- "Let me tell you what I would support as a United States senator. A reasonable law that would restrict any state from making a law stopping a woman from getting an abortion in the first three months. Birth control should be safe and legal. If DNA testing proves the child is not viable up to the second trimester and two doctors are willing to sign off on that, a woman should have a right to terminate that pregnancy." (www.mikeformt.com)

- "I propose a balanced budget amendment be brought forward immediately for the consideration of the states to ratify. It will take a minimum of five years to cut the spending, and obligations enough to balance our budget." (www.mikeformt.com)
- "The last president to abide by this law was George W. Bush. This brings us to why we have $30 trillion of debt created in the last 20 years. It's called continuing resolutions; we never look at what needs to be cut from the budget, we just add more money to the existing budget year after year after year. If this is allowed to continue, it will collapse the entire worldâs financial system. There is not one rational person that could look at this problem and come to the conclusion that their children's future is safe." (www.mikeformt.com)

- "We have wasted billions of dollars on voting machines over the past decades, and we still do not have an uncorruptible voting system. We already require the real ID or a passport before you can fly on a plane, or to gain access to a federal building. Right behind immigration reform, this will be one of the very first things I work on as a member of the senate. That, you have my word on. With over 20 million unidentified illegal immigrants and asylum seekers wandering about our country not knowing who they are or what their intentions are, I would not think this is an unreasonable requirement for an American citizen. Remember we do not have to like it, but this is the world we now live in because of what has taken place. Now we just have to deal with it and clean it up." (www.mikeformt.com)

- "As of February 2024, Jon Tester proudly stood in front of a camera and proclaimed that it is the Republicans fault because they won't vote for the bill to put forward to give the president the power and control over the border, he needs to control the situation. This is simply a lie, there's no other way to say it. President Biden signed over 90 executive orders changing what President Trump had put in place to control the southern border. Therefore, President Biden has executive authority to fix the problem without another new law. I think you owe the people of Montana and our country an explanation, Jon. Why do you think it's so important to you personally to support 8 million people flooding across our southern border in the last three years? You've been silent till now. The bill that you labeled as an immigration bill, also had more than $100 billion neatly tucked away in the backside of it for killing more people in Ukraine and Israel." (www.mikeformt.com)
- "Under President Trump the border encounters were 500 a day or less. People living in cities that have declared themselves sanctuary cities were not impacted. Now that President Biden has reversed the policies and made it known worldwide, it's not uncommon to see 12 to 15,000 people a day cross the southern border. They are overwhelming all of the systems in our country." (www.mikeformt.com)
