A Q&A with @RyanZinke on public lands. “Public lands didn't get us in debt and I can tell you public lands isn't going to get us out of debt by selling it,” he said. “We are the envy of the world, and America's best idea is still great.” For the @bozchron bozemandailychronicle.com/news/americas-…
MT Rep. @RyanZinke, invoking his inner Theodore Roosevelt, has been anti-public land sales from the get-go of OBBB discussions while advocating for better management and multi-use. More on this for @bozchron tomorrow.
Senator Lee has withdrawn the sale of public lands provision. The people of Idaho have been clear—we do NOT support the sale of our public lands to the highest bidder. I am proud to help lead the effort to remove this provision from the One Big Beautiful Bill.
I have just concluded productive discussions with leadership. I will be leading an amendment to strip the sale of public lands from this bill. I will vote yes on the motion to proceed. We must quickly pass the Big Beautiful Bill to advance President Trump’s agenda.
The Montana GOP has elected Art Wittich as the new party chaor for the next 2 years. #mtnews #mtpol

I oppose the sale of public lands and will vote no on the motion to proceed if it is included.
