- Better Government — Law & Liberty Government should serve the people, not the other way around. I’ll work to restore accountability, uphold constitutional rights, and ensure our laws protect both public safety and individual liberty.
- Better Schools — Education Freedom Parents and students deserve real choices in education. I support school choice, strong local schools, and empowering families — not bureaucrats — to decide what’s best for their children’s future.
- Better Life — Freedom to Live Montanans deserve the freedom to live affordably and independently. I’ll fight to lower taxes, reduce government overreach, and expand opportunity so families can thrive without unnecessary interference.

I represent the product of the public education from Great Falls High, and primary schools. My friends and I played big band tunes at the Moose Lodge, Elk Lodge, and more. As a teenager, I witnessed a community grieve and come together after the 2007 Mercy Flight crash. I now have the privilege to coach speech and debate at CMR High, and I am continually impressed by what our young community has to offer.
There is a community of Great Falls that needs to be tapped into and have their voice heard in the Montana Legislature. Great Falls is not red and blue, its a community of individuals ready to help their neighbor. We need more of that in government!- Local Governance: Separation of powers are key to democracy, and our constitution ensures this through several means. This includes State and Local governments holding the Federal government accountable. I am the only candidate in HD 22 who will champion this fight against the Federal government.
- MT Lifestyle: I chose to run as a Libertarian because I did not want a party to influence my principles. I will protect YOUR lifestyle, not a political party.
- Next Generation Leadership: As a 4th generation Montana, I am eager to tackle the accompanying challenges that come with new residents and innovative technologies with community-driven solutions not legislating more problems.
This is why I am running for Montana State Legislature, to actively fight against the Federal Government. Running as the Libertarian candidate gives me the opportunity to champion this fight and advocate for more local governance without political influence from one of the large national parties.
I also do not believe in compromising values for the sake of a party.
