Call to End to Inaccurate Attacks on Montana Businesses
Dear Editor, Bipartisan Letter from Montana Business Leaders Small businesses are at the heart of all American communities—nowhere more than here in Montana.

Meanderings: The Importance of this Senate race, Our decision to Endorse Sheehy
Well, Folks, as many of you saw on the front page of our newspaper this week, we have made the choice to endorse Montana U.S. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy over MT Senator Jon Tester.

Between the Lines: A few notes about the election:
* It’s striking how quickly Republicans have moved from blaming the last four years on Joe Biden to blaming them on Kamala Harris.

He will do anything he can to hang onto power
Dear Editor I’m disgusted by Jon Tester’s lack of virtue which was demonstrated by the full page ads in newspapers falsely accusing Tim Sheehy of shutting down our rural hospitals. Even for Tester, this ad is a new low designed to stir up fear in the hearts of our neighbors. It’s politics at its worst, […]
Tester Breaks with Moderates on Senate Filibuster
This past Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris told Wisconsin Public Radio that she supports eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass a codification of Roe v. Wade. If the filibuster were to be eliminated, the Senate would just need a simple majority of 51 rather than 60 votes to pass legislation. Harris has voiced support for […]

However, many of the featured “Republicans” have solely supported Democrats and their policies, while openly criticizing Republicans.
