We all pay utility bills and we all need to care about the election for Public Service Commissioner (PSC). Here’s why: Montana grants monopoly status to certain utilities who in turn agree to be regulated by the PSC. What is not well known is the PSC’s members essentially are hand-picked by the very utility companies […]

Kathleen Williams should be a clear choice in the race for Montana’s at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Among her basic Montana values, she believes that all Americans deserve access to quality, affordable health care. As a Montana state legislator, Kathleen worked hard to find common interests in the pursuit of improving our […]

Using classic advertising techniques, Donald Trump has moved the goalposts on what it means to be American and co-opted the symbol of the American flag for his own fascistic ends. By speaking to people whose identities already include a love for America and who carry a half-intuited nostalgia for a greatness that never actually was, […]

Here are some comparisons: The […]

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has created a unique opportunity to return America to her proper place as the world leader in research and innovation in health care. To get there, we must have policymakers who believe in the immediate and long-term benefits of such investments. In my past job as CEO of a […]

Montana’s secretary of state has many jobs. The most important is ensuring the integrity of our election process. Bryce Bennett understands this far better than his opponent. He’s committed to making our elections safe and open to all Montanans. The current secretary of state, Corey Stapleton, has failed Montanans. Lines at courthouses on Election Day […]

I’m worried about the cost of health care and the continual increases in insurance premiums, especially with a pandemic going on. We have Matt Rosendale, whose campaign is funded by super PACS and billionaires, to thank for that. It’s no wonder he supports a tax plan that sacrificed affordable health care for hard-working Americans to […]
