Overview
Tim Sheehy is a first-term Republican Senator from Montana who took office in January 2025. With only 38 votes on record, he is still establishing his legislative profile, but his early voting pattern indicates consistent conservative positions. His voting activity has been concentrated in healthcare-related matters, where he has voted 'yea' on 45% of measures. This suggests some selectivity in his approach to healthcare legislation rather than blanket opposition or support. On social security matters, he has shown strong support with 100% 'yea' votes, though this is based on a small sample of just two votes. On defense matters, his record shows 0% 'yea' votes on the two recorded votes, which may reflect opposition to specific provisions rather than an overall defense policy stance, given that many conservatives typically support defense measures. His environment and energy votes show 67% support, and agriculture votes show 33% support.
