Montanans who are lovers of the outdoors and wildlife would do well to note the greenwashing by our president and the politicians who support him. President Trump has called himself the greatest environmentalist since Teddy Roosevelt. This is the president who has, for example, drastically shrunk the size of national monuments and nominated a BLM chief […]

Most folks are busy with commitments to family, work and community, so it’s difficult to stay informed about politics. But the choices we make have very real consequences. There are some clear choices to be made in the upcoming election. You can choose to have your taxpayer dollars support quality public education or see that […]

As fall approaches and we see Hoot-owl restrictions lifted on our favorite fishing sites, I’d like to share an important statement on fish and climate that may have been overlooked in this busy political time. The American Fisheries Society (AFS) is the world’s oldest and largest fisheries science society and includes fisheries scientists who study […]

My name is Chris Pope, and I am honored to be the Democratic candidate for Bozeman’s Senate District 31, a seat previously held by Sen. Mike Phillips, who terms out following 14 years of excellent public service in both the state House and Senate. As a current, two-term state legislator, I am committed to bringing […]

President Trump is terrified that Americans alone will decide the next election, so he conspires with Russia’s disinformation war on America while sabotaging the post office and suing Montana and other states to suppress mail voting.

From small business owner to elected government official, he has proven to be a dedicated leader in Bozeman. He is gentle yet tenacious, and always approachable.

Steve Daines sent me a mailer yesterday. Said because he is the son of a veteran, he knows “firsthand the sacrifices our veterans have made.” It is with this that Daines irretrievably loses any chance for my vote. I spent a year in the field artillery with the American Division in Vietnam. The people who […]

Sen. Daines and Rep. Gianforte are proud to stand with President Trump. So are other Republicans up and down the ballot in this state. Maybe they admire his disdain for and refusal to pay taxes. Or maybe they admire the way he has demeaned and degraded the women and men who have so honorably served […]
