“The MT State Legislature should focus its resources on providing the most basic services and providing those services well. I am referring to quality and affordable education, healthcare, and housing, a working economy for all, equal access to Montana's iconic public lands and wildlife, and a tax system that is reasonable and fair.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“It is critical this session to focus on building a coalition of legislative members who have an eye toward improving the services we provide with the taxes we collect. These days there are too many members of the Republican party who aim to dismantle critical government services and our only means of defense is building a majority of legislators who will combat these member's wrongheaded efforts.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
