Congressman Troy Downing has recently used his social media platform to highlight a range of issues, from energy innovation in Montana to concerns about federal investigations and legislative delays affecting Native American housing. Downing’s posts reflect ongoing policy discussions at both state and national levels.
On December 4, 2025, Downing emphasized Montana’s role in advancing renewable energy technologies, stating: “Montana is leading the way in energy innovation! Great meeting with Todd Borgman and Bruce Fleming of Calumet and Montana Renewables to discuss biofuel feedstocks, sustainable aviation fuels, and other solutions holding the promise to power America forward https://t.co/Tel4Iocee1”
The following day, he questioned the pace of a high-profile federal investigation. On December 5, 2025, he wrote: “Intentional? Incompetence? Both? What we do know is that @FBI and @TheJusticeDept found the ‘21 pipe bomber with no new data and good old fashioned police work after 4 years of foot dragging from the Biden Admin. More from me on @NEWSMAX https://t.co/kRMuIjrnNm”
Later that same day, Downing addressed delays in reauthorizing legislation critical for tribal housing. He posted: “NAHASDA expired years ago. Montana’s tribes have been waiting over a decade for Congress to act—this is unacceptable. It’s time to reauthorize and modernize it. https://t.co/78aLxwfgsF” The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) was originally enacted in 1996 to provide federal support for affordable housing programs serving Native American communities.
Montana has become increasingly active in promoting renewable energy initiatives through public-private partnerships focused on biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel production. Meanwhile, the expiration of NAHASDA has left many tribal communities without updated federal resources for more than ten years as Congress debates its renewal.
