Gianforte/Robinson On Land Endorsement From Montana Chamber Of Commerce

Press Release

Bozeman businessman and tech entrepreneur Greg Gianforte landed an important endorsement in his run for Governor from the non-partisan Montana Chamber of Commerce on Friday. The Montana Chamber of Commerce has endorsed both Democrats and Republicans in recent elections. This year, the chamber is throwing their powerful weight behind Bozeman businessman Greg Gianforte, and Hi Line rancher Lesley Robinson for Governor and Lt. Governor.

GIANFORTE: "There is only one job creator in this race. There is only one businessman in this race. I want to thank the chamber for their endorsement, and as someone who started a business here, and raised all four of my kids here- I look forward to being a strong advocate for business- especially small business- here in Montana."

Gianforte is the founder of RightNow Technologies. He started the company out of his house in Bozeman, and created over 500 jobs in Montana. The average Montana salary at RightNow was nearly $90,000 a year. Oracle purchased RightNow in 2012, and continues to expand the company's footprint in Montana.

The Chamber of Commerce joined a growing list of organizations and individuals endorsing the Gianforte/Robinson ticket including the Montana Farm Bureau, the Montana Realtors Association, the Montana Building Industry Association, the National Rifle Association, several former Montana governors and statewide officials, and others.
