Daines’ response to Biden’s Montana oil and gas lease parcels:
“It’s about time. With only one lease sale in Montana since Biden took office, this administration has been skirting the law to the detriment of Montana communities in order to further their anti-American energy agenda. I’m glad to see the Biden administration finally heed my calls to prioritize domestic energy production, strengthen our national security, and reduce costs by holding competitive oil and gas lease sales in Montana.”
“BLM had not offered any parcels of land in Montana for lease sales since June 2022 despite the congressionally mandated quarterly requirement. Daines is the leading voice in the Senate to pressure the Biden administration to stop ignoring the law and hold oil and gas lease sales in Montana,” commented Matt Lloyd and Rachel Dumke from Daines’ D.C. office.
