For The Montana We Love, And The Future We Deserve
Montana — the “Last Best Place” — is slipping away from the very people who make it great. Neighbors are being priced out of their homes, schools are underfunded, families are one diagnosis away from financial ruin, and we are losing too many lives to a suicide crisis that demands more action.
A thriving Montana is built on its people — and that means stronger schools, affordable healthcare, attainable housing, living wages, and prioritized mental health services, not as competing priorities, but as one unified investment in our future. I am running for House District 7 because I refuse to watch the Montana way of life disappear without a fight. The next generation deserves to live, work, and thrive in the state we love.

Kalispell, MT median housing listing costs is around $600,000. To be able to afford this, a Montanan would have to make $67-100 an hour. Montana minimum wage is $10.85. The Montana dream is continuing to be out of reach for most working individuals and families.
The Issues...
Affordability
Montana is in the midst of a crisis where a lack of attainable housing and a failure to invest in the local workforce are forcing residents to leave their hometowns in search of a more affordable life.
Education
Addressing our schools education budget is a non-negotiable priority for Montana’s future. Schools are far more than just classrooms; they serve as a vital safety net where children can grow into healthy, happy, and well-adjusted individuals.
Mental Health Services
For the past 40 years Montana has ranked in the top 5 for suicide rates in the nation. In 2023, Montana’s youth suicide rate was triple the national average. It's vital we address this crisis now.
Affordable Healthcare
Every Montanan has a right to affordable healthcare and deserves protection from the fear of financial instability when seeking medical care.
