Montana is called the Treasure State for a reason. God gave this state timber, minerals, oil, gas, good land, and hardworking people. And, for generations, Montanans used those resources to build towns, support schools, raise families, and create good lives. But things have changed. Montana still has timber, coal, oil, gas, gold, silver, copper, palladium,…

Why District 69 needs a dependable conservative vote in Helena People ask me all the time, “What are you going to do for our county when you get to Helena?” That’s a fair question. But the honest answer is this: no one legislator goes to Helena and fixes big problems alone. A legislator can make…

For the record: I am 100% opposed to geoengineering and weather modification of any kind – including cloud seeding. No exceptions.

Jesus spoke often about leadership, justice, authority, and accountability. His ministry wasn’t detached from civic life-it confronted corruption, challenged entrenched power, and taught what righteous governance looks like. Jesus regularly engaged the Sadducees, the…

While House District 69 Representative Ken Walsh sponsored HB 680, it passed with overwhelming support from the Legislature, making it a mistake shared by many that never should have happened. HB 680 changes how Montana treats two of its most important historic places: Virginia City and Nevada City. These towns are not just state-owned property.…
