On February 19, 2026, Downing posted about supporting small businesses: “Small businesses are the heart of Montana and nowhere is that more apparent than at family-owned Marks-Miller Post & Pole. I stopped by to discuss the challenges facing small businesses across the Treasure State and the ways I can be their advocate in Washington.”
