U.S. Senator Steve Daines of Montana addressed several issues on January 8, 2026, through a series of posts on his social media account, focusing on homeownership, public service, and military readiness.
In a post at 17:20 UTC, Daines emphasized the importance of housing accessibility for Montanans. He stated, “Homeownership is a critical part of the American dream, and I look forward to working with @POTUS to deliver commonsense solutions that will allow more Montanans to realize the dream of owning their own home.”
Later that day at 19:57 UTC, Daines highlighted his office’s guiding principle regarding public service. He wrote, “Elected officials are not here to be served- we’re here to serve. That’s one of the main operating principles of my office and something that guides me & my staff as we serve the people of Montana.”
At 21:32 UTC, Daines provided an update on efforts related to Montana’s Air National Guard. He posted, “Today I sent a letter w/@TimSheehyMT, @RepRyanZinke & @RepTroyDowning to the @usairforce requesting an update on aircraft delivery delays to the MT Air National Guard. Read it below:”
