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

I want to remain that family farmer independence, which I think is so critical to this country. I think it's helped build this country.

I will tell you, in the case of education, you have to make the investment if youre going to get the return. Theres no doubt about that. Its a proven fact the return is there if you make the investment. It really is about priorities.

I dont know how the other senators see me. I hope they see me as a farmer. Thats really what I am. But I dont think they see me on a tractor or fixing equipment. I hope they see me grounded, as somebody who has common sense.

I didnt get this physique by not eating tacos.

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

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.
