As a moderate independent, who values politicians of all affiliations who are willing to work with all, for all, I recommend my good friend and former colleague, Ed Stafman, the Democratic candidate for House District 62, to serve Montana. At interfaith chaplaincy meetings, prayer and project gatherings, as well as, at dinners with our spouses, […]

I am a United States Air Force veteran and continue to serve my country protecting our public lands. I was horrified to learn that Austin Knudsen, who is running for attorney general, is preventing access to a veteran’s park in his hometown of Culbertson. The park is owned by the local American Legion Post and […]

We are so fortunate to have Zach Brown as a candidate for the Gallatin County Commission. His resume and experience are unusual for such a young candidate, and are timely assets to meet the difficulties that are facing local governments. Zach has already served three terms in the Montana Legislature; he chaired the Water Policy […]

Gianforte, Daines will insert religion into politics Daines and Gianforte want to limit access to birth-control and legal abortions setting a dangerous precedent for the insertion of religion and politics into the practice of medicine. Before abortions were legalized in the U.S., an estimated 17% of pregnancy related deaths were due to illegal abortions: wives, […]

I’m supporting Collette Campbell in House District 67 because she will support public education and is a great listener who will represent us well in the Legislature. Collette comes from a solid working class family and is dedicated to fighting for other middle-class families. She has lived those values by working as an early childhood […]

Gianforte’s assault shows he is not right for Helena It would seem if you are thinking of voting for Gianforte for governor, you should consider his assault on a reporter and his trying to remove a public access because it was close to his house. The confrontation with the reporter was on his property and […]

Emily Brosten is a fifth generation Montanan running for House District 68. She is a refreshing voice in these times of political divisiveness. Emily is running for office because she believes that a public servant should represent the will of the people rather than the desire of the political party. As a supporter of the […]

The price of clean energy has fallen below the price of fossil fuels, while also being cleaner and safer. Sounds good, doesn’t it? But you don’t get any say in what type of energy you get or how much you pay. NorthWestern Energy makes that choice for you, and they’ve decided that what’s right for […]

Does anyone else find it odd that Donald Trump, a huge opponent of government health care, a man who pays next to nothing in federal taxes and is all about private sector health care being the best, goes to the hospital for COVID-19 and receives government health care? Rick Winking Bozeman Despotism is unacceptable, threatens […]

I was disappointed, but not surprised, that Steve Daines, Greg Gianforte and Matt Rosendale all refused to meet with the Chronicle editorial board. Daines and Gianforte have consistently been phantom representatives – refusing to ever meet face-to-face with Montanans. Neither one of them have ever hosted a fully open public meeting where any Montanan can […]
