Social Security is really relevant, it is truly relevant and important to Montanans.

The Endangered Species program is broken. If you look at the data, less than four percent of species listed have ever recovered.

These new leases, it is a long process here and it is creating great problems right now as we think about our long-term future.

This Administration has now put a stop to two mandatory lease sales and there appears to be no end in sight.
