Happy opening day Montana! Good luck to everyone heading out for rifle season. Hunting is part of who we are, and protecting our public lands allows us to pass that tradition on to our kids. Hunt safe and fill those freezers.

Twenty-five years ago America was attacked on our home soil. Today, we remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost and the courage our nation showed in the face of evil. God bless America. Never forget. https://t.co/X587DGLv7x

The A River Runs Through It Act is a made in Montana solution, and I’m proud to introduce it. It supports our timber industry, reduces wildfire risk, protects public access, and keeps the Blackfoot working for everybody. Thanks to everyone who joined us at the introduction event at the legendary Smoke Elzer’s Barn in Missoula.

Congratulations to Travis Naugle and Silver Bow Mining for making Montana a Treasure State Again. The acquisition of the troubled Montana Tunnels fully restored full state bonding and will honor more than four million dollars of tax debt to Jefferson County Schools. Good news for America’s critical mineral supply chain and great news for high paying Montana jobs. Bravo Zulu!

@RMEF has been one of the strongest conservation partners in Montana and across the West, and I’m honored to receive their Excellence in Advocacy Award. From keeping public lands in public hands to improving elk migration corridors and restoring healthy forests, we share a belief that conservation works best when hunters, landowners, states, tribes, and federal managers are at the table.

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
