I am running for the state House in the Stevensville/Florence district because I don't want Montana to turn into a terrible place like the blue states on the West Coast. I want to keep Montana, Montana. I have been an attorney for 31 years. I wrote my first law over 30 years ago as a minimum-wage intern for a conservative think tank. I was a legislative affairs person for a Republican Attorney General. I am very involved in my community, serving, for example, as the Stevensville High School football announcer.
- I would represent the residents of House District 88. That means the public policy choices of district residents are what I will carry out in the Legislature - not my personal policy choices. However, the residents of House District 88 are largely conservative Republicans, so my policy choices and the district's are almost always the same.
- I wrote my first law over 30 years ago and have written several more since then. I am very active in conservative legal causes. I know how lawmaking works and, specifically, how to draft laws so they work.
- The three issues I will focus my legislative service on are: (1) property tax reform, (2) protecting our kids from the extremists, and (3) restoring the checks and balances of a state Supreme Court that is a co-equal branch of state government, not a supreme legislative body that picks and chooses which laws it wants to keep.
(1) Smaller government, (2) protecting our children, (3) improving public education, and (4) judicial reforms.
Integrity, knowledge of the issues and the legislative process, hard work, and humility. A Representative in the House of Representatives represents his or her constituents. That's the job. The Legislature is not a platform for a representative to espouse his or her own agenda - it's to represent people.
I am very good at public policy and writing legislation. I am also a very good listener.
Faithfully represent the residents of the district.
Being thought of as a hard working and very effective legislator who treated everyone with respect and helped pass very good laws.
Watergate. I was seven.
Picking strawberries at age 11. I had it for a summer.
The Bible. It is the inerrant word of God.
Growing up poor but then being comfortable financially.
The Governor faithfully executes the laws the Legislature passes. The Governor also suggests legislation. The Governor must balance the needs and wants of very diverse interests.
Housing costs and low wages, social decline, and a healthy entrepreneurial climate.
It depends. Some experience understanding a legislator's role of representing his or her district is good, but too much government "inside baseball" information can lead to a legislator feeling like part of government instead of a representative to it.
Absolutely. I get along people well - even those with whom I disagree. I find it very easy to disagree with people but simultaneously stick to my principles and have a pleasant relationship with them.
Absolutely not. I enjoy the people of Stevensville/Florence and living here.
A Korean war veteran who, after property tax increases, is worried about being taxed out of his home.
The Legislature must oversee the use of emergency powers and grant them very sparingly.
Make rodeo the state sport of Montana. (The bill was my idea.)
Governor Gianforte
(1) Judiciary and (2) Local Government

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
