November 12, 2024

U.S. Senator Steve Daines today joined a bicameral amicus brief to overturn the Biden-Harris Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) rule that requires state governments to measure greenhouse gas emissions on the highway system and set declining targets. “This rule is just another example of the Biden-Harris administration’s executive overreach that attacks our Montana way of life and does nothing but fuel climate alarmism. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress and the incoming Trump administration to reverse the radical climate agenda that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris tried to force on Montanans,” said Daines.

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines, together with his colleagues, sent a letter calling out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not only causing the national security crisis at the southern border on day one, but fueling it throughout their entire Administration by destructive executive orders. “Instead of addressing the flow of illegal immigration and illicit drugs across our borders, your administration has turned its back on those who wish to immigrate here legally and welcomed illegal aliens with open arms. Instead of directing resources to securing our borders and processing legal immigrant applications, your administration has crippled our immigration

Daines Calls Biden-Harris Regulation Affecting Mining “Cynical and Desperate Attempt to Get Votes Before Election”

Last month, following the layoff of 700 employees at Stillwater Mine, Daines called on the Treasury to reverse course on their anti-mining draft guidance and include extraction costs in the tax credit.

Daines Introduces Bill to Ban Handgun Rosters, Protect Montanans’ 2A Rights

October 15, 2024

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines introduced the “Modern Firearms Safety Act,” which would prohibit states from enforcing unconstitutional handgun rosters. These rosters mandate that firearms include costly and unnecessary features like microstamping, loaded chamber indicators and magazine disconnect mechanisms. This makes it nearly impossible for manufacturers to sell new handguns. “Our Founding Fathers were clear —the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Forcing Americans to outfit their firearms with onerous and costly features is a clear attempt to undermine the Second Amendment and law-abiding citizens’ constitutional rights, and it must stop,” said Daines. The “Modern
