Josh Seckinger completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Seckinger's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|Josh is a 15-year Gallatin Valley resident, a professional fly fishing guide, and a passionate, pragmatic progressive. Born in Florida and raised in Wisconsin, Josh moved to the Gallatin Valley at 23 after attending the University of Wisconsin—Madison. After struggling to find his place for the first five years he was here, Josh found his place rowing drift boats down some of the state's most cherished rivers: the Yellowstone, the Madison, and the Smith.
Josh is running because he thinks it is important for people who live and work here to be represented by someone who also lives and works here - so that everyone can stay here.

Keeping Public Lands in Public Hands
A willingness to listen, learn, empathize, and understand that people apply their lived experiences to politics. With that in mind, there must be an attempt to represent all constituents, not just the majority that elected them.
As a fishing guide, I have spent the past decade developing working relationships with people of all types and political leanings, be they clients, outfitters, or fellow guides. Being able to talk to any member of the Legislature and find the common ground that we all share would be extremely helpful in the current political environment.

|Josh Seckinger chose to make his home in Montana 11 years ago. Florida born and Wisconsin raised, Josh settled in the Gallatin Valley at the age of 23 and has worked a variety of jobs: seismic mapping exploration, food delivery, and working for an environmental lawyer. For the past five years, Josh has worked as a fly-fishing guide on some of Montana's most precious resources, including the Gallatin, Smith, Madison, and Yellowstone rivers.
Frequent travel and a love of the outdoors helped him learn about Montana, while his engaging and extroverted personality helped him learn about its people. Josh has gained a unique perspective about life in Montana, the needs and wants of everyday working Montanans, and the best path forward for the state, based on years of simply talking, listening, and engaging with the people of Big Sky Country. For Josh, one thing is abundantly clear: Montanans believe we must ensure the last best place stays that way.

Campaign finance summary

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.
