Tim Sheehy - U.S. Senate

Tim Sheehy is an American Navy SEAL and hero, not to mention our Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate.  Sheehy takes a hard stand against the Democrat policies to fundamentally transform America into a Socialist/Marxist country under the authoritarian control of the Biden/Harris administration.

Tim Sheehy is a father, husband, combat veteran, a patriot, and an entrepreneur. He completed several deployments and hundreds of missions as a Navy SEAL Officer and Team Leader, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, South America, and the Pacific region. Sheehy was involved in dozens of engagements with enemy forces, earning him multiple combat decorations, including the Bronze Star with Valor for Heroism in Combat and the Purple Heart Medal.

A graduate of the Naval Academy class of 2008, he was the first Midshipman to participate in the U.S. Army Special Operations exchange program and the first to graduate from the elite U.S. Army Ranger School. Immediately after graduation, Sheehy was commissioned into the U.S. Navy and completed SEAL training.

Sheehy met his wife, Carmen, who served as a US Marine Corps Officer at the US Naval Academy. After being wounded in combat, Tim and Carmen left the military and chose to make Montana home to raise their family. They teach their four children to ranch on their 20,000-acre cattle ranch, where they raise, feed, and process cattle to help develop America’s food supply chain.

In late 2014, Sheehy founded Bridger Aerospace in his barn with all his savings and an all-veteran team. He led the growth of Bridger Aerospace and its sister company, Ascent Vision Technologies, and eventually took Bridger Aerospace public on the NASDAQ in 2023. Today, Bridger Aerospace is a major Montana employer, having created over 200 Montana jobs, and is one of only a few publicly traded companies in Montana. In addition to founding Bridger, Sheehy is an active firefighting pilot and has completed hundreds of firefighting missions across the American West, protecting our communities from devastation as a pilot of the CL415EAF Water Bomber. 

Tim and his wife, Carmen, also believe strongly in giving back to the community that helped them succeed by supporting many Montana charities. The most important projects that they support include improving rural healthcare by providing the funding to bring specialty trauma and pediatric healthcare services to our area for the first time and building a library and playground for underserved communities. In total, the Sheehy’s have donated over six million to charities across the state.

Tim Sheehy will secure our border, finish the wall, and put an end to illegal immigration once and for all.

He will end out-of-control spending and the disastrous economic policies that are crushing Montana families and small businesses. 

He will make America energy independent and dominant once again by responsibly developing resources here at home to create more high-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and support our communities, all while protecting the environment.

Sheehy will protect our fundamental constitutional right to keep and bear arms, which shall not be infringed.

He will rein in out-of-control spending, balance the budget, and begin to lower our national debt.

Sheehy will work to preserve and expand access to our public lands. 

Tim is a dedicated advocate for the agriculture community and fully supports Montana farmers and ranchers.  Along with his fellow Navy SEAL, he founded Little Belt Cattle Company to keep high-quality Montana beef in Montana. They forged a vertically integrated beef supply chain where they raise, finish, and process premium beef 100% in Montana.

As a veteran and founder of Bridger Aerospace, Tim has hired hundreds of Montana veterans and used their skills and experience in his mission to fight wildfires, protect our public lands, and protect our communities. When it comes to healthcare, Montana veterans will have no bigger advocate for them than Tim Sheehy.

Because of Obamacare and the Biden/Harris "Medicare for all" proposal, Montanans face higher premiums and limited access to qualified doctors and health care plans. Tim will promote greater transparency, competition, and shopping for services in our health care system, particularly in our rural communities, and most importantly, protecting Montanans with pre-existing conditions.

Jon Tester supports elective abortion on demand up until the moment of birth.  Tim and his wife Carmen are proudly pro-life.

Sheehy believes we must keep our commitment to every Montana senior to protect their Social Security and Medicare benefits. "Our nation made a promise to our seniors, and I will fight each and every day to honor that promise and preserve the benefits they’ve earned."

Tim believes that parents must be at the forefront of their child’s education, and that it’s important that we have more choice in our education system so parents and kids can find the best solution that fits their unique individual learning needs. Tim wants to get politics out of the classroom and end the woke social agenda infecting our schools.  "Let's teach kids how to think - not what to think."  "Let's focus on the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic."

Tim and his wife Carmen started a Montana business and built one of the largest aerial firefighting companies in America, creating 200 Montana jobs. He has a unique perspective on what the federal government is failing to address when it comes to tackling wildfires—they need to let Montana start managing our federal lands. 

Tim stands strong against the radical environmentalists who are suing and shutting down timber projects with frivolous litigation. If we can responsibly manage our forests, we can harvest timber, create high-paying jobs, and reduce the threat of wildfires.
