“Today, our state and country mourn the passing of our dear Senator Alan Simpson,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) posted on X.

“There was no stronger advocate for the needs, industries, and interests of Wyoming. I extend my deepest thoughts and prayers to Al’s family and friends, he will be missed dearly.”

“Wyoming lost one of its most beloved and fiercest champions today,” said Senate Majority Whip Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) in a statement.

“Al Simpson is known for his devoted lifelong service and unparalleled sense of humor….While others ran from tough issues, Al embraced the opportunity to solve them. He cherished every fight to do what he thought was right. He was a mentor and a dear friend. Al’s incredible legacy will influence generations to come. My prayers are with his wife Ann, their children Bill, Colin, and Sue, and their entire family,” Barrasso added.
