Why does that make sense?

I rise today in recognition of Jean Turnage, the former Montana Supreme Court chief justice and a State senate president who passed away earlier this week. Chief Justice Turnage was a true public servant who always put Montana and this…

I want to thank the Senator from Tennessee for his leadership and unwavering commitment to the LWCF through the many years. We are also joined by the Senator from Maine, Ms. Collins. Senator Collins comes from the beautiful State of Maine…

Montana's national forests and public lands have been a pleasure and a part of our State's heritage for generations. As a fifth-generation Montanan and as someone who loves the outdoors, I recognize how valuable our public lands are and…

Our nation should not hesitate to invest in the care of these veterans and correct this wrong.

It literally took an act of Congress to make that change. But now the people of Montana, State Fish, Wildlife and Parks, we manage wolf populations in Montana.

Unless we pass legislation to include Blue Water Navy veterans like these two Montanans, they will be denied critically important VA care for diseases that our own military exposed them to.
