Thank you to all the linemen & first responders working tirelessly to restore power and help MTns impacted by the storms.”
At 20:26 UTC, Daines reiterated his support for local teams and travel needs: “Although I’m rooting for @msubobcats_fb tmrw, no matter who wins the game a MT team will be heading to Nashville for the FCS Championship. I let the airlines know we’ll need more flights from MT to Nashville!”
