The 62nd session of the Montana Legislature is well underway. This has been an exciting and eventful session. It is presenting many challenges and difficult issues; however, I am working hard to represent the people of Billings and HD 52 everyday. I am currently serving on Business and Labor; Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and Natural Resources Committees. Each committee has seen very high profile bills and I have been paying close attention to each of them.

I have been and will continue to support and push for legislation that supports a sound economy, a good education system, and clean water and air. I believe small businesses are the backbone of our state’s economy, by creating and providing jobs. I started and operated a successful small business in Montana for 25 years. I know firsthand what it takes to keep this vital segment of our economy strong and growing. My business experience is needed at the state legislature to make the tough decisions to get our Montana economy moving again.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Billings and Montana.
