Issue Positions

- "As a degree-holder in biology with years of experience in the medical field, my stance on reproductive rights is shaped by both academic and professional knowledge and compassionate humanity. Working in a hospital in the Philippines, I witnessed the devastating consequences of restrictive abortion laws, where women faced life-threatening situations and the loss of both maternal and fetal lives. Reflecting on this experience, I echo the words of Pope Francis, who wisely asked, âWho am I to judge?â It is not the governmentâs role to pry into our private medical records or to make moral decisions about womenâs healthcare. I firmly believe that women are perfectly capable of making these deeply personal decisions for themselves, and as a candidate for public office, I am committed to opposing legislation that would limit a womanâs right to choose and actively supporting measures that codify this fundamental right once and for all. Everyone deserves the autonomy to make decisions about our own bodies, and it is my pledge to stand firm in ensuring that this right is protected and upheld." (mingforcongress.com)

- "I advocate for investment in renewable energy to ensure Montana remains at the forefront of innovation and isnât left behind in the transition to cleaner sources of power, I commend the brave young people who took their case for better environmental stewardship all the way to the Montana Supreme Court and won, and I support incentivizing lower emissions and promoting environmentally friendly practices to reduce our carbon footprint and safeguard our planet for future generations."

- "As a dedicated hunter and proud gun owner who has spent hundreds of hours hunting with my son and dogs on Montanaâs public lands and cherishing the tradition of harvesting wild game for family meals, I firmly believe that we must protect our Second Amendment rights â not just for recreation, but for protection. Rural Montanans know better than anyone how long it can take for emergency services to reach us when the worst happens â and how important it is that we retain the right to defend ourselves, our families, and our property. These rights are deeply woven into the fabric of Montanaâs culture, fostering a sense of connection to our land and heritage that cannot and should not be broken. It is essential to recognize that with these rights come responsibilities, as those of us who were raised with a healthy respect for the power of a firearm instinctively understand. We must strike a balance between preserving our constitutional freedoms and enacting sensible measures to prevent firearms from falling into the hands of individuals who pose a threat to public safety. I advocate for increased support and funding for firearm safety programs for all ages, and increased access to mental health intervention programs to solve the root cause of violence before it has a chance to harm our communities. With these two policies in place, we can protect both our cherished traditions and the well-being of our communities." (mingforcongress.com)
- "As an advocate for affordable and high-quality healthcare with years of experience working in the medical field, I strongly support policies that prioritize both affordability and excellence in Montanaâs healthcare system. The worrying closures of nursing homes, rural hospitals, and the lack of mental healthcare access across the state highlight the critical need for immediate action. We can no longer afford to procrastinate on this issue; we must work together to ensure access to essential services in underserved areas and to expand Medicare prescription drug coverage right now. These actions are essential to alleviate financial burdens on our elderly and at-risk populations, and on the taxpayers who are footing the bill for expensive and preventable emergency services in the absence of preventative care."
