In Montana, we value conservation. We have a strong tradition of recreating on our public lands. Our farmers and ranchers use clean water to make a living and to feed the world. Our renewable energy resources have the potential to create thousands of jobs and help Montana lead the U.S. toward energy freedom.
Our connection to the outdoors is a way of life, and no one fights more for this than Senator Jon Tester. He fights to protect our air, water, and land and does it by investing in our people and infrastructure, fueling Montana’s clean energy economy.
In a state that boasts some of the most beautiful National Parks, forests, rivers, and wildlife in the world, Montanans know firsthand just how important it is to protect and conserve our outdoor spaces for future generations.
Senator Tester understands the critical role Montana’s environment plays in our businesses and lives and fights for policies that protect recreational activities, economic viability, and our ability to access clean, affordable energy.
With record visitation to our parks and increased pressure on our public lands and waters, we need Senator Tester to continue championing access to public lands, climate infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. We need to support Senator Tester as he helps to ensure a sustainable environment for all Montanans by making bold public investments in clean energy, rural infrastructure, and millions of good-paying jobs.
The Inflation Reduction Act is the most significant investment in rural America in generations. This legislation was made possible by Senator Tester and will strengthen Montana’s energy security while helping Montanans and our businesses build for a resilient future. It will lower energy costs for households and businesses, create local manufacturing jobs, and deliver a clean, secure, and healthy future for generations to come.
Here’s more on how Senator Tester’s policies are helping Montanans now and in the future:
Hundreds of thousands of working Montanans are eligible for rebates.
As a farmer, Senator Tester has seen the affects of climate change first hand saying, "Those of us who work the land know when the weather is screwy. We can feel the climate changing under our hands and in our bones" (Grounded, 2020, Senator Jon Tester, 118).
Infrastructure is too often overlooked and underfunded. However, Senator Tester worked across the aisle to make important investments to improve our communities. His historic bipartisan deal secured the funding the Treasure State needs for a brighter future.
From funding for school buses, water systems, and a secure energy grid, this legislation invests in our future.
Veterans are a vital part of every community in Montana and deserve to have someone watching out for them. Since being elected to the Senate, Senator Tester has done just that. As chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Senator Tester shepherded and ensured passage of bipartisan legislation to deliver multiple generations of toxic-exposed veterans their earned health care and benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Senator Jon Tester is getting it done. When it comes to conservation, Senator Tester not only talks the talk, he also walks the walk.
Just look at what he’s been able to accomplish during his tenure in office. And from the look of things, he’s far from done.
Senator Tester crafted and introduced the Blackfoot Clearwater Stewardship Act in collaboration with Montana ranchers, loggers, mountain bikers, snowmobilers, and business owners. This made-in-Montana bill protects thousands of acres of public land, ensures future generations can access outdoor recreational opportunities, and strengthens Montana's outdoor economy. Senator Tester’s continued support of the bill, introduced for the third time this spring, shows his commitment to public lands restoration and recreation in Montana—something that our state’s economy depends on.
Senator Tester’s bipartisan Yellowstone Gateway Protection Act was signed into law, protecting the doorstep of the nation’s first National Park and 30,000 acres of public land from industrial mining.
Senator Tester recently reintroduced the Montana Headwaters Legacy Act, legislation that will protect 377 miles of rivers in the Custer-Gallatin and Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forests — the most significant wild and scenic designation in nearly 45 years. These rivers, including the Gallatin, Madison, and Smith are huge drivers of recreational activities in the state.
Senator Tester also successfully led the bipartisan Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act and the North Fork Protection Act, which ensure these treasured places can be enjoyed for future generations.
Senator Tester was also a major champion of the Great American Outdoors Act, which provided full and permanent funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund -- a program that allocates offshore oil and gas development revenue to safeguard public lands and provide recreation opportunities for all. The bill was signed into law last August, in large part due to the continued support of lawmakers like Senator Tester.
Land conservation is a lengthy process that requires a lot of moving parts—especially when it comes to passing legislation. Senator Tester fights every day for our natural systems and working lands. This will create jobs, reduce carbon, increase our community resilience, and preserve our public lands, forests, water, and wildlife for future generations.
Moving forward, Congress needs to make the necessary investments to put us on the path to energy freedom. By making impactful public investments in renewable energy, we can provide cheaper energy to Montanans and create millions of good-paying jobs.
