I am starting my list for Christmas early. I want: a president who has empathy for average Americans’ daily struggles; a president who works the job, not craves attention; a president who listens to experts in whatever field of study, science or information is at issue; a president who puts the lives of our fighting men […]

I received the following statements in an email from Sen. Daines campaign. “BREAKING: Montana family has Trump 2020 (flag) burned while children are asleep. “The liberal mob isn’t just inciting violence and riots in cities across America – it’s happening right here in Montana.” Although I agree that it is a criminal act to take […]

The status of U.S. women, varying by race, ethnicity and other diversities, have made progress since the 19th Amendment, yet the gender and racial gaps in 21st century have only expanded.

Seldom are choices between candidates so different. Raph Graybill, fifth generation Montanan, served as chief legal counsel to Gov. Bullock, clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals and successfully fought against dark money in Montana politics, believes it’s the job of attorney general to fiercely and proactively fight for the interest of all Montanans regardless […]

Don’t listen to the slogans about less government, more jobs. We need sensible government more now than ever. We need sensible people who are willing to put in the hard work to find solutions that work for all of us. Such a person exists in Collette Campbell who is running for House District 67. I […]

Gov. Steve Bullock put the well-being of Montanans ahead of politics by locking down the state this spring and mandating masks this summer. In his directive, he recognized how “Montanans answered the call to mask up – a call that came from our hospitals, nurses, and doctors, our vibrant small business community, our frontline workers, […]

As independent voter I support candidates who maintain independence from party. Matt Rosendale staunchly asserts lockstep allegiance to party line. Although recognizing private property rights, State Land Board member Rosendale stuck to party position opposing the extensively planned, well-vetted conservation easement for an eastern Montana family ranch, which enhances the ranch and benefits both owners […]
