U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement after a federal judge struck down President Biden’s mask mandate for Montana travelers. “This is a big victory for Montanans and commonsense,” Daines said. “It’s past time we let families get back to normal and put an end to all of Biden’s unscientific, unconstitutional mandates for good.” This ruling comes after the Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced they would extend the travel mask mandate until May 3, 2022. Background: Daines has been leading efforts in Congress against Biden’s vaccine mandates and while he is pro-vaccine, he is anti-mandate. On March 15, 2022, Daines’

U.S. SENATE – Today Senator Steve Daines’ effort to strike down President Biden’s overreaching federal vaccine mandate for Montana healthcare workers passed the U.S. Senate.  “While I am pro-vaccine, I am anti-mandate. President Biden’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers threatens to cripple our rural hospitals, impact patient care and intensify the worker shortage at our health care facilities,” Daines said. “While I’m glad to see my effort to strike down Biden’s mandate for Montana’s healthcare heroes and rural health providers pass the U.S. Senate, I’m extremely disappointed that all Senate Democrats opposed it. We must work to support our healthcare heroes, not burden them with additional mandates.”

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines introduced another legislative effort to strike down President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The measure introduced by Daines and Senate Republicans would block Biden’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandate for Montana healthcare workers.  “President Biden’s overreaching vaccine mandate for Montana healthcare workers threatens to cripple our hospitals and hurt our healthcare heroes who have been on the frontlines since the beginning of the pandemic. I’ve heard concerns from health providers across Montana that Biden’s vaccine mandate would further burden our healthcare system, which is already struggling with worker shortages. I will continue doing all that I can to block Biden’s vaccine mandates on behalf of Montanans,” Daines said.  Daines’ effort comes after the

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines is urging U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to rescind the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for Montana Head Start employees and volunteers that could force them out of their jobs and threaten access to childcare for families in need.   “As you know, the rule requires universal masking for those two years and older attending Head Start and mandates all staffers, contractors working directly with children, and volunteers be vaccinated against the coronavirus by January 31, 2022. More than 3,000 children attend Head Start in the state of Montana. Now, this vaccine mandate

U.S. SENATE — Senate Democrats today voted against U.S. Senator Steve Daines’ effort to stop President Biden’s vaccine mandates that will hurt Montana small businesses, federal employees, federal contractors, healthcare workers and service members.  “President Biden’s overreaching vaccine mandate will hurt Montana small businesses and force hardworking Montanans out of their jobs. Tonight, the Senate had a chance to help kill the mandate, yet every Senate Democrat, including the senior senator from Montana, chose to stand with Biden and voted against it. I won’t stop fighting until Biden’s mandates are no longer a reality,” Daines said.  It’s estimated that about 130,000 Montanans will be
