Draft & vote on bills

 I recognize the importance of frequently drafting bills to address the diverse needs of our community. Throughout my term, I am committed to drafting numerous bills that directly respond to the concerns and aspirations of my constituents.

I want to provide three promises regarding my journey drafting legislation.

1) I promise to spend my time wisely and only draft legislation that appeals to the majority of the House. Legislation requires realism.

2) I promise to have numerous bills drafted prior to election day.

3) I promise to not write a word until I have personally spoken to at least 2,000 of the 10,000+ citizens in my district in order to adequately represent our interests.  

Advocacy

Advocacy is the foundation of effective representation. I understand the necessity of interacting with every single business and community within my district. Understanding who I represent on a personal level enables me to draft legislation that benefits their interests successfully while also providing them the opportunity to hold me accountable. Local representation is one of the sole opportunities for many businesses and minority groups to gain representation in their government. I promise to rely upon my interactions with every single group and business within our district regardless of their partisan or ideological identity. I will bridge the divide between the diverse interests within our district. 

Community outreach

Community outreach is essential for a strong and connected community. It builds bridges between representatives who determine the regulations that govern lives and the citizens themselves. 

Engagement in an honest and safe environment can bridge any divide. I promise to not only reach out to as many of you as possible but also make a strong effort to create safe environments for engagement with me and each other. I promise to host numerous events. I want every one of my constituents to feel comfortable holding me accountable when they see fit. In addition to them feeling comfortable, I will provide them routine and direct access to do so in environments where their disagreement is encouraged.

Committee membership

Committee membership is where a collective of appointed house representative gather routinely to debate bills that cover the topic their committee addresses. I promise to work diligently as I utilize my diverse experience studying economics, psychology, polarization, domestic markets, and foreign policy. I will use my expertise to gain committee membership when possible and represent the interests of our district in addition to the state of Montana. I promise to put my partisan alignments to the side and focus exclusively on crafting legislation that benefits the most Montanans at the lowest cost. Committee membership will enable me to build stronger ties with other representatives and encourage others to work alongside us in our efforts to better this state while maintaining its beauty and uniqueness.
