senator Darin Smith’s nomination to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Wyoming.

President Trump recently announced Smith’s nomination. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Smith will serve as the chief federal law enforcement officer for the state of Wyoming.

“Darin Smith is ready and well-qualified to serve as Wyoming’s chief federal law enforcement officer,” said Barrasso. “President Trump made a solid, conservative choice in nominating Darin. Darin’s experience in the Wyoming State Senate and years of practicing law in Wyoming will serve him well. I look forward to confirming him in the U.S. Senate as soon as possible.”  

“The President has made an excellent decision in nominating Darin Smith to serve the people of Wyoming as U.S. Attorney,” said Lummis. “Darin possesses the qualifications, experience, and values needed to take on this challenging role. I am eager to move forward with his confirmation in the U.S. Senate and get him to work at the earliest opportunity.”

“I support President Trump’s nomination of Darin Smith as U.S. Attorney for the District of Wyoming,” said Hageman. “I trust that he will uphold the rule of law, defend Wyoming values, and work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.”

In November 2024, Smith was elected to the Wyoming State Senate, representing District 6. He founded the Smith Group Law Office in 2000 and has served as the managing partner for the past 25 years. Smith also serves as the Director of Planned Giving and Foundations for the Family Research Council.

Smith received his B.S. from the University of Wyoming in 1996 and his J.D. from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2000.
