It’s clear that Jon Tester is a desperate man doing desperate things, including spreading outright lies, fearmongering, and misleading Montanans—particularly on health care. Here’s the hard truth: our healthcare system is broken. On Jon Tester’s watch, costs are going up, and access is going down. Because of Obamacare, Montanans face higher premiums year after year. We’ve lost access to doctors and health care plans we were told we could keep. More government control has only made things worse. We must make health care more transpare...

The Whitewater Penguins have three new runners on the course this season. Our veteran, Shelbi LaBrie, is returning with the addition of Sommer Green (11th), Tyler Scheffelmear (11th), and Barrett Wasson (7th).

On Friday the runners competed in 80+ degrees, so it was a hot, miserable one. The Wolf...

Hoping the summer is treating you all well. I took a trip to Malta (a couple of weeks ago) with a couple of constituents and colleagues. It was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the new Senate District 14 I will be representing starting 1 January 2025. You may recall, Montana was recently redistricted, which drew new political boundaries for congressional and legislative districts. I’m trying to familiarize myself with where the district lines are in the real world, not just on a map. East of Havre, I know the district includes all o...
