As someone working to advance conservation, climate and energy issues in Montana for over 30 years, I am pleased to support Ed Stafman’s election to the Montana Legislature from House District 62.

I support Colette Campbell, candidate to represent the people of HD67, Belgrade area, in the Montana Legislature. Colette is a teacher, has worked with at-risk children and is an avid defender of working-class Montanans. Colette’s opponent is Jedidiah Hinkle who lost his bid for re-election in the 2018 run for Senate District 32 and has […]

What are Gianforte, Daines doing to help women? This Big Sky headline, “Daines and Gianforte seeking ban of abortion bill,” raised my ire!

Meanwhile, he throws gasoline on […]

Pope has experience, attitude to best serve SD31 When I think of Chris Pope, I think of a hard-working, smart businessman that is kind and will work tirelessly on cost effective solutions to our most pressing issues. In the last session, he voted for Medicaid expansion and extension, which has benefitted thousands of Montanans and […]

Everyone running for office says they’ll protect public lands. Raph Graybill actually does it. Graybill defended the Habitat Montana program from extremists on the Land Board and won a landmark case protecting public access and the property rights of landowners.
