Issue Position: Economic Growth

Issue Position

Growing Montana's economy is one of the most pressing issues in Montana, and the best way to grow the economy and create jobs is through the development of our natural resources. Developing Montana's natural resources will lead to economic prosperity, and Northeastern Montana has led the state in this regard. We have a thriving oil industry here. As a result, jobs are abundant and local economies are thriving. I want to ensure this continues in our area and the rest of the state. Look at North Dakota and Wyoming: they are pro-resource development, encouraging these industries and not punishing them with excessive taxes and regulations. These states consistently run budget surpluses and have adequate funding. This is the kind of economic policy I want implemented in Helena.
