Gianforte/Robinson Land Endorsement from Montana Realtors

Press Release

Bozeman businessman and tech entrepreneur Greg Gianforte landed another important endorsement in his run for governor. The influential Montana Association of Realtors have joined a growing list of organizations throwing their weight behind Bozeman businessman Greg Gianforte, and Hi Line rancher Lesley Robinson for Governor and Lt. Governor.

Taylor Oldroyd, the CEO of the Montana Association of Realtors, says Gianforte and Robinson have the vision and the experience to help grow our most valuable resource: Montana families.

TAYLOR OLDROYD: "Simply put, Greg Gianforte is not a government insider, he is a businessman of action. Greg has spent his entire career creating jobs in the private sector, and expanding economic opportunity across the great state of Montana. Montanans deserve a partner who understands the challenges working families face today. Greg Gianforte is a fearless fighter who stands ready to advocate for what Montanan's value most."

GIANFORTE: "Montana is 49th in the nation in wages, and our kids have become our most precious export. When we created a successful high tech company in Bozeman, we saw how it improved outcomes across the board. With declining revenues and high wage layoffs all across the state, it's time we get to work in Helena with new leadership. I want to thank the Montana Realtors for joining the team."

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 Montana Association of Realtors join a growing list of organizations and individuals endorsing the Gianforte/Robinson ticket; including the National Rifle Association, the Montana Chamber of Commerce, Montana Farm Bureau, the Montana Bankers Association, the Montana Building Industry Association, the Susan B. Anthony List, several former Montana governors and statewide officials, and others.
