Strategy
Travel
Any person wishing to meet with Senator Baucus is invited to coffee every Wednesday morning when the Senate is in Session. (http://www.baucus.senate.gov/?p=coffee) This casual meeting allows the average person to meet the senator and to express their concerns. Apart from traveling to D.C. to visit with Baucus, his constituents may catch him at one of his “Work Days.” These are days that Baucus works alongside his constituents at their respective jobs to better understand their lives and situations. (http://www.baucus.senate.gov/?p=max_in_montana) (Although there are rumors circulating that Baucus has not held an actual work day for over three years. Baucus recently traveled back to Missoula Montana to reauthorize the federal Violence Against Women Act at the YMCA on Tuesday Feb. 19th. He has also been busy nominating judges for the Montana Court to President Obama, introducing new bills in D.C. that I have listed below, and making plans to build a new home in Bozeman Montana.

Press

Baucus’s
official website, http://www.baucus.senate.gov/?p=newsroom,

The most recent press release explains how Baucus and his Senatorial
partner Democratic Senator John Tester as well as Montana’s House
Representative Steve Daines are fighting to increase Montanan’s access to
high-speed internet in order to spur economic development and create jobs. The trio also suggests that an increase in
available broadband networks will allow people in Montana to further their
education with online classes and increase their access to health care.
