About Steve

What Matters Most

Montanans are feeling the squeeze. Property taxes, housing market, and lack of industry . . . people are hungry for the good old days: whole families, moms, dads, well-rounded lives—in short, the American Dream. We want it back, and we want it back fast.

Key Issues

Taxes—Property taxes, income taxes . . . plain and simple, they’re all too high.

Industry—It’s time to open the flood gates and create more high-paying jobs and cut red tape.

Government spending—It’s out of control. We need a balanced budget.

Education—Montanans want more School Choice—Every child deserves their perfect educational fit. Families’ money should go where there child goes to school. We want men out of girls’ sports, period, end of story.

Background

I was born in Eugene Oregon. My mother met my stepfather when I was 7 years old. My stepfather is from Montana, and he got us home to Montana when I was 17. I chased work, all over, but the Treasure State will always be my home.

I married a girl from the Hi-Line, we have raised 5 kids, 4 boys, and 1 girl. We have attended the same church for 20 years. I am born again saved by the Grace of God. Jesus is my savior.

Through grit, blood, sweat, tears, and the blessings from God I’ve lived a better life than I ever dreamed, and I want to help my neighbors say the same.

My Home and Community

I believe in community, I have donated to many charitable causes that invest right back into my community. I employed many families over the years. Those jobs we have created truly contribute to the health of our district. I do business with local businesses—I’d rather pay more to keep it local then go with a corporate chain. I love to help people earn tangible success. My goal is to help create tools and paths so people can help themselves. 

Politics

I am conservative first, and a Republican second. Good fences make good neighbors.
