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.

At a time when we are coping with a pandemic, concerns over women’s reproductive rights, affordable healthcare, racial injustice and access to public lands, I am appalled at Greg Gianforte’s ads for governor that only seem concerned with his NRA rating and the further promulgation of guns. This is not what I call leadership! I […]

I believe that character counts! Character traits such as honesty, thoughtfulness, humility, empathy for others, work ethics and ethical personal behavior are among those traits that are common to those who are respected and rewarded and recognized in successful businesses and professions. Politicians should reflect the same character traits that are expected in the rest […]

Less taxes sounds like a great platform, but it does have consequences: less services. There will be less money for public schools that are the heart and soul of Montana’s communities. Will this mean higher taxes to make up the difference? There will be less money for the Montana University System? Will this mean higher […]

Montanans’ right to hunt and camp on our majestic lands, as well as our right to fish in our pristine rivers is in jeopardy. We live in the bosom of nature and as American citizens it should be our prerogative to enjoy it without the threat of lawsuits from the wealthy. Sen. Steve Daines doesn’t […]

Are you tired of uncertainty, doubt and divisiveness? Are you searching for integrity and truth? I have good news for you: Ed Stafman is running for election in HD62 and he is a breath of fresh air. Heaven knows we need fresh air these days, and good character, and a willingness to be guided by science […]
