Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney personifies Montana. He has dedicated his life to supporting Montana families. As legislator, secretary of state, and executive director of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies he has championed women by supporting women’s privacy and protecting their right to access equitable and affordable health care. Cooney believes in pay equity and has proposed […]

While the top-of-the ballot races tend to get the most attention during an election, I want to highlight the race for clerk of district court. This is the first time in over a decade that Gallatin County has seen more than one candidate vying for this seat, and I urge everybody to vote for Sandy […]

He knew about the dangers of covid and lied to the American people to protect the stock market, leading to the deaths of over 200,000 Americans. He called military personnel and veterans “suckers” and “losers.” He’s a tax cheat and owes hundreds of millions to unknown entities. He’s trying to steal another term by making […]

I encourage people living in Senate District 31 to vote for Chris Pope. Chris is a two-term representative in the Montana House of Representatives who is running for the Montana Senate. Having founded, run, and grown a small main street business with his wife, Maddy, Chris knows the needs, challenges, and successes of small businesses. […]

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.

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 […]
