serving MONTANANS

Open & civil debate, abundant & affordable energy, robust & resilient infrastructure, and quality education for all promote personal and economic Freedom. 

Focused on people over politics.

Grounded by a rural ranch upbringing and having served around the world in countries both rich and poor, stable and ripped apart by conflict, I know that we are extremely blessed. Montanans have the resources, ingenuity, work ethic and grit to conquer any challenge put before us if we work together, without arbitrary government constraints, and honor the institutions and traditions that got us here.

It is my honor to serve the Citizens of this District and the State.

EDUCATION IS INTEGRAL

TO DEMOCRACY

“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” ~ Thomas Jefferson ~ I support school choice and alternative pathways, like vocational education, with judgment based on a single criterion – student outcomes.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

FOR MONTANANS

Reduce red tape, restrictive zoning and frivolous lawsuits to increase the reliability and affordability of energy & free market housing. Protect water rights & rural healthcare. Streamline disaster recovery. Address cyber threats & AI regulation to protect citizens and businesses.

Taxes

We must reform Montana’s Tax Code to reduce the reliance and burden on residential property taxes. Address spending, at all levels, the tax shifts created by the loss of natural resource extraction, and the significant increase in out-of-state home ownership.

Integrity & Transparency

Continue to improve voter registration & voting systems to ensure integrity while acknowledging that there is no evidence of significant election fraud in Montana. Address both fraud & unsubstantiated allegations to restore trust.

Economic Development

Provide a stable regulatory and tax structure to attract and grow a vibrant agriculture and business community that makes it possible for our kids to earn a living and raise their own families in Montana.

Public Safety

Address the violence, drugs and mental heath challenges in our communities. Address the lack of a pre-trial confinement facility in the District & staffing & facility issues at the Deer Lodge State Prison and Warm Springs State Hospital.
