Visitors Guide to Montana Coffee

Every Wednesday morning when the Senate is in session, Senator Tester, Congressman Daines, and myself gather for coffee and conversation with Montanans.  We greatly enjoy meeting with folks from back home who are in the area, and this is a great opportunity for you to meet with us and have a photo taken.  If you have time, there is a tour of the Capitol after coffee is finished.  You can find more information about upcoming Montana Coffees on the Montana Coffee with Senators Baucus, Senator Tester, and Congressman Daines page.

When you must request this by:  The Monday prior to the Montana Coffee you wish to attend.  More information on upcoming Montana Coffees is available on the Montana Coffee page.
