This upcoming November, Montanans will be faced with crucial election choices that will significantly impact our shared future. On Election Day, Nov. 5, we will have the chance to select between two distinct paths for our beloved Treasure State.
One path follows the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration, leading to open borders, rising grocery prices, increasing energy costs, higher interest rates, and a lack of affordable housing. The reality is that “Bidenomics” is estimated to cost the average Montana household an additional $11,400.00 per year.
The alternative path controls excessive spending, preserves more money in the bank accounts of Montana families, reinstates respect for our nation’s borders and laws, and maintains affordability in Montana, especially for young individuals just starting out. This approach aligns with the Republican party’s principles and is the path I endorse as the Republican nominee for Montana state auditor.

Being a fourth-generation Montanan, I have personally experienced the exceptional quality of life in Big Sky Country — from our people and public lands to our rich history of natural resource development and our inclusive and respectful culture. Even growing up in Dillon, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to safeguarding Montana’s future, which led me to become a land use and business attorney. My professional career has been devoted to advocating for working individuals.
As a small business owner, I have learned that government can either protect the public’s interests or impede their prosperity. Serving as the current President of the Montana PSC, I am aware that $6.5 trillion in new federal spending over the past three years poses a threat to the economic future of young Montanans.
The path of economic freedom and genuine free-market competition is the definitive way to achieve economic growth and prosperity. As Auditor, I will promote policies that enhance affordability by making insurance coverage more accessible and affordable for all. Additionally, I aim to detect and prosecute individuals who deceive vulnerable seniors and to secure maximum funding for Montana’s public schools as a State Land Board member.
My colleague Troy Downing has left a strong foundation in the state auditor’s office. I am committed to building upon that successful legacy, and I respectfully request your vote in November to collaboratively pave a path towards the improvement of all Montanans.
