“I grew up in Bozeman, I graduated from MSU, and now I work for Gallatin County and represent House District 59 in the legislature. Montana is my home , but in recent years it has been hard to recognize.”
(Katie Fire Thunder campaign website) “I believe in a Montana where everyone has their basic needs met, where we steward the lands that take care of us, and where everyone pitches in and pays their fare share. I am bringing a new generation of leadership to Helena to make this vision a reality.”
(Katie Fire Thunder campaign website) “Property taxes shouldn’t push people out of their homes: homeowners have seen huge jumps in property taxes over the past several years which is straining budgets. We should not be forcing homeowners and renters to shoulder and unfair amount of our state’s tax burden.”

“I am a true independent, running as a Republican. I stand for rights for all, small government, personal liberty in all matters and the end to extremist agendas from both sides.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “Extremism from both parties is out of control. Liberty is the answer and it consists of less government, fewer regulations and more respect for each individual's choices. If elected, I will likely anger both the left and the right with my message of moderation, civility and kindness.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “As Montana's population increases we must be focused on protecting the reasons people move here: liberty, the environment, quality of life and minimal government intervention.”
