Big news: Last week, the Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act. This is a long overdue victory for our Vietnam Vets, including many in Montana, living with the effects of Agent Orange exposure. We’ve put this bill on the President's desk, now he needs to sign it into law. READ MORE: sen.gov/JL9O | Senator Jon Tester

Finished up with a meeting here at the White House—I made sure President Joe Biden knows that when it comes to additional COVID relief deals, we must keep our veterans front of mind. We've got to ramp up vaccine distribution for vets and VA staff and get relief quickly to those that need it most. I'm going to continue my push for a smart, targeted solution that will ramp up vaccine production and distribution, support hardworking MT families and small businesses, create jobs, and get all of our

Folks in Congress must remember that fulfilling our commitment to our veterans is a cost of war. Unfortunately, this week the Senate voted on a spending bill that underfunds the VA by $850 million. | Senator Jon Tester

The Senate just passed a critical Coronavirus relief package, delivering vital support for Montana workers, veterans, Tribes, and families in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The current system needs to be fixed and that’s only going to happen if Republicans and Democrats sit down and work together on solutions that lower the cost of health care for everyone. I have brought some real health care improvement bills to the table, and I’m committed to finding more solutions, but I cannot and will not vote for anything that raises costs, kicks people off their health plans, and closes rural hospitals. https://sen.gov/PPNV | Senator Jon Tester

I’m incredibly disappointed by the obstructionism that prevented our bipartisan Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act from passing the Senate tonight. Republicans and Democrats have worked in good faith to move this bill forward—with plenty of opportunities for debate along the way. This eleventh-hour attempt to block the bill is a thumb in the eye to millions of Vietnam veterans and service members.
