Rehberg Votes Against Bipartisan Plan to Delist Wolves

Millionaire Congressman rejects responsible solution to Montana’s wolf challenges, federal budget

Helena, MT -- Montana Democratic Party Executive Director Ted Dick released the following statement today in response to Congressman’s vote against a bipartisan budget agreement, which included a provision pushed by Montana Senators Jon Tester and Max Baucus to remove wolves from the Endangered Species List and return their management to the State of Montana:

    “Today Congressman Rehberg showed us yet again that he is more interested in saving his own skin than voting to do what's best for Montana.  Instead of making responsible decisions and working together to get things done, he would rather be a part of the partisan political insanity that has consumed his ability to do anything effective.  Montanans don't need another extremist politician screwing things up for them.  We all deserve better."
