As a longtime rancher and legislator, protecting rural Montanans from legislation that infringes upon economic liberties and promotes government interference is my top priority. This is why I vehemently oppose the Biden administration’s new tailpipe emissions rule. The rule dictates that by 2032, at least 56% of new vehicle sales must be Electric Vehicles (EVs). This will severely hurt Montana ranchers, farmers, and workers by increasing personal expenditures to comply with the EPA mandate. Requiring Montana families to purchase electric c...

One of five sisters, Kendel Hofer, Williston, ND, had years of duck hunting under her belt before she could even lift a shotgun.

Her grandfather, Charles Nehring, made hunting a family priority. Both he and his wife, Persis, were excellent shots, competition winning even for his part. Her grandmother encouraged the girls...

My main concern is regarding CI 128. This is worded in such a way that it sounds so concerning about women and their health and reproductive rights. It is attempting to change the Montana Constitution to forever state that Abortion is OK with absolutely NO limits. Also, there cannot be any charges brought against anyone for any reason for doing the abortion-no matter what the outcome may be. It also allows minors to get abortions without their parents even knowing anything about it. We absolutely do NOT want ANY of that in our Montana...
