Im a farmer. I always will be a farmer. When I die, Ill be a farmer. Its something that Ive wanted to do since I was 8 years old. I can tell you also that I see opportunity slipping away for our kids.

Montanans elected me to the Senate to do away with shady backroom deals and to make government work better.

Youve got to have a good public education system so small-business owners, when they locate to an area, are confident their kids are getting the best education possible. I feel strongly about local control in school districts.

I have great faith in the people of Montana; they can't be bought.

Montana's ranchers raise the best cattle in the world. If Taco Bell needs to beef up, they can give their customers the highest quality meat around by using Montana beef, and in the process, supporting agriculture jobs in Montana.

I don't want to weaken the Patriot Act. I want to repeal it.

I think people need to know what they're eating. That's why I support "country of origin" labeling. That's why I support labeling of GMO's.
