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 […]

I first met Brian Popiel at a coffee group hosted by Jeff Krauss where we enthusiastically discussed important issues of the city and county. Brian caught my attention not because of his moderate and thought-provoking opinions but because of his ability to listen and ask great questions. But the most important quality he possesses is […]

Two-hundred and forty-four years of fair elections, 244 years of a peaceful transfer of power. Now we have a man, and a party who is doing everything in their power to end that? Look at the man who is responsible for this: a wall paid for by Mexicans…I think not; opening up his tax records […]

He wants your vote because Bullock has cool sunglasses. Really. Because Bullock has a health care plan, something the entire Republican Party hasn’t been able to, in years and years, come up with. Hilarious! Because Bullock will (let’s scare the old folks now) replace your Medicare with a government run program. Steve, Medicare is a […]

The thing about Chris Pope, a candidate for Bozeman’s Senate District 31, is that he is first and foremost an effective and collaborative community leader. For 20+ years I have watched Chris grow a successful small business from scratch and on top of that work countless hours as a civic leader who always puts a […]

I am Kelly Kortum and I am running for the Montana Legislature in HD65, which covers north and west Bozeman. For the first half of my life, I grew up in rural Ekalaka. The more recent half I’ve spent learning and working here in Bozeman. Montana has given me so much, and I wish to […]

Everyone must vote to end Trump’s misdeeds Born and raised 71 years in Bozeman. Raised to tell the truth, be kind to others and animals, don’t be a bully, a cheat or steal. Things taught to young children to mold them into responsible, truthful adults. Trump missed these childhood lessons. Republicans today don’t value these […]
