Trump has been piling straw after straw on the proverbial camel’s (that is, our country’s) back. Here are some of the straws that he has been piling on the poor camel. Rolling back restrictions on methane gas emissions and on 100 other environmental regulations. Overseeing the worst economic quarter in over a century. Failing the […]

We have two young, talented and creative people running for office this fall whom I would like to bring your attention. Zach Brown grew up in Bozeman and has an impressive background of education, career and community service: presidential leadership scholar in college, trade policy and immigration work in D.C. as a Truman Albright fellow […]

Montana has only one seat in the House of Representatives. It’s crucial that we elect someone who has a record of consistently fighting for issues that are critical to all Montanans including affordable and effective health care, access to our public lands, an effective public education system and a healthy environment. Kathleen Williams is that […]

I’m really pleased that Zach Brown is running for Gallatin County commissioner. The commission dragged their feet on land use planning until Bozeman and Belgrade dragged them into planning for the triangle area. There is a desperate need to look to what our community will be like in 20 or 30 years. Lack of planning […]

Alice Buckley – running for House District 63 encompassing the university district in south Bozeman – is an exciting, up-and-coming candidate for public office. I have known Alice as a friend and colleague with boundless energy and keen intellect. She cares deeply about her community and brings strong business and leadership skills. I applaud Alice’s […]

Making money isn’t a qualification to be governor Some say Gianforte’s success in business qualifies him to be governor. It doesn’t. The governor’s job is much more difficult. Making money is straightforward. It doesn’t require balancing profits with societal needs, it just means following the rules and maximizing profits. Gianforte’s fortune was made in a […]

I write to support the candidacy of Zach Brown for a seat on the county commission. Zach was a student in my social studies class 18 years ago. His quick mind and ever-present smile made him a bright light. Zach is a people person with social grace and evident compassion and kindness. I stayed in […]

I’d like to thank Gov. Bullock for finding an in-state solution to the COVID-19 testing problem that’s growing across the nation. Recently, Gov. Bullock announced a new partnership with Montana State University. They’ll be taking on some of the testing load that our state’s main testing provider can’t handle with the surge in cases across […]

Enough with the blowhards and broken promises; Kathleen Williams is the person Montana has long needed in Washington. She’s a three-term legislator with a nearly four-decade career solving tough issues and getting results. She is true to Montana—hardworking, independent, and honest. In Congress, she’ll stand up to special interests and partisan gridlock and work as […]

The Great American Outdoors Act passed the House recently, providing full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Greg Gianforte praised its passage. This is ironic since he has opposed full funding of the LWCF every time it’s come up in the House. Thirty-five other House Republicans co-sponsored the bill, a way of showing […]
