Zinke Votes to Pass the Big Beautiful Bill, Delivering Big, Beautiful Wins for Montana
Fulfills Promises on Tax Relief, Border Security, Public Lands
Washington, D.C. – Today, Western Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke voted to pass the Budget Reconciliation Bill, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a historic win for Montana families, small businesses, and the America First agenda. The legislation delivers on key campaign promises to make life affordable, cut taxes, secure the border, and strengthen essential services; all while protecting public lands. Congressman Zinke successfully led the effort to remove the public land sales provision from the House version of the bill before voting for final passage. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
“Montanans are struggling to pay their bills, our borders were wide open, and the essential services our citizens rely on were failing,” said Zinke. “Montanans asked for change last November, and today we delivered. This is a win for hardworking Montanans and a win for the country. The bill puts Americans first, delivers real tax relief, secures the border, and protects our public lands from being sold off to the highest bidder. I was never going to back down when it came to public land sales and I’m never going to give up the fight to deliver for Montana. Today we won, and I look forward to the President signing this historic legislation into law.”
