The MT State Legislature should focus its resources on providing the most basic services and providing those services well. I am referring to quality and affordable education, healthcare, and housing, a working economy for all, equal access to Montana's iconic public lands and wildlife, and a tax system that is reasonable and fair.

It is critical this session to focus on building a coalition of legislative members who have an eye toward improving the services we provide with the taxes we collect. These days there are too many members of the Republican party who aim to dismantle critical government services and our only means of defense is building a majority of legislators who will combat these member's wrongheaded efforts.

I will be focusing on alleviating the tax burden on property owners and income taxes and start addressing the outdated tax system in Montana. This will not only provide relief for property owners, but this will also help first-time home buyers and our renters since homeowners pass the tax increases to their renters by increasing their monthly rent payments.
Public Education, consumer protection, housing affordability, public lands, protecting our justice system from politicization, fighting to protect women's reproductive rights, fighting for a fair and balanced tax system, and job creation.
