In case you missed it, TRCP gave Montana Senator Steve Daines the James D. Range Conservation Award for his commitment to “bipartisan conservation solutions.” We could give you a laundry list of reasons why Daines doesn’t deserve any sort of conservation award, but we’ll let Chris Saeger take the lead.
Providing cover to an extremist like Sen. Daines runs counter to the values of civility and decency our democracy needs to work. If TRCP wants to claim to operate on these principles credibly, it should employ a higher ethical standard when choosing politicians to support.
