The platform
Where I stand
Housing comes first. If people can’t afford to live here, nothing else holds together.
Priority one
Put affordability first
A home in the Flathead runs about $646,000 — about 8.5 times what a family here earns. Teachers, nurses, deputies, tradespeople and the kids raised here are all running the same numbers and coming up short.
What a family earns here should be enough for a home here.
Power and privacy
Cameras that record where you go. Data centers that want Montana’s cheap power and tax breaks. I’ll fight both.
More homes for locals, not sprawl for billionaires
Homes for locals closer to town. Landowners can sell the right to build elsewhere and keep their land.
Show up and tell the truth
I’ll meet you where you are. Weekly Neighborhood Office Hours across the valley — no appointment, no drive to Kalispell.
Seniors and aging in place
A disciplined budget that doesn’t squeeze a fixed income, and the meals, rides and in-home checks seniors count on.
An economy that works in January, not just July
The trades and steady, year-round jobs. County contracts to local businesses first.
A reliable partner for our towns
Combine services where combining is cheaper, and get the county and our towns pointed the same direction on where new homes go.
Keeping property taxes in check
Hold the line on county spending, steer relief to seniors and working families, and push Helena for a fairer system.
Roads, bridges, and infrastructure
Maintain what we’ve got before chasing new projects. Chase every state and federal dollar. Don’t forget the rural roads.
Public safety and emergency services
Fund the Sheriff and 911 like the priority they are, and back the fire and EMS districts voters pay for themselves.
Healthcare and mental health within reach
Partner with providers, back rural EMS, and keep mental health calls from landing on one deputy.
Get involved
A Flathead we can afford to call home.
