A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE

     These are tough times and will require real leadership as we recover from the recent fiscal crisis. True fiscal conservative action will be required as the choices get fewer and the room for error shrinks.

     My background in actuarial science, work for a major accounting firm, serving the community in our schools, bringing competitive grant funding into northwest Montana and running my own business for over five years has given me the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills needed to address today's challenges.

     I want to use my experience to continue to serve the people of my district.  The people of Montana will provide the new ideas and innovation that will address today's challenges to turn things around.
