Letter to the editor: Grateful for Zinke’s leadership

We would like to extend our gratitude to Rep. Ryan Zinke and his dedicated staff for their invaluable support during the recent closure of the Noxon Bridge in Sanders County.
Congressman Zinke’s office responded promptly, conducting a site inspection and engaging in a strategic planning session to secure emergency funding.
We greatly appreciate his commitment to ensuring that Sanders County, along with all rural counties in Montana, receives the necessary infrastructure funding. As a member of the Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Transportation, Rep. Zinke has successfully secured millions of dollars in grant funding for rural roads and bridges across Montana, including submitting key projects on behalf of Sanders County and other regions this year.
We are profoundly grateful to Congressman Zinke for his leadership and for addressing the critical challenges we face.

Rep. Ryan Zinke to Newsmax: Blame Biden, Harris for Afghanistan Chaos

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax on Tuesday that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are “absolutely” to blame for the deaths and failures involved in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan despite their attempts to blame former President Donald Trump.

House Republicans on Monday released a report that blames the Biden administration for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, while Democrats responded by blaming the Trump administration for negotiating a peace agreement with the Taliban known as the Doha Accords.

Rep. Zinke to Newsmax: No Accountability on Afghanistan

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax on Monday that the Biden-Harris administration continues to skirt accountability for the deadly and costly withdrawal from Afghanistan three years ago.

In addition to the blood shed by Americans and $7 billion worth of military equipment left behind at Bagram Air Base, Zinke said it led to a scenario where “our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us.”

Rep. Ryan Zinke: Harris-Walz Is ‘Progressive Liberal Ticket’ of Sanctuary Cities and Abandonment

Post Photo

The Harris-Walz ticket is a “progressive liberal ticket” representing sanctuary cities, defunding police, and the policy of “abandonment,” Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

“This ticket is the most progressive liberal ticket. It’s San Francisco and Minneapolis, home of defunding the police, sanctuary cities, and tampons in the boys’ bathrooms, and abandonment,” Zinke, a former Navy SEAL, said, referencing the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

Both Harris and Walz, [he] abandoned his post the moment his unit goes to deploy. He abandons them, and he lies about it. Ironically, there’s so many parallels between Harris and Afghanistan and Walz’s phony record,” Zinke observed.

Congressman Ryan Zinke stopped by NBC Montana Today on Wednesday to talk about homelessness, affordable housing, carbon emissions, energy, border security, and his residency.

On the topic of homelessness Zinke said sanctuary cities were a problem, and that a host of other issues are at play as well.

“Certainly in Montana, with the homelessness issue, there are people who need a hand up, absolutely, but there are also people that are mentally ill, that have checked out, that are on drugs, who choose this lifestyle,” Zinke said.

Rep. Ryan Zinke on Disastrous Afghanistan Withdrawal: Biden-Harris Is Administration of ‘Abandonment’

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have embraced a policy of abandonment, Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), a former Navy SEAL, told Breitbart News Daily after the third anniversary of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal passed, resulting in the loss of 13 troops.

“Yesterday was the anniversary of Abbey Gate, and I was on the phone call with some of the Gold Star families,” he said on Tuesday, noting that tremendous pain remains.

“And they feel like they were lied to. Afghanistan, to me, is abandonment. It was singularly the most catastrophic withdrawal of a U.S. force, and, one can argue, in military history. We lost 13. We could have lost thousands just as easy,” he said, explaining that America also lost the trust of its allies.

Letter to the Editor: A Significant Public Safety Investment

Zinke instrumental in securing funding to upgrade the Flathead Emergency Communication Center’s radio system

We, the Flathead County Board of Commissioners, are extending our deepest gratitude to Congressman Ryan Zinke for his instrumental role in securing $1.3 million in funding to upgrade the Flathead Emergency Communication Center’s radio system. This significant public safety investment, funded through the Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grant program, will provide better coverage and higher quality transmissions for law enforcement and emergency service communications throughout our county.

The upgrade to an 800 MHz system marks a critical advancement in our emergency response capabilities. This system is far superior in its ability to penetrate buildings such as schools, hospitals, airports, and private homes – precisely where dangerous situations may arise. Improved building penetration and better overall coverage will ensure that our law enforcement officers and emergency responders can maintain clear and reliable communication with dispatch and one another, especially when it matters most.

We are incredibly grateful for Congressman Zinke’s support and commitment to ensuring that our community has the tools it needs to stay safe and respond effectively in emergencies. This investment in our communication infrastructure is an investment in the safety and well-being of every resident of Flathead County.

Rep. Zinke to Newsmax: Harris-Walz Is a Socialist Ticket

Post Photo

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Gov. Tim Walz “are socialist, if not communist in some areas.”

With the Democratic National Convention in the rearview mirror, Americans had a chance to hear the policies that Harris would implement if she were to win the presidency in November. One of Harris’ more controversial plans was to implement price controls in an effort to cap the cost of everyday food items.

Zinke said Harris’ speech was evidence that the Democrats “don’t have any policy.”
