Montana State Senate - District 41

Top Issues

Economy We are a nation in crisis. We need to get the government out of the way of the American Dream. We need to deregulate the market and let it thrive. We need people in government who can actually budget. We need people who actually care about the taxpayers, not their own special agendas. Education We should follow in the footsteps of our sister-state Wyoming and do away with homeschool laws that make school administrators, and not parents, the default guardians of children. Economy I want Montana families to be able to afford Montana. I want whole neighborhoods where grandma lives right up the road from the kiddos. I want young adults to be able to find work in their hometowns so they don’t have to go get jobs in Phoenix or Houston and be away from their families. Taxes / Budget Unfortunately today, your property is routinely plundered from you in the form of income and property tax. (By the way, less than 2% of the federal budget goes towards roads.) This needs to end. Income and private property rights should be upheld by our government, not violated to line the pockets of politicians and their ilk. Guns Gun rights are simply property rights. And your property rights are sacred and should not be infringed upon. The Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment because an armed populace is a free populace.
