Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a 4th generation Montanan who was born and raised in Great Falls, I eventually left Montana to seek opportunities as a PhD chemist. Virtual work emerged from the pandemic, allowing me to continue in my career as a remote worker and come back to Montana. Great Falls is my first home, and now is my time to serve the community that gave me those initial opportunities in life.

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!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

* 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.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Like many Montanans, my frustration for national and 2-party politics has reached an all time high. Montana should be leading the nation in advocating for local governance over centralization and a State Legislature controlled by the people - not a party.

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.

House District 22 is shaping to be the most competitive in Montana as a three way race, and I am the ONLY candidate advocating for reigning in the Federal Government.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, definitely! As a Libertarian I will be sponsoring or supporting bi-partisan or tri-partisan legislation. Without a party influencing my legislative actions, I can work with colleagues on an issue-by-issue basis. This is the most effective use of my time, as I can prioritize only issues important to my constituents.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I believe compromise is noble and should be pursued. However, it should not be used as an excuse to bring extreme ideas just as ammunition to be struck down.

I also do not believe in compromising values for the sake of a party.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
