Calling all anglers, hunters and public land users!! For the past 16 years, Montana has had Democratic governors who protected us by vetoing legislation that would have done irreparable harm to our ability to fish, hunt and recreate on public land. Since it is highly likely that the Republicans will again have the majority in […]
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed today by so many things, including our national politics. But we can make a positive change for our state in the upcoming election, by voting for Tom Woods for the Public Service Commission. The PSC is charged with regulating Northwestern Energy, and so is instrumental in determining Montana’s energy future, […]
On Nov. 3, I’ll be voting for Ed Stafman, House District 62. He is fair, level-headed and cares deeply about Montana communities. I’ve seen his work in Bozeman over the years and find him to be incredibly good at networking with people who come from vastly different perspectives. He is a bridge builder. He cares […]
Even before COVID-19 arrived in Montana, Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney was working with Gov. Bullock and medical experts to develop a strategy to protect Montanans. As a result, we are better off than many other states. This is the kind of experience that distinguishes Cooney from his opponent in the governor’s race, Greg Gianforte. Cooney […]
Montana voters have a proud history of voting the issues rather than party lines. The HD67 race is no exception. For starters, I encourage HD67 voters to read why in 2018 Jed Hinkle lost to Pat Flowers (SD32). Jed’s voting record from 2015-2017 is relevant to the current race. Here are examples of that record. […]
I am regularly reminded of the great need for effective leadership at every level of government. One important race that merits our attention is clerk of district court. The democratic candidate is a long-time deputy clerk, Sandy Erhardt. While the clerk of district court is not an obvious political position, it is political because Democrats […]
As I view the current crop of Republican candidates for Montana’s major offices the one word that comes to mind is “poodles.” This one word the Britts use so accurately to describe a clueless, gutless self-serving politician owned by another. It is so easy to see a vision of Mr. Gianforte, Mr. Daines, and Mr. […]
Montana women should pay close attention to the governor’s race and in particular Greg Gianforte’s record. Gianforte has a long history of saying and voting in ways that are not supportive to women of all ages. From Gianforte’s undermining health care laws and regulations that protect women for pre-existing conditions, disparaging social security, expressing willingness […]
My name is Tom Woods and for four terms I’ve had the honor to serve you as one of your state legislators. I call it “The worst job I’ve ever loved.” Due to term limits, I cannot return to this office, but I am running for the Public Service Commission, which is probably the most […]
I have been pheasant and partridge hunting with Kathleen Williams and her fine bird dog, Danni. I have walked door-to-door singing Christmas carols with her. I have sat in the sunshine and listened to her unwavering support for our Second Amendment rights. She understands that conservation and wise use of our natural resources are indeed […]
