With regards to the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act, I believe it lacks a balanced approach. It designates 79,000 acres as new wilderness while only opening up 6,000 acres for recreation.

The purpose of the capital formation presentations and roundtable discussions is to create a dialogue with business leaders, economic development organizations, business incubators, and community leaders to promote investment in Montana and support businesses as they start up and/or grow their existing operations.
I think that freedom of speech is just that, and groups have the right to support or oppose issues that are going to affect them as well as individuals do.
The people of Montana want to send me to Washington - not to bring home the bacon but to slaughter the hog.
As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, I am blessed to call the bank of the great Yellowstone River outside Glendive my home.
I refuse to stand by and watch as Sen. Tester tries to implement his radical environmental agenda here and kill our coal industry and destroy thousands of Montana jobs.
When I was 20 years old, if you had a $100 bill and a good idea and a strong work ethic, you could start a company.
Health insurance costs in the United States are on an unsustainable path. I've heard from hundreds of Montanans who are paying thousands of dollars every year for their health insurance coverage and thousands more for deductibles before their insurance provides any benefit.
I think that the citizens of Montana are looking for citizen representatives that are willing to place character, common sense, and conservative values before party, big business, or personal enrichment.
Obamacare has made a mess of our health insurance and health care systems, and Washington politicians have failed to fix the problem.
It certainly seems to me we would like to bring in the best and the brightest individuals here to participate in this republic.
I'm a straight shooter: I'll stand with the people of Montana and President Trump to support Kavanaugh's nomination because there is no doubt that he will defend our Constitution and protect our Montana way of life.
I do not think our security will ever be so effective that we can catch every bad person at the border, nor do I think we can expect our local law enforcement officers to anticipate and stop every violent crime or terrorist act.
I'm ready to stand tall for freedom and get Washington out of our lives.
I've always said I would serve where Montanans feel I could be the most effective.
What I am is a principled conservative individual who believes in fiscal responsibility.
Jon Tester needs to be held accountable for his extreme partisan liberal record of supporting President Obama's judicial nominees 99% of the time but then opposing President Trump's nominees.
Too often, real policy improvements get drowned out by political talking points.
Jon Tester no longer can say that he supports the principles and values of the people of Montana.
I took action to allow Montanans to participate in direct primary care agreements with doctors and authorized the use of health care sharing ministries, both of which provide alternatives for more affordable health care.
I believe that providing options - not mandates - is the best way to reduce costs and improve the quality of our health care.
Tester voted for President Obama's nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan but opposed President Trump's nomination of Neil Gorsuch. That's not representing our Montana values.
Jon Tester's priorities are with the liberal, extreme minority of Democrats in the Senate unwilling to compromise. He does not have Montana's best interests in mind. He has failed to represent Montanans.
If we allow responsible management of our forests and end the nonsense litigation from radical environmental groups, we can get our timber mills up and running, reduce the risk of wildfires, and ensure healthier forests and cleaner air.
You are innocent until proven guilty. And if folks have come forward, whether it is judge Roy Moore or whether it is anyone else, and they have evidence to convict someone of a crime, then they should go through the legal process and do so.
How can you not have people in leadership roles in our country not supporting the rule of law? That's what separates us from the rest of the countries around the world.
I've shown I have the ability to reduce spending, I've shown I have the ability to reduce onerous regulations, and I've shown that I have the ability to fight for and restore our privacy and our personal freedoms.
I advised the insurance companies to apply certain rate adjustments only to plans where the federal government provides assistance in order to save Montanans money and keep rates lower on other plans.
I mean business about standing with President Trump to make America great again.
What's good for America is great for Montana.
I'll stand with President Trump and get tough on illegal immigration.
We need to secure the border and build the wall; we need to end sanctuary cities, deport criminals, and bring law and order back to this country.
Jon Tester had a chance to stop sanctuary cities, but he voted with them.
I'll stand with President Trump. We'll get tough, and we'll build that wall.
Jon Tester became a multi-millionaire in the Senate, even bought a Cosmopolitan Castle on Capitol Hill. I don't want a castle in Washington, and I don't think becoming a senator should make you rich enough to buy one.
You know government needs a haircut. If we keep their spending down, that's more money in your pocket.
Jon Tester has been a loyal, loyal, reliable vote for Chuck Schumer.
We all know that lower taxes will grow our economy and make our nation stronger.
We would not have this catastrophe of Obamacare if it were not for Jon Tester.
We are a nation of laws.
We are a nation of borders and - I mean, that is one of the main things that the federal government is in charge with, and that is protecting the citizens of the United States and our whole nation.
There is no way that anyone who - besides the folks that want to plain ignore facts - there's no way that anyone can say that by building that wall we are not going to accomplish a more secure border. It's just proven. We can do this.
Death should not be a taxable event.
The one thing that our nation is truly responsible for is securing the nation, make sure the citizens are safe.
When you look at all of the problems that are streaming and flowing over that border, the first thing we have to do is secure it. Job number one.
Once you secure that border, then we can start doing an analysis of what we are going to do with all of the folks that got here illegally.
The people of Montana understand that you will never be able to take enough money from them and give it to the government to quench that thirst. The government will always spend more money.
People understand that they can spend their money better than the government can.
We cannot have this porous border, where people come in and out; we don't know who they are.
Jon Tester continues to tell Montanans one thing and then votes the other way when he's back in Washington D.C.
