Mission Valley! Two stops, St. Ignatius or Ronan. No scripts. Just straight talk about real issues and how we build something together that actually wins here in Montana.

Single issue ideology and partnerships with special interest consultants and lobbyists doesn’t win in or represent Montana.
Values do. Integrity does. Authenticity does. The ability to build a coalition of Montanans to best represent all Montanans does.

People ask me why healthcare never gets fixed. Here’s how the system actually works.
Insurance & drug companies make huge profits off families & spend 100s of millions lobbying in DC. Lawmakers protect those profits by writing laws that benefit the companies, not the people.

Looking forward to joining the Flathead Democrats and Flathead Democratic Women for a day of community building and conversation with the Flathead community about the work ahead in 2026. Hope to see you there!

These conversations matter.
I’m a dad, a veteran, and a small business owner. I know what it means to worry about healthcare, childcare, and rising costs because I’ve lived it.

I’ve coached enough teams to know this much: You don’t win games from the sidelines. You have to lace up, take the hits, and continue to fight for every inch. It’s the second half. Montana’s future is on the line. We cannot win when our best people stay on the bench.

I’ll be in Frenchtown for a town hall, and I really hope you’ll join us. Over the past eight months, I’ve been traveling across our district to listen, to hear what’s working, what’s not, and what people want from their representative.

Some of us talk about childcare, some know it firsthand. Childcare isn’t a luxury. It’s what keeps families working, small businesses staffed, and communities strong. I built a successful childcare business that served over 9k kids, and as a dad raising kids here in Montana, I feel it too.

I hear this everywhere I go. Families are working hard, doing what they’re supposed to do, and still feeling squeezed. That’s not because people aren’t trying hard enough. It’s because the system isn’t built for them.

Back in Butte this week, talking with people and listening. As an Oredigger, this place matters to me. These conversations happen around real life; work, family, and long days, and they’re honest. That’s how trust gets built.

Zinke promised fiscal responsibility and an end to forever wars. Then he voted for tax cuts for the wealthy, corporate tax breaks that ballooned the debt, and war funding that sent more troops overseas.
That’s not leadership.
That’s a rubber stamp.
Montana deserves better.
It's time for change.

Two full days on the ground in Bozeman: fundraisers, meetings, meet & greets, work sessions, & even a little TLC for the truck.
What mattered most were the face-to-face conversations with working Montanans & the trust that’s built by showing up consistently & listening.

I’m grateful for the folks across Montana who are stepping up and speaking out.
Thank you to Christopher J. Morigeau of Missoula for taking the time to write this letter and share why he’s supporting our campaign. It means a lot to me and my family.

When my daughter Melia was sick, one of her medications cost $10,000 per month.
Even with insurance, we had to fight denial after denial just to get the care she needed. This is what families are up against.

Healthcare should never depend on your job, your zip code, or your bank account.
It should never come down to luck. And it should never put families in debt just for staying alive.

Zinke talks a lot about leadership, but his voting record tells a different story. From opposing extensions of ACA premium subsidies to supporting Medicaid cuts & resisting cost-lowering reforms, his votes have helped keep healthcare expensive & out of reach for Montana families.

After over 32,000 miles driven all across Western Montana, one thing is clear: our healthcare system is broken, and families are being forced to make impossible choices just to get by. I know that because I’ve had to navigate it myself.

Montana doesn’t need another politician who talks at people. It needs leaders who listen.
I’m a Montanan, a dad, a coach, a veteran, and a small business owner, and I want to hear directly from you.
Join me in Butte on Sat, Jan 17 for an honest conversation over a cold one.

Small business owners want to do right by their employees. But skyrocketing healthcare costs make it harder every year to offer coverage, grow, or even stay open.

Friday was spent on the road with stops in St. Regis, Butte, Ennis & Bozeman. We had great conversations in Butte & at Tap Talk at Burnt Tree Brewing, & recorded ButteCast with Bill Foley. Everywhere we went, we met people who were ready for change & ready to be heard.

When it came time to stand up for Montanans, Ryan Zinke failed again. 17 Republicans crossed party lines to do what was right. Ryan Zinke voted no, again. Montana families deserve a representative who will put people over politics. That's why I’m running.

Childcare is the backbone of affordability. When it breaks, families break with it.
The Trump administration just froze $10 BILLION in federal childcare funding over so-called fraud claims.
That should make every parent furious.

Families aren’t struggling because they’re careless.
They’re struggling because housing costs keep rising, groceries cost more every month, and then one medical bill can knock everything over.

Traveling around our district and meeting people is what I love. This time in Stevensville.
Join me for coffee and a relaxed conversation. It’s a chance to get to know me, share what’s on your mind, and be part of the kind of listening that actually moves us forward.
