As I write this, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility for the opportunity to represent you in the Montana House of Representatives.

I’m glad we weren’t driving back from Billings on the ice in the winds! Before you think about suffering a bit of jealousy, the weather was not the usual heat we’ve had...
