U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines voted against Senate Democrats’ latest attempt at a federal election takeover. “This is the fourth time the Democrats have tried to pass their partisan power grab to take control of the country and our elections. This effort is about President Biden, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats trying to ensure they control Washington forever. They’re targeting commonsense laws that states like Montana put in place to make it harder to cheat and their federal takeover would overrule the voices of Montana voters.  Instead of putting their radical agenda over what America needs right now, the Democrats should

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines released the following statement on President Biden’s first year in office.  “In his first year of office, President Biden has failed Montana. He’s created an out-of-control inflation crisis that has wreaked havoc on Montana families, small businesses and workers. Instead of putting Montana and America first, Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline, left our southern border wide open to illegal immigrants and drugs, and orchestrated a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. He’s still pushing a multitrillion dollar reckless tax and spending spree and forcing his overreaching vaccine mandates on Montanans. To say this year was anything

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines today sent a letter to DirecTV CEO, Bill Morrow, raising concerns about the company’s decision to remove conservative network One America News Network (OAN) from their platform. “There has not been sufficient justification from DirecTV as to why OAN’s contract was not renewed by your company.

U.S. SENATE — Today, U.S. Senator Steve Daines voted to impose new sanctions against Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline.  “On Day One, President Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline and all of the jobs in Montana that came with it. Then, to make matters worse, he allowed Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline to move forward, putting Russian jobs above American ones and giving Putin leverage over our friends and allies. Now, we are seeing Russian forces threaten Ukraine and it is critical we hold Putin and Russia accountable for this aggression. It’s time we put an end to this and sanction
