This week on Downing Dispatch: passing the SECURE America Act, cutting red tape for tribal businesses, improving disaster recovery, and meeting with Montana students.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure Montana’s voice is heard loud and clear in Washington.

Clean drinking water should not take decades to deliver.
My bill extending authorization for the Fort Peck Reservation Rural Water System through 2028 passed the House last week, helping finish the final phases of a project that serves tribal and non-tribal communities in northeastern Montana.

Great meeting with the Billings Chamber of Commerce this week to discuss the issues impacting local businesses and Montana’s economy.
Billings is a major driver of growth in our state, and I’ll keep working to support the businesses that help our communities thrive.

New World screwworm is a serious threat to America’s cattle industry.
Montana beef is the best in the world, and we cannot wait until this threat reaches our state to take it seriously.
I joined @NEWSMAX to discuss why the USDA must act quickly and keep ranchers informed.

Montana consumers deserve advocates closer to home. That's why I'm supporting Congressman Downing's PARTNERS Act.
States like Montana are ready to help our federal partners oversee Medicare Advantage and improve accountability for the program.

Montana seniors deserve accountability when it comes to Medicare Advantage.
Proud to have @BrownCSIMT join me in making the case for my PARTNERS Act, legislation to give states the tools to enforce existing federal standards and protect consumers closer to home.

.@HouseGOP passed the SECURE America Act to fully fund ICE and CBP, strengthen our borders, and support the law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe.
Now, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and keep working to deliver on Reconciliation 3.0, bolster national security, tackle fraud, and put America first.

Thanks to my good friend @RepTimBurchett for the quick hands.
Official Congressional Baseball Game score prediction: 14 runs on the board for the Republicans.
Dems? We’ll see.

The For Country Caucus met with Michael Peterson, Chairman and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, to discuss the growing national debt and its implications for our national security.
Fiscal responsibility is not just an economic concern. It’sa national security imperative.

Today in the @FinancialCmte, I questioned witnesses on how to make federal disaster recovery faster, simpler, and more accountable.
Victims of natural disasters deserve assistance that is easy to navigate, not duplicative programs, added bureaucracy, and unnecessary delays.
Watch my questions below ⬇️
WATCH: @RepTroyDowning on HUD’s role in disaster aid:
“Victims of natural disasters, they expect the deployment of federal assistance to be as seamless as possible, with guardrails as appropriate. And like most federal programs, there are inefficiencies that need to be addressed with how the federal government handles disaster recovery. However, some in Congress have taken this to mean that we must make permanent a new program entirely. One of which has already been shown to be an inefficient complement to traditional disaster aid.”

Happy to meet with Montana members of the National Association of Home Builders to discuss expanding housing opportunities, cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens, and supporting the workforce needed to meet growing demand across our state.

Always great meeting the future leaders of Montana.
I had a thoughtful conversation with Little Bighorn College students and left encouraged by the bright future ahead for our state.
