I am calling on President Biden to do the same.

It is essential that we work with our allies and partners in the region.

I have serious concerns with the radical views that you have taken in the past on abortion.

She`d follow a radical anti-American energy agenda.

I am just concerned about proceeding with this nomination. The track record and the ideology in the past, I think, will perpetuate more divisiveness and will certainly harm Montana's economy.

During the course of the last couple of days, Representative Haaland, you have implied that you would virtually blindly follow President Biden in his positions on energy and other important issues for the West.

Any additional relief package must be targeted, focused on ending the pandemic, which we will do with vaccines.

I do not believe Montanans should be footing the bill--Montana taxpayers--to help States get out of long-term financial problems.

If we are going to stop the pandemic, it is going to be through the vaccines.

I hope we have not become desensitized to the size of these numbers.

Any future relief must be targeted to those that truly need it the most.

It is just frustrating to see my colleagues on this side of the aisle trying to push forward a partisan $2 trillion bill instead of continuing to work across the aisle.

These last 12 months have been really tough, certainly for Montanans and for Americans across the country.

despite President Biden's call for unity, with the stroke of a pen, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline and the thousands of jobs that come with it. He eliminated tens of millions of dollars of tax revenues for communities in Montana for…

I want to thank my colleague from Utah, Senator Mike Lee, for his remarks. Last week, with the stroke of a pen, President Biden eliminated critical pro-life protections. He reversed the Mexico City policy and began the process of…

Since President Biden took office just two weeks ago, we have seen attack after attack on made-in-America energy and union jobs.

These actions could actually move us away from our climate ambitions. Today, the United States leads the world in reducing energy-related carbon emissions.

The cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline... will force major quantities of crude oil onto the rails, which now will emit up to three million tons of carbon dioxide annually into the atmosphere.

tomorrow is the 48th annual March for Life. Although this year's march will primarily be virtual, the importance of standing together to protect the unborn, the most vulnerable, and all life, is as important now as it has ever been…

the Keystone Pipeline is net carbon neutral.

Unfortunately, President Biden has already taken steps that are very concerning for Montana--cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline six hours into his presidency, prohibiting new oil and gas and coal leases on federal lands--we are already…

I think Colstrip Power Plant in Montana is uniquely suited for this DOE-funded pilot project.

I think that raising taxes in general is not a good idea, but particularly in the middle of a pandemic.

I am concerned by President-elect Biden's plans to increase taxes.

Before the pandemic, we had a booming economy. The national unemployment rate was 3.5 percent, the lowest level we had seen in 50 years.
