I will start with the Ballot Issue, the 'Hospital District Levy.' We as a community need to continue to support our local hospital, and this levy is just a continuation of the current already passed levy. (FOR)

Supreme Court Justice #2

James Brown, hands down! The current justice Ingrid Gustafson has proven that she makes laws out of thin air and does not interpret laws passed by the legislature. Time for her to go!

Supreme Court Justice #1

Mr. Rice is far superior to his opponent, whose backing is by the 'left' wing of the lawyers guild.

County Treasurer, Darcie Hetrick.

County Attorney Adam Larsen, since Joni Oja has withdrawn from the race.

Sheriff Shawn Lesnik

County Clerk & Recorder Cheryl Tomassi

County Commissioner District #2 Mike Goffena

State Representative District 40, I do not have a preference except wholeheartedly NOT endorsing Robert Goffena. He has proven himself to be not fit to be a county commissioner with how he incompetently forced the county to endure a painful, expensive, divisive audit. He couldn't responsibly manage a county budget of several million dollars. How can you expect better results where he is responsible for a 2.7 billion dollar budget at the state level?

State Senator District 20 Barry Usher will uphold the state constitution honorably; he will continue to work to keep taxes in check and support those critical issues in Musselshell County. Barry Usher has served Musselshell County for six years as a state legislator; now, it's time to send him to the senate.

Public Service Commissioner District 1, because another Montana court decided to redraw the PSC redistricting map at the last minute, Musselshell County is now in District 1. So, the two candidates running for District 1 have not spent any time in the county; the incumbent is Republican Randy Pinocci, and his challenger is Republican K. Webb Galbreath.

United State Representative 2nd Congressional District, Matt Rosendale is hands down my choice; Matt does what he says he will do, has solid convictions, and does not compromise with the enemy. His three contenders are all from the dark side and are backed by the democrat party.
