Big news: Last week, the Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act. This is a long overdue victory for our Vietnam Vets, including many in Montana, living with the effects of Agent Orange exposure. We’ve put this bill on the President's desk, now he needs to sign it into law. READ MORE: sen.gov/JL9O | Senator Jon Tester

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Dave Belcher, a dear friend and veteran who lost the battle to his unseen wounds of war. I spoke about him on the Senate floor today, and sent a message to all veterans and Americans struggling: Get help. Dial 988. These tools save lives. | Senator Jon Tester

The current system needs to be fixed and that’s only going to happen if Republicans and Democrats sit down and work together on solutions that lower the cost of health care for everyone. I have brought some real health care improvement bills to the table, and I’m committed to finding more solutions, but I cannot and will not vote for anything that raises costs, kicks people off their health plans, and closes rural hospitals. https://sen.gov/PPNV | Senator Jon Tester

I’m incredibly disappointed by the obstructionism that prevented our bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act from passing the Senate tonight. Republicans and Democrats have worked in good faith to move this bill forward—with plenty of opportunities for debate along the way. This eleventh-hour attempt to block the bill is a thumb in the eye to millions of Vietnam veterans and service members. But I won’t stop fighting for the Vietnam veterans who are counting on this bill to pass before t

From health care to dark money in campaigns, Montanans aren't afraid to let me know how they feel about the issues that affect them every day. My public Town Halls give folks a great opportunity to ask questions and hold me accountable. Thanks again to everybody that came out to Butte on Friday.

Drain the Swamp, take out the trash, clean the grain bins—it doesn’t matter how you say it, folks are sick of business as usual in Washington. That’s why, as soon as the new Congress convenes in January, I plan to introduce the Cleaning Up Washington’s Act. This legislation will enforce President-elect Trump’s proposed five year lobbying ban on members of Congress and certain members of the Executive branch.

I can’t support the Senate bill as it stands today because adding over a trillion dollars to the deficit is irresponsible to future generations. It is my hope that we can work together on a bipartisan solution that prioritizes hard-working Montanans, provides relief to small businesses, and doesn’t saddle our kids and grandkids with more crushing debt. | Senator Jon Tester
