Daines-Sheehy Joint Statement on Blocking Sale of Public Lands

“Public Lands Belong in Public Hands”

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senators Tim Sheehy and Steve Daines issued the following joint statement after blocking a provision that would sell public lands from being included in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Debate on the bill is scheduled to begin later today but the provision was removed from the bill late last night:

“Public lands belong in public hands. Blocking the sale of public lands is a victory for our Montana way of life.

“We look forward to the final passage of the Big Beautiful Bill in order to prevent the largest tax increase in American history, secure the border, unleash American energy, and most importantly, implement President Trump’s America First agenda that Montanans – and folks across the country – overwhelmingly support and sent us here to enact.”
