It is my honor to serve the citizens of my hometown of Billings in the 69th Montana Legislature in 2025. I will again be serving on the House Education Committee, the House Local Government Committee, and as Vice Chairman of the House Tax Committee.
​
​I am proud to be the only Montana legislator in 2023 to earn a
100% rating for Conservative Excellence from the
American Conservative Union (click the title to learn more
about them).
​
The Montana Chamber of Commerce awarded me the Titans of
Business Award for my conservative votes in the 2023 session.
​
I intend to be a strong conservative voice for my constituents and all the citizens of Montana. I will fight for fair and meaningful property tax reform, support for our public safety workers, growth in educational programs that train our students and our existing labor force for effective and inclusive career and job training, protection for school choice for all parents and students, and defense of our religious and democratic freedoms.
