Get StartedAgriculture and Ranching are integral to Montana. We must ensure our farmers and ranchers are able to operate in a manner that gives them the flexibility they need. We must label food for country of origin and ensure Montanans know when they are buying Montana made products. Learn more
We must reduce regulations and ensure Montana is a business-friendly state. Small business owners don’t need burdensome regulations holding them down, by improving Montana’s business environment, business owners can create more jobs for all Montanans. Learn more
We need to encourage choice and competition in schools. Government schools are failing, parents and children should have more options. Learn more
We need to detach education funding from property taxes and tie it to natural resources, this model already exists in Wyoming where it provides better pay and education than Montana. Learn more
Funding increases for education need to go directly to classrooms and teachers, not to administration. Our current education system rewards bureaucracy and leaves students and parents behind. Learn more
Montana’s energy and natural resources are second to none. We need to responsibly manage both. By doing so we can maintain what we have and continue to create high paying and meaningful jobs. Learn more
Montana has the best open spaces in the world. Keep them wild, keep them accessible, keep them clean. Learn more
Any land swaps must be approved in the legislature. No more closed-door trades that give away Montana’s pristine areas to developers. Learn more

Our founders didn’t trust government and thus enshrined this right to ensure the people always had recourse in the face of violence and oppression. No citizen must be denied this right. Learn more
State MEDICAID expansion needs to be repealed, and the government needs to get out of healthcare, that’s why it’s expensive in the first place. Families should not have to work burdensome hours just to pay health premiums. Learn more
There should be no hidden costs, patients and family members should never be surprised by the final bill. Learn more
Tax credits should be given for medical premiums. Learn more
Property taxes are a burden to all Montanans and need to be frozen at the 2010 assessment level. Some of the specific items tied to property taxes need to be tied to natural resources instead. Income taxes need to freeze as well. Until our State government can control its spending, Montanans shouldn’t have to deal with constantly rising income taxes. Once spending is under control and preferably reduced, tax increases beyond 1% must go to a vote. Income taxes need to be permanently frozen for households where all income earners have transitioned solely to social security income. Learn more
