Question 1:
Please briefly provide the following information: place (town or county and state) of birth, age as of election day 2024, place (town or county) of permanent residency, occupation/employer, and education. How do these things and your other life experiences qualify you to be an effective legislator?
Question 2:
What do you consider to be the most pressing issues facing Montana heading into the 2025 session and what legislation would you propose and/or support to address these issues?
Question 3:
Many Montanans are concerned about rising residential property taxes, which primarily fund local government services such as schools, counties and city/town programs but are calculated through a system set by the Legislature. What changes to the state tax system, if any, would you support to provide property tax relief while maintaining sufficient revenue for essential services?
Question 4:
Considering the state’s role in mental and physical health care services, especially in helping cover the costs of services available to lower-income Montanans, what additional steps, if any, do you believe the Legislature should take to enhance health care access and promote Montanans’ health?
Question 5:
Many education leaders are concerned that the state’s existing school funding formula isn’t keeping up with the costs of educating students. What proposals, if any, would you support to ensure adequate and sustainable long-term funding is available for public pre-K–12, college/university, and vocational education programs?
I was born in Forsyth, MT. I am 37 years old. I am a resident of Gallatin County for over 13 years now. I run a leadership development program for MSU students. My job is teaching young people how to make tangible positive change in local and state public policy making bodies and I am a lifelong Montanan. I am very familiar with the inner workings of these systems and the needs of neighbors.
Some of the most pressing issues are the rising costs of housing, the associated costs of property taxes, and infrastructure. I would support fair taxation of all Montanans to alleviate these issues.
Support fair taxation as outlined in the proposed legislation from the Democratic Legislative leadership.
Renew the Montana Medicaid legislation and work to further expand and improve those programs. I have spoken to members of my district and have heard from the people who would be effected if these programs are discontinued.
The Montana Constitution guarantees every Montana a quality education and we have not always lived up to that standard. I would be open to considering alternative forms of taxation which would best fit individual communities in Montana.
