Fergus County vets: we've secured a new VA clinic for Lewistown! This new and improved facility will deliver more convenient, quality care closer to home, and I'll keep on VA to ensure this important project stays on track for the local community. lewistownnews.com/news/va-to-bui…

Our seniors shouldn't have to go without lifesaving medications because Big Pharma is jacking up the price—so I took on the giant pharmaceutical companies and secured lower prescription drug costs for thousands of Montana patients and providers like Yvonne and Dr. Harder-Brouwer.

Two years ago, we got the PACT Act done when nobody said we could. Why? Because it was the # 1 priority for veterans and their families. Now we need to do the same with my Major Richard Star Act—the top legislative issue for veterans and VSOs. Our combat-injured vets can't wait.

Extreme floods can be devastating for Montana farmers, ranchers, families, and small businesses. That's why we're delivering the resources to help protect Three Forks and its economy and make this area a safer place to live. belgrade-news.com/news/tester-th…

Tackling veterans' homelessness requires an all-hands-on-deck approach, and that starts with ensuring groups on the ground have the resources to help our vets. Proud to be delivering more than $11M to organizations committed to supporting at-risk Montana vets and their families.

Rural veterans deserve top-notch facilities close to home. This new VA clinic in Lewistown is a big win for Fergus County veterans, and I look forward to seeing it open its doors and improve veterans' access to care as soon as possible. helenair.com/news/local/mon…

The severity of the Remington Fire is significantly impacting MT producers, threatening their land and livelihoods. As our brave firefighters work tirelessly to contain it, I'm urging USDA to deliver swift emergency assistance to protect our farmers, ranchers, and food systems:

ICYMI: Montana seniors will soon save big on ten of the most common prescription drugs. It's all thanks to legislation I helped pass into law to lower medication costs in our state and help keep more money in Montanans' pockets. montanarightnow.com/montana/senato…

The Remington Fire has damaged farmland, fencing, property, and livestock around southeast Montana. As our firefighters work around the clock to get it under control, I'm calling for swift emergency assistance to support impacted farmers and ranchers. nbcmontana.com/news/local/gia…

This targeted funding I secured for Three Forks will improve flood resiliency, protect the local economy, and make this community a safer place to live. I'll keep working to ensure the project is completed swiftly and effectively. threeforksvoice.com/story/2024/08/…

ICYMI: I'm calling on USDA to provide immediate emergency assistance to farmers and ranchers impacted by the Remington Fire. This fire is putting MT producers' land and livelihoods at risk, and it's critical they get quick relief to protect their operations and our food systems.

Montanans are the hardest-working people I know, and I'll always have the backs of the working folks who power our state, make an honest living, and strive every day to build a better future for our kids and grandkids. Happy Labor Day, Montana!

Preserving our National Parks isn't just good for Montanans' access to public lands—it's also good for the outdoor economy that our gateway communities rely on. I'll never stop championing our Parks and all they offer to MT families and small businesses. bozemandailychronicle.com/news/tourism-t…

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, which preserves some of Big Sky Country's most incredible wilderness areas. With help from my Blackfoot-Clearwater Stewardship Act, we're fighting to expand them and keep more public lands protected for generations to come.

Ensuring Montanans' access to housing is particularly important when it comes to our vets and their families. That's why I'm so proud to be delivering these resources to support life-changing work on the ground to tackle veteran homelessness in Montana. montanarightnow.com/elections/mont…

With this investment I secured for @Montana_Tech, the Orediggers will help strengthen our domestic critical mineral capacity and keep Montana on the front lines of innovation. I look forward to these students leading the way in technology, manufacturing, and natural resources!

The Land and Water Conservation Fund is one of the best tools we have to preserve our public lands. It's why we fought so hard to fully and permanently fund it through my Great American Outdoors Act and why I'm excited to celebrate it this week as we mark 60 years of the LWCF!
