About "Butch"
Working to protect agriculture, property rights, and the future of rural Montana
My goal is to promote opportunity, encourage economic growth, and help ensure that future generations can continue to live, work, and raise their families right here in Montana.

Protecting Ranchlands & Rural Economics
Protecting working ranchlands and rural communities from large outside land acquisitions that impact Montana agriculture and local economics.
Water Resources & Infrastructure
Supporting responsible water management, healthy fisheries, and infrastructure improvements that protect Montana's water future
Modernizing the Endangered Species Act
Montana’s natural resources must be managed with common sense and long-term responsibility. Water, land, and energy decisions should support both growth and agriculture.
Soil Health & Rotational Grazing
Strong jobs, local businesses, and opportunities for young people are what keep small towns alive. Butch believes rural Montana needs a future where the next generation can come home and stay.
