Tim Sheehy in 2024 MT Senate race

On Abortion: I believe the most precious gift from God is life

As the father of four children, I am proudly Pro-Life. My wife, Carmen, and I couldn't imagine life without our children. I believe the most precious gift from God is life and that we have a responsibility to protect and defend the most vulnerable in our society from our children to our seniors. We have also helped bring the upgraded neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to the Gallatin Valley, showing our commitment to providing critical care to at-risk infants.

On Budget & Economy: Balance the budget and begin to lower our national debt

The spending in Washington is out of control, and the career politicians are doing absolutely nothing to reign in this out-of-control spending. We must balance the budget and begin to lower our national debt. I'm committed to ensuring that politicians who fail to pass a balanced budget don't get paid because our country's economic security should never be jeopardized for the sake of politics.

On Education: It's important to have more choice in our education system

Parents must be at the forefront of their child's education, and it's important that we have more choice in our education system. We need to get politics out of the classroom and end the woke social agenda infecting our schools. Let's focus on the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic. And above all, we need leaders in Washington to stop things like drag queen story time from replacing the Lord's Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance in our classrooms.

On Energy & Oil: Time to make America energy independent and dominant again

It's time to make America energy independent and dominant once again. We can power America's resurgence with the greatest form of energy known to man, our God given natural resources. We are blessed here with abundant coal, minerals, timber and grasslands--let's make sure Montana producers come first. We should be able to responsibly develop those resources here at home to create more high-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and support our communities, all while protecting the environment.

On Environment: Need to stand strong against the radical environmentalists

I have a unique perspective on what the federal government is failing to address when it comes to tackling wildfires--they need to let Montana start managing our federal lands. We also need to stand strong against the radical environmentalists who are suing and shutting down timber projects with frivolous litigation. If we can responsibly manage our forests, we can harvest timber, create high-paying jobs, and reduce the threat of wildfires. Source: 2024 Montana Senate campaign website TimForMT.com Jun 27, 2023

On Environment: We must repeal the new EPA job-killing energy regulations

We must repeal the new EPA job-killing energy regulations and mandates that the Democrats put on our economy that are driving up costs and preventing us from being energy independent--this serves only to embolden our adversaries and makes energy costs soar for hardworking Montanans. We must also take a strong stand against the disastrous socialist Green New Deal that would destroy Montana's economy and jobs and devastate our communities.

On Gun Control: The radical gun control agenda threatens 2d Amendment rights

I will fight back against any attempt by liberal politicians like Joe Biden and Jon Tester from pursuing a radical gun control agenda that threatens our Second Amendment rights. Our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. As a Navy SEAL who fought for our country and to protect our freedoms, this is a fundamental constitutional right that must and will always be protected under my watch.

On Health Care: Government control of health care has made things worse

Our health care system is broken. Because of Obamacare, Montanans face higher premiums year after year. More government control of our health care has only made things worse. Like most Montanans, I believe we need to promote greater transparency, competition, and shopping for services in our health care system. We should be rewarding outcomes and innovation, improving access to care in our rural communities, and most importantly, protecting Montanans with pre-existing conditions.

On Homeland Security: Government must stop overlooking our veteran community

As a veteran and founder of Bridger Aerospace, I have made a commitment to hire hundreds of Montana veterans and put their skill set and experience to work in our mission to fight wildfires and protect our public lands and our communities. The federal government must stop overlooking our veteran community. Montana veterans will have no bigger advocate for them than by electing a fellow veteran to fight for them and fulfill the promise our nation made to them.

On Homeland Security: We need to fund our military and stand strong against China

The politicians in Washington are more concerned with their political careers than securing America's future. They've empowered our adversaries like China, opened our borders, shut down American energy production, and created economic uncertainty. We need to fund our military and stand strong against China, secure our southern border, and once again, make America energy dominant and independent.

On Immigration: Finally put an end to illegal immigration once and for all

What's happening at the southern border is an absolute crisis, and it gets worse each day under the Biden administration and with career politicians like Jon Tester who talk a tough game about border security but aren't getting the job done. The result of an open southern border is more crime and drugs flooding into our country and into our Montana communities. We need to take a strong stand and secure our border, finish the wall, and finally put an end to illegal immigration once and for all.

On Jobs: Dedicated to agriculture community & ranching tradition

I stand in full support of Montana farmers and ranchers and know firsthand the challenges we face with the over consolidation of corporate agriculture, as well as the introduction of foreign entities into the American food system. My wife and I feel very fortunate to be able to expose our four children to the tradition of cattle ranching in Montana on our working cattle ranch. I will be a dedicated advocate for all of us in the agriculture community, of which our family is very proud to be part. Source: 2024 Montana Senate campaign website TimForMT.com Jun 27, 2023

On Principles & Values: Work to build a future where we restore American greatness

Tim is a strong conservative who believes America's best days are ahead. He trusts in the enormous capacity of America's innovation engine to produce, strengthen, and create value. His promise is to fight for every hardworking Montanan and their family, because we all need to work together to build a future where we restore American greatness with a strong economy, low-inflation, and high-paying jobs for all Montanans.

On Principles & Values: Our campaign is about service, God, and country

[Announcing his Senate bid]: "I'm Tim Sheehy. Whether it was in war or business, I see problems and solve them. America needs conservative leaders who love our country, and that's why I'm running for the United States Senate," Sheehy said in his launch video. "I want to create a better future for my kids and your children and grandchildren. Our campaign is about service, God, and country, not politics as usual," he added.

On Social Security: Will fight to preserve benefits seniors have earned

We must keep our commitment to every Montana senior to protect their Social Security and Medicare benefits. Our nation made a promise to our seniors, and I will fight each and every day to honor that promise and preserve the benefits they've earned. Source: 2024 Montana Senate campaign website TimForMT.com Jun 27, 2023

On Tax Reform: High time to provide tax relief to military retirement pay

We are the greatest country in the world and our veterans should be treated with dignity, respect and a fair tax environment. They do not need charity or handouts, but they should not be penalized by an outdated tax code. Dozens of other states provide tax relief to military retirement pay, it's high time for Montana to catch up so we can retain this talented and motivated workforce. This tax cut will make Montana's business environment more competitive and enticing to veterans nationwide. Source: Independent Record on 2024 Montana Senate race Apr 4, 2023

On Abortion: Proudly pro-life: don't murder our unborn children

Abortion: Ban or legal?

Tim Sheehy (R): Ban. "I am proudly pro-life." Democrats seem "to be bent on murdering our unborn children." Supports a ban from "when a baby can feel pain." "Any further limits must be left to each state." Supports IVF.

Jon Tester (D): Legal. "The woman and her family" should decide, consulting "with her minister and her doctor." Opposed an abortion ban at 20 weeks. Sponsored a bill to protect abortion rights nationally.
