- We need to invest in our local businesses and infrastructure to increase economic opportunity in Eastern Montana.
- Our children are our future, which is why we need to increase state investment in our local schools.
- We need to ensure that our public lands remain protected and accessible to locals and sportsmen so that our children enjoy them as much as we have.
"Much has been given us, and much will rightfully be expected of us. We have duties to others and to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations of the earth, and we must behave and be seen as a people with such responsibilities."I believe this quote can be applied to Montana. We have been given much, and much is expected from us.
