Natural Resources
Montana is known for its natural beauty and wildlife, and our natural resources and public lands must be protected for the enjoyment of generations to come. As a lifelong outdoorsman, I will work with my colleagues to find responsible solutions that preserve my constituents’ access to this fundamentally American resource.
As a former Montana Land Board Commissioner, I was proud to help manage and conserve our state lands, including playing a key role in the creation of the Big Snowy Mountains Wildlife Management Area.
I am proud to serve on the House Committee on Natural Resources, where I continue working to support responsible land management, protect Montana’s outdoor heritage, strengthen rural communities, and ensure future generations can continue to enjoy the freedoms and opportunities our public lands provide.
