A new voice for House District 5

Cost of living and property values continue to climb in Northwest Montana and elsewhere. We can't let longtime residents and our youth (our family, friends, and neighbors!) be pushed out by continued irresponsible development.

Our shared inheritance is under attack. Threats come from greedy out-of-state corporations, climatic changes that are increasingly obvious, and too many places in between. We must promote sustainable management and ecological integrity of our living landscape: our home.

I hear from my neighbors and others across Montana how difficult or expensive it is to receive adequate medical care and insurance coverage. These are essential need that must be met.

The Flathead Valley's transportation infrastructure is falling behind. Our lack of public transit and multi-use paths makes our streets dangerous and inaccessible for motorists and pedestrians alike.
