Top Issues

Defense / Veterans Montana deserves a Senator who takes all of it seriously: protecting our borders. Government Reform Term limits for members of Congress. Wages / Job Benefits Very Montana student should have a pathway to a good-paying job without having to leave the state to find one. Wages / Job Benefits Our young people shouldn't have to leave Montana just to find work, and we need a Senator who will support our local industries and job creation. Housing By cutting the red tape that drives up construction costs, creating tax incentives for workforce housing, pushing back on Wall Street funds buying up single-family homes, and lowering childcare costs for working families, we can open the door once again. Government Reform Age limits for Congress and the Supreme Court. Healthcare Montana seniors worked their whole lives and paid into these programs. Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements — they are earned promises. I will not support cuts to these benefits, full stop. And with commonsense reforms that ask high earners to contribute their fair share, we can strengthen these programs for future generations, too. Government Reform Ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks. Healthcare Rural hospitals from the Hi-Line to the Bitterroot are the lifelines of Montana communities, and they deserve a Senator who will protect them. Immigration We can build an immigration system that is secure, orderly, fair, and actually functional: One that works for Montana's farmers and ranchers who need reliable, legal labor, and that upholds the Constitutional protections that apply to everyone on American soil. Environment / Energy Montana needs a true all-of-the-above energy strategy to keep electricity affordable for families and small businesses, fuel good-paying jobs across the state, and strengthen American energy independence and security. Defense / Veterans A Senator who will fight relentlessly to make sure the VA works, benefits are accessible, and no veteran has to battle bureaucracy to get the care they earned. Government Reform Champion ranked-choice voting and fair redistricting reform that gives voters more power and politicians less reason to perform for the base. Government Reform Support campaign finance transparency so voters know who is funding whom. Government Reform End corporate PAC money flowing to politicians.
