According to the New York Times, 300 individual billionaires spent more than $3 billion during the 2024 election cycle. Keep those figures in mind as you consider I-194 and its potential impact on Montana values. The Montana Chamber of Commerce, the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce, and the Billings Chamber of Commerce have taken a clear […]

Recently, liberal activists on the Montana Supreme Court abandoned common sense, deciding that biological reality is subordinate to personal feeling. The high court threw out Montana’s law that prohibits residents from changing the sex on their identification documents, effectively blocking the state’s effort to firmly define sex as binary.

What should I come across in my recent visit to the Flathead but a glossy flyer proclaiming, “Courtenay Sprunger will take away your guns!

I have […]

The high cost of living is the number one issue facing Americans. In Montana, energy and water utility costs are up, housing is unaffordable, gas is skyrocketing, food prices keep increasing, healthcare costs are unmanageable, etc. Some say that data centers can provide high-paying jobs to alleviate this affordability crisis. This is a false solution. […]

In agriculture, we are in the challenging position of trying to thread the needle between preserving our way of life and supporting the growth our communities have been dreaming of for years. As a rancher myself, I have seen firsthand the friction between our traditional Montana values of hard work, […]
