Montanans elected me to the Senate to do away with shady backroom deals and to make government work better.

Generally I'm against regulation.

Politicians love regulating. That's part of the whole power structure.

You could have 50 different states having 50 different regulations... until they were all litigated out.

In New Mexico... I may have vetoed more legislation as governor of New Mexico than all the other governors in the country combined.

I think it's a reasonable request to ask: if you're going to write a piece of regulation that affects Montana, I think you should know the difference between Butte and Bozeman.

I'm personally committed to improving Montana's economic future.

We have had a chance to travel to all 56 counties in this state, and I have had the chance to sit around with cups of coffee and having conversations about what matters to Montanans.

Every time Washington regulators pass down another heavy-handed rule or levy another hefty fine, Colorado loses potential jobs, revenue, and economic security.

The truth is Floridians and Montanans have more in common than you might think. Both are fed up with partisan gridlock in D.C., and look to their state leaders to find common ground, pursue compromise, and move forward solutions that improve the health of their economy, their communities and their residents.
