CANDIDATE STATEMENT

I believe in the founding values expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, including “the right of the people peaceably to assemble,” and “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” 

I am a knowledgeable scientific researcher and analyst with strong discernment and management skills. I’m a fifth generation Montanan with two engineering degrees from Montana Tech. I have 30 years of broad-ranging work experience as a result of working for both industry and academia. I stand for truth, liberty and freedom and I have a proven record of commitment to community service.

As a citizen advocate, I’ve spent many volunteer hours working to hold government agencies accountable. In the Legislature, I’d support smaller and localized government while promoting a better sense of customer service. 

I’m running for the Montana Legislature because I want to help our government adhere to its baseline belief that power is held by the people. I think government needs to be efficient, effective, and accountable. Government should operate using common sense, with more logic and less fear.

I have the energy and time to give to this job and the attributes I would bring are deeply needed in the legislative process, especially my real-world problem-solving experience.

A vote for me is a vote toward a more transparent government and a vote to protect your Constitutional Rights. My commitment is to work for my fellow citizens and not for special interest. Our government can operate as intended — truly for the people and by the people, with equal justice under rule of law. I’m an experienced and well-informed common-sense problem solver. Please put me to work for you!
