Safety, Security, and the Rule of Law
A secure nation, safe communities, and the rule of law applied equally to everyone — these are not partisan values. They are the foundation of a functioning society. Montana deserves a Senator who takes all of it seriously: protecting our borders, supporting our law enforcement officers, defending our military assets, ensuring our energy future, and promoting trade policies that determine whether Montana's farmers and businesses can compete and thrive.
Border Security & Immigration
Any nation needs secure borders; that's just common sense. We can build an immigration system that is secure, orderly, fair, and actually functional: One that works for Montana's farmers and ranchers who need reliable, legal labor, and that upholds the Constitutional protections that apply to everyone on American soil.
National Security
America is at its best when it leads from strength. Our alliances make us stronger. They are not a burden; they are a force multiplier that no adversary can match. Montana should be at the forefront of our nation’s defense, both through Malmstrom Air Force Base and through our state’s research universities, which have the capacity to be national leaders in defense technology innovation. A strong national defense is also a Montanan economic asset, and Montana workers should be building it.
Energy: Affordable, Independent, and Built for Montana's Future
Montana needs a true all-of-the-above energy strategy to keep electricity affordable for families and small businesses, fuel good-paying jobs across the state, and strengthen American energy independence and security. Washington's job is to support that strategy, not to pick winners and losers. But that is exactly what has been happening.
The past year has shown what happens when Washington turns energy into a culture war. Canceling wind projects doesn't strengthen America — it takes power off the grid at the moment we need it most, raises electricity prices for Montana families and businesses, kills good-paying Montana jobs, and makes us more dependent on foreign energy sources. That is not an energy policy. It is ideology dressed up as one, and Montana pays the price.
At the same time, Montana's energy future includes a new and rapidly growing demand: data centers. These facilities represent real economic opportunity — investment, jobs, and tax revenue for Montana communities. But they also consume extraordinary amounts of electricity and water, and if we're not careful, the costs get quietly shifted onto Montana families while the benefits flow elsewhere. This simply can't happen.
