As campaign ends, gratitude and sadness

Thank you to supporters and donors to the Lien for Montana citizen campaign for House District 75 in Montana’s State Legislature. Your activism is the lifeblood of our democracy. The concern in Jefferson County for the future of Medicaid expansion and funding for public schools was notable, and I will continue to lend my voice to these important local issues.

I entered the race to provide voters a choice, and in my congratulatory call to Representative Bertoglio, we agreed that our campaign could be a model of political civility for the entire country.

I summarized my reasons for running as the three P’s. The first was privacy, and voters took partial care of this with the passage of CI-128.  The second was property taxes, and the 2025 Montana Legislature now has a mandate to correct the tax realignment passed two years ago. On public schools, the third, pending Court cases may determine if public funds can be diverted from public education.  I trust the Legislature, and Representative Bertoglio, will continue to have the interests of Montanans at the heart of their deliberations.
