Daines made the following remarks on the Senate floor: I rise today in recognition of Jean Turnage, former Montana Supreme Court Chief Justice and State Senate President who passed away earlier this week. Chief Justice Turnage was a true public servant who always put Montana and this nation first. He is remembered as a fair and tolerant judge, and a truegentleman legislator. As both a legislator and judge he had a genius forsolving conflicts and bridging differences a quality that is far too rare in public service. Chief Justice Turnage was part of a dying breed of the greatest generation and was a true statesmen. As a World War II veteran, a state legislator and Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court, Justice Turnage truly exemplified our state's strong legacy of service. His passing is a great loss for Montana. On behalf of all Montanans, I want to recognize Jean for his decades of service to Montana and to this nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Turnage family during this time of loss. ### Print Email Tweet Previous Article Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
