  • "As the father of four children, I am proudly Pro-Life. My wife, Carmen, and I couldn’t imagine life without our children. I believe the most precious gift from God is life and that we have a responsibility to protect and defend the most vulnerable in our society from our children to our seniors. We have also helped bring the upgraded neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to the Gallatin Valley, showing our commitment to providing critical care to at-risk infants." (timformt.com)
  • "It’s unfortunate that what gets lost in this debate is that Jon Tester supports elective abortion on demand up until the moment of birth. Think about that again: Jon Tester supports aborting a healthy, full-term baby the day before it’s due. That is the extreme position here." (timformt.com)
  • "We must keep our commitment to every Montana senior to protect their Social Security and Medicare benefits. Our nation made a promise to our seniors, and I will fight each and every day to honor that promise and preserve the benefits they’ve earned." (timformt.com)
  • "The progressive tax-and-spend policies of @JoeBiden and @jontester are driving up costs for all Montanans and making it harder for families to achieve the American Dream and secure a better future. #RetireTester" (x.com)

  • "We need to fund our military and stand strong against China, secure our southern border, and once again, make America energy dominant and independent." (timformt.com)
  • "We need to get the woke crap out of our military and make America strong again." (x.com)
  • "Liberal career politicians in DC, like Jon Tester, lead to reckless government spending, which leads to once-in-a-generation inflation and sky-high interest rates, which make the American Dream of homeownership tougher and tougher to achieve." (x.com)
  • "President Biden and Jon Tester’s reckless policies have given us record high inflation, rising grocery prices, and higher energy costs. I will work to end the out-of-control spending and the disastrous economic policies that are crushing Montana families and small businesses." (timformt.com)

  • "We have a $32 trillion debt. $32 trillion. The spending in Washington is out of control, and the career politicians are doing absolutely nothing to rein in this out-of-control spending. We must balance the budget and begin to lower our national debt." (timformt.com)

  • "It’s time to make America energy independent and dominant once again. We can power America’s resurgence with the greatest form of energy known to man, our God given natural resources. We are blessed here with abundant coal, minerals, timber and grasslands – let’s make sure Montana producers come first. We should be able to responsibly develop those resources here at home to create more high-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and support our communities, all while protecting the environment. This isn’t an either/or choice like the left would have you believe. We can do both" (timformt.com)
  • "We must repeal the new EPA job-killing energy regulations and mandates that the Democrats put on our economy that are driving up costs and preventing us from being energy independent – this serves only to embolden our adversaries and makes energy costs soar for hardworking Montanans. We must also take a strong stand against the disastrous socialist Green New Deal that would destroy Montana’s economy and jobs and devastate our communities." (timformt.com)
  • "In Joe Biden’s America, we’re getting hammered by rising gas prices, while Russia and Saudi Arabia cut oil supply, and Biden is bending the knee to the climate cult again — ending drilling in one of our most resource-rich areas. This is America Last policy in action. We must make America energy independent and dominant again." (x.com)

  • "I will fight back against any attempt by liberal politicians like Joe Biden and Jon Tester from pursuing a radical gun control agenda that threatens our Second Amendment rights. Our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As a Navy SEAL who fought for our country and to protect our freedoms, this is a fundamental constitutional right that must and will always be protected under my watch." (timformt.com)
  • "Our health care system is broken. 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 of our health care has only made things worse. Like most Montanans, I believe we need to promote greater transparency, competition, and shopping for services in our health care system. We should be rewarding outcomes and innovation, improving access to care in our rural communities, and most importantly, protecting Montanans with pre-existing conditions." (timformt.com)

  • "As a Navy SEAL, I’ve served overseas and seen firsthand what happens when you have a porous border. What’s happening at the southern border is an absolute crisis, and it gets worse each day under the Biden administration and with career politicians like Jon Tester who talk a tough game about border security but aren’t getting the job done. The result of an open southern border is more crime and drugs flooding into our country and into our Montana communities. We need to take a strong stand and secure our border, finish the wall, and finally put an end to illegal immigration once and for all." (timformt.com)

  • "Are you kidding me?!?! This bill does NOTHING to actually seal the border and end illegal immigration once and for all. It’s a mass amnesty scheme. It codifies illegal immigration. And, of course, they couldn’t resist sending BILLIONS MORE to Ukraine. This bill is everything that’s wrong with Washington DC. It’s an America Last load of crap…KILL THE BILL!!" (x.com)
  • "Schumer’s scheme is as swampy as it gets…Hard NO to any "deal" that allows thousands of illegal border crossings a day or provides amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens!" (x.com)

  • "In the last week, Jon Tester has fought to give Joe Biden the power to make illegal aliens into voting citizens while shoveling another $60B to Ukraine. Yes, Tester just voted to send ANOTHER $60 BILLION to secure Ukraine’s border while letting Biden continue the invasion on America’s border. He’s an absolute phony who doesn’t care about Montana, just serving his masters in Washington. Put America First, always!" (x.com)
  • "We must stand strong with Israel. We must stop empowering the world’s largest state sponsor of terror. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer is trying to subvert Israel’s democracy and Joe Biden is giving billions more to Iran — which is funding the terrorists who attacked Israel. The Democrats have it backwards as they try to please the radical progressives in their party. We need moral clarity and new, strong leaders to end this madness." (x.com)
