Issues that matter
Agriculture & Rural Issues
Butch understands that agriculture is the backbone of rural Montana. Protecting farms, ranches, and the communities built around them is essential to keeping our way of life strong.
Wildlife & Livestock
Wildlife management needs to work for both the land and the people who live on it. Butch supports practical solutions that recognize the challenges faced by ranchers and livestock producers.
Natural Resources & Water
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.
Rural Commuities & Jobs
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.
