Campaign site

“Housing costs in the state of Montana have grown at dangerously high rates. It is our goal to support proposals that will make housing an option for all Montana citizens: a housing tax credit for married couples and assistance for Montanan first-time buyers.” (Trenin Bayless campaign website)
“Montanan culture is unique in the United States and should be preserved, even in the face of torrents of out-of-state transplants moving in. The vibrant culture of the state of Montana may be maintained with friendly state and local government that's supportive regarding our unique cultural and business enterprises. The people of the state of Montana should not be culturally excluded from their own homes.” (Trenin Bayless campaign website)
“The well-known terrorist organization AntiFa has made unfounded accusations against my character and threatened my family. They illegitimately stated that I am secretly training a white-supremacist militia and arming them with 3D printed firearms.” (Trenin Bayless campaign website)

Voter Privacy & Data Protection: “Montanans immensely value their privacy. They would be very upset about being in a national voter list, especially if it's including driver's license information and very sensitive information. I would believe that the vast majority of Montanans would be up in arms to know that this was just done, and not only just done, but done without their knowledge.” (Montana Free Press)
