I encourage all voters in Montana House District 62 to vote for Ed Stafman in the upcoming election. In a time when our community is facing the multiple impacts of COVID-19, a disrupted business environment, continued population growth, and climate impacts such as wildfires, we need elected officials who can identify common interests and support […]
The Public Service Commissioner (PSC) race is often overlooked. That’s unfortunate, because this agency has a huge effect on our pocketbooks and an even larger effect on our energy future. I’m disappointed by our current commissioners. High profile fights and not showing up for work are just one big distraction from the bigger problem: Our […]
The president is decrying violence in our streets. He is also encouraging it. He can’t have it both ways. Instead of addressing the underlying cause of the protests, his reelection strategy is to scare voters into believing the violence occurring on his watch will somehow be worse under President Biden. Meanwhile, he throws gasoline on […]
According to The Atlantic magazine, as confirmed by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin, Donald Trump says those of us who served and died serving in the United States military are “suckers” and “losers.” I served. On behalf of all who have died while serving: I will […]

Graybill defended the Habitat Montana program from extremists on the Land Board and won a landmark case protecting public access and the property rights of landowners. And Graybill recently released his plan for public lands and public access, focused on working […]
Cooney only candidate who will put Montana first It’s been a while ago but Greg Gianforte is on tape advocating for a sales tax as “the ideal solution.” He also quipped that the best tax is one you have to pay and he doesn’t. Gianforte would like us to forget those things, and while they […]
Gallatin Valley anticipates explosive growth over the next decade. Our public education system, university and public infrastructures will all face enormous stress compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts on our everyday lives. Additionally, Montanans’ access to healthcare coverage, affordable housing, basic public services, and jobs paying living wages are critical concerns that must be addressed […]
Anti-Bullock ‘Hanoi Jane’ TV ad a stretch, at best A currently televised “anti-Bullock-for Senate” ad contains a Vietnam War veteran (thank You for your service, sir) suggesting that he cannot support Steve Bullock, as “Hanoi Jane(Fonda)” has donated to Gov. Bullock’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. “Hanoi Jane” embarked on her visit to North Vietnam […]
