Calls Nominee Out of Step with Montana Values U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement after voting against President Biden’s judicial nominee Anthony Johnstone to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. “The Ninth Circuit has substantial influence over Montana and our way of life.

December 9, 2022

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement on President Biden’s judicial nominee Anthony Johnstone to the United States Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit. “Every federal judge in Montana has been chosen by a Democrat president and has repeatedly crushed our Montana way of life.

His record of undermining the Second Amendment and supporting President Biden’s reckless southern border policies are deeply concerning and pose a threat to our Montana values,” Daines said. “Montana’s lone seat on the Ninth Circuit should be held by someone that better reflects where our state has shifted over

Securing Our Borders

September 13, 2022

I am committed to ensuring that the federal government effectively protects Americans from terrorism, drug trafficking, cyber attacks, and other crime, while safeguarding our liberties and privacy. In Montana, our communities are being torn apart by Mexican fentanyl that is flowing in through our southern border. This is an issue folks all over our state are dealing with, and it must stop. Securing our southern border is a matter of national security. The increase in illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and human smuggling is unacceptable. I will support whatever is necessary to secure our borders – including by building a border

June 10, 2022

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines introduced a bill to protect Montana communities from President Biden’s southern border crisis. “Montana is a northern border state with a southern border crisis, and our communities are feeling the effects of President Biden’s open-border policies. We must put an end to ‘catch-and-release’ policies that put Montana families and communities in danger,” Daines said.

May 20, 2022

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the following statement in response to a federal judge temporarily blocking the Biden administration from ending the Title 42 public health order, which would have made President Biden’s border crisis even worse. “It’s outrageous that President Biden even considered rescinding Title 42 in the midst of a historic crisis at our southern border that’s leaving our country wide open to an influx of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants. While I’m glad to see a Trump-appointed judge block Biden’s senseless decision, the President needs to wake up, face reality and secure our southern
