Montana producers depend on access to global markets, and I will push for trade policies that open doors not close them while holding trading partners accountable. We have a lot of work ahead of us to rebuild markets the knee-jerk tariffs destroyed in Montana. Learn more
We need to end the harmful tariffs that have cut off export markets and triggered retaliation against farmers in Montana and across the country. Learn more

We need to end the practice of residential homes being bought up by Wall Street Hedge Funds and corporations. Our families and our future shouldn’t be used to pad their bottom lines. We need Montanan names on Montana’s homes. Learn more
We can support this federally by investing in utility expansion (roads, water, electric, septic) into new areas for development. We also need to incentivize contractors to focus on lower to middle income homes that every day Montanans want to move into - and can afford. Learn more
Expand Federal First-Time-Homebuyer Tax Credits Ensure that our next generation of Montanans are equipped with opportunities to stay in their communities and build their families. Learn more
