Campaign themes
2016
Kotter's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Gun control
- Excerpt: "While generally a federal issue, due to recent action by President Obama, gun control has become an issue that states must address and fight back against."
Land and water rights
- Excerpt: "Under the “Clean Water Rule” (“the rule”), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently put into effect one of the largest (if not THE largest) LAND GRAB in U.S. history."
Infrastructure, jobs, and business
- Excerpt: "Montana ranks 49th (second from the bottom) in the nation, on the scale of highest/lowest wages. As a result, many of Montana’s best and brightest leave, or are forced to leave, to find suitable jobs and incomes."
Catch all
- Excerpt: "...I believe that Montana and the whole of the United States can become greater than they have ever been. All it would take is responsibility, being informed, caring, and good old American hard work."
