A
lot
has
been
happening
in
Washington
the
past
few
weeks
so
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
some
of
the
progress.
Last
week,
Congress
voted
for
a
temporary
budget
to
keep
the
government
funded
through
December
10th.
While
the
budget
bill
was
far
from
perfect,
it
kept
the
government
operating
for
the
people
of
Montana.
In
the
coming
weeks,
I'll
be
working
with
anyone
who
is
willing
to
work
with
me
in
order
to
cut
spending,
reduce
the
debt
and
deficit,
ensure
a
strong
national
defense,
and
get
government
out
of
your
personal
and
private
lives.
The
House
also
passed
the
2016
defense
budget,
also
known
as
the
NDAA.
In
addition
to
a
pay
raise
for
our
troops
and
childcare
for
military
moms
and
dads,
this
year’s
defense
budget
also
includes
important
pieces
for
Montana,
like
bolstering
the
mission
at
Malmstrom
with
the
Tactical
Response
Force
Alert
Facility
and
updating
our
nuclear
capabilities.
I’m
also
very
happy
to
see
my
provision,
the
SEMPER
FI
Act,
was
included
to
address
the
security
vulnerabilities
at
military
recruitment
centers
so
the
tragedy
that
happened
in
Chattanooga,
Tennessee,
is
never
repeated.
As
your
Representative
in
the
House,
staying
accountable
to
you
is
a
top
priority
of
mine.
That's
why
I'm
hitting
the
road
the
week
of
October
12th
and
stopping
in
Browning,
Cut
Bank,
Shelby,
Chester,
Glasgow,
Culbertson,
Bainville,
Sidney,
Glendive,
Miles
City,
Baker
and
Colstrip.
I'll
travel
more
than
1,000
miles
and host
11
public
events
along
the
way.
I'd
love
to
see
you
there
and
hear
about
your
concerns
and
ideas
about
how
to
make
Washington
better
work
for
you. Contact
my
Billings
office
at
