Sheehy: Jobs Report Signals American Economic Re-Investment, Supply Chain Resilience Crucial for National Security

WASHINGTON - February 12th, 2026 - Montana Senate candidate Tim Sheehy delivered a strong statement on the latest U.S. jobs report, asserting it demonstrates a positive trend of American businesses reinvesting in domestic job creation and the overall American economy. Speaking to reporters today, Sheehy characterized the figures as a clear indicator that policies fostering a favorable business environment are yielding results.

"We're seeing American businesses reinvesting in America, and creating jobs in America. These numbers are a testament to that," Sheehy stated. He emphasized the importance of a thriving domestic job market, not only for economic prosperity but also for national security.

Sheehy's comments come at a critical juncture, two years after a significant push to onshore manufacturing and critical supply chains began gaining momentum. The 2024 Supply Chain Resiliency Act, spurred by global disruptions experienced in prior years, offered substantial tax incentives and regulatory relief to companies relocating production back to the United States. While initial results were modest, recent economic data - including the jobs numbers cited by Sheehy - suggest a more pronounced impact is now being felt.

"The best way to grow our economy," Sheehy explained, "is to allow American businesses to operate without regulatory overreach and burdensome tax policies." He directly contrasted this approach with what he described as the Biden administration's policies, which he alleges have hindered economic growth. "We need to bring back America's standing in the world as the number one economy. The Biden administration has done nothing but hinder that. We need to roll back those policies, cut taxes, and reduce regulations to incentivize businesses to invest in American workers and American jobs."

The candidate's critique aligns with a growing chorus of calls from industry leaders for a more streamlined regulatory process and a more competitive tax code. The debate centers on striking a balance between environmental protection, worker safety, and fostering innovation and economic growth. Critics of the current administration point to increasing compliance costs and what they describe as "duplicative" regulations as significant impediments to business expansion.

However, supporters of the existing framework argue that such regulations are essential for protecting the environment, ensuring worker rights, and preventing corporate abuse. They contend that a race to the bottom in terms of regulations could have detrimental long-term consequences.

Beyond economic growth, Sheehy highlighted the critical link between a robust domestic industrial base and national security. His comments reflect a growing bipartisan concern over the United States' reliance on foreign supply chains, particularly from adversarial nations. This concern intensified following disruptions caused by geopolitical instability and the COVID-19 pandemic.

"America will not be secure if she is reliant on foreign supply chains," Sheehy warned. "We have to be sure that when we need something, that we can get it, and we can't depend on adversarial nations to make sure we have it." This sentiment echoes recommendations from a recent report by the National Security Council, which advocated for diversifying supply chains and increasing domestic production of critical goods, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and rare earth minerals.

The report specifically warned of the risks associated with concentrating production in a single country or region, noting that such concentration creates vulnerabilities to disruptions caused by natural disasters, political instability, or deliberate acts of sabotage. Several initiatives, including the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, have been implemented to address these vulnerabilities, but progress has been slow.

Sheehy's focus on these issues positions him as a candidate keenly aware of the interconnectedness of economic policy and national security. As he prepares to challenge incumbent Senator Jon Tester, Sheehy aims to present himself as a pragmatic voice advocating for policies that strengthen both the American economy and its global standing. The race is expected to be closely contested, with both candidates vying to appeal to Montana voters concerned about economic opportunity and national security.
