WHY I’M RUNNING
Montana Families Are Paying More and Getting Less
Just like you, I’m tired of it.
Every year, government asks for more money.
More taxes.
More fees.
More control.
But are your roads better?
Are your schools stronger?
Is health care easier to get?
Is your family less squeezed?
For too many Montana families, the answer is no.
That’s why I’m running.
Because we can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and pretend the results will change.
There are better answers.
We can cut waste without throwing good workers out of their jobs.
We can stop letting government sit on money while families are struggling.
We can get more dollars into classrooms without raising taxes.
We can protect public lands while keeping them open and useful for the people who actually live here.
But that won’t happen unless we send people to Helena with the backbone to say no to the same old excuses.
I’m not running because I want a title.
I’m running because Montana families deserve better than higher bills, weaker services, and politicians who act like your money belongs to them.
This is your home.
Your paycheck.
Your child’s future.
Your Montana.
And it’s worth fighting for.

On The Issues
Improving our Economy
Without a doubt reducing regulation and taxes on businesses are proven to improve the local and state economies. Achieving a robust economy would let Montanans achieve the long-held dream of having good paying jobs so our children can stay in Montana rather than seeking jobs in other states.
Tax Policy
Like many of you I have concerns about how your local government uses and abuses Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds and Urban Renewal Districts (URDs). These taxing schemes result in homeowners carrying an ever-increasing tax burden. I believe we need to put restrictions on these schemes and require voter approval for any URD extension.
Election Security
The only way to ensure our individual freedom is with election security. I was part of the Missoula Election Integrity Project which found many anomalies in the Missoula County 2020 elections.
Education
I believe parents should be the primary voice in their child’s education. The draconian mask and remote learning mandates imposed by some tone-deaf school boards proved to be detrimental to our kids learning and mental health. We can and must do better by our kids.
