Since Biden took office, more than 7 million migrants have entered our country illegally through our southern border (a number greater than the population of 36 individual states). They had 290,178 associated charges and convictions (an average of four per individual). These included 33,209 assaults, 4,390 sexual assaults, 7,520 weapons offenses, 1,713 charges or convictions for homicide, and 1,655 kidnapping offenses. The southern border crisis is also costing American taxpayers around $451 billion per year for services provided.
Next, Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline. Gasoline prices rose from $2.25 per gallon up to $5 per gallon by mid-2022. With the OPEC+ decision to reduce supply further, gasoline prices are now headed toward $4.50 per gallon. Next, Biden decided to shrink our emergency SPR (to the lowest in 40 years). In response to my letter to Senator Tester on this, Tester replied: “I pushed the Administration to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve”.
Biden’s $69B loan ‘forgiveness’ package continues to grow, even after the Supreme Court ruled against it. In 2021 our interest rates were 2.6%, in 2024 the interest rate is 3.8%. Inflation was 1.4% when Biden took office, and now it is 3%. And food prices have surged more than 21% since the start of 2021.
And of course, we all remember the horrible withdrawal from Afghanistan. Every step of the way, Montana’s Senator Jon Tester has supported Biden’s failed polices and decisions (94%). It is time for a change. Decorated veteran and job creating entrepreneur Tim Sheehy represents that change for Montana in DC.

Democrats are running fake “independents” in the general election while using dark money to rig Republican primaries. Montana voters are being targeted by out-of-state liberal money. Don’t get fooled.

The Montana Republican Party has passed a resolution condemning massive dark money spending by far-left out-of-state billionaires and groups like Conservatives4MT in Republican primaries. Full details here.
Conservatives4MT is funded by liberal PACs like Way Back PAC and the Western Futures Fund (backed by Soros-linked money). Here’s the simple step-by-step breakdown of how they’re spending hundreds of thousands to influence Republican primaries in Montana.
