Priority Issues:

I oppose any plan or legislation that facilitates the sale or transfer of public lands.

I support a reasonable infrastructure bill that updates and constructs needed facilities while providing employment.

I support the transition to renewable energy resources while meeting the requirements for upgrades of existing coal-fired generation units.

I am a fiscally conservative democrat.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I grew tired of complaining about the current legislators and rather than continue to do so I would run for election and, if elected, try to do better for the State of Montana.
