Hi folks,
I know there is a lot of uncertainty right now with threats of a government shutdown that will jeopardize jobs and hurt our troops and seniors. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers you need. But I can promise you I will keep working no matter what.
I'm committed to making smart cuts to eliminate bureaucratic waste and reduce our debt while preserving rural priorities that Montanans depend on. We need to make tough choices and get serious about reining in our debt. But our tough choices have to be smart choices that restore financial security for working families - not pull the rug out from under them just as our economy is starting to recover. And we certainly can't balance the budget on the backs of our seniors by breaking the promise of Medicare.
A government shutdown should never happen. You send us here to work together to solve problems, not to get in fights. I'm going to continue to do everything I can to bring folks together and work with my colleagues to find a budget solution that puts us back on the path to fiscal responsibility without jeopardizing Montana jobs and communities. No matter what happens, I won't quit working to make that happen.
