Press Release

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Troy Downing (MT-02) released a statement following passage of Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill. The bill is now eligible to be signed into law by the President in a historic victory for America and the people of Montana.

“The One Big Beautiful Bill is a big win for Big Sky Country,” said Congressman Downing. “Americans sent a Republican Congress and Republican President to Washington with a mandate. Today, House Republicans honored that mandate by passing a bill that delivers historic tax relief, unleashes American energy, supports our farmers and ranchers, secures our borders, modernizes our military, strengthens critical programs, protects our public lands, and so much more. I was proud to champion this historic legislation and look forward to watching as these policies Make America Great Again.”
