Jane Weber has experience working with the Forest Service, where she operated a chainsaw to manage tree stands and constructed jackleg fences. She has managed the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, elevating its status to a national destination. Weber served as a Cascade County Commissioner for ten years, during which she played a role in enhancing Disaster and Emergency Services, supporting various community services, and promoting economic diversification through agricultural programs and military base missions.

Jane Weber served as a Cascade County Commissioner for ten years. During her tenure, she was a member of the City-County Health Board, Library Board, Black Eagle Superfund Cleanup Committee, Center for Mental Health and Gateway Community Services Boards (now Many Rivers Whole Health), and the Missouri-Madison River Fund. 

The candidate's website says, "They chose not to adjust tax formulas... Instead, homeowners will shoulder a disproportionate share of the tax burden, while tax breaks for out-of-state corporate interests will cost Montana over $170 million per year."

Plans to implement revised wage withholding guidelines and tax forms following Montana's tax system overhaul, which includes reduced income tax rates effective January 1, 2024, aligning state tax rates with federal filing status.

Opposes tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, criticizes Montana Legislature for insufficient rebates, and advocates for fair taxation to fund housing, childcare, education, and healthcare. Estimates $170 million annual loss from current policy.

The candidate's website says, "All Montanans deserve the chance to prosper – with good paying jobs, health insurance, and a safe roof over their heads. Likewise, our community needs to prosper with robust businesses and a vibrant downtown."

Said, "Northwestern Energy will be paying less while we pay more. People earning $650,000 or more will pay proportionately less in income tax while we pay more... These cuts are unfair, and fail to help regular Montanans... We can do better."

Believes the 2023 Legislature mismanaged state funds, advocating for investment in future generations rather than spending on non-essential items, despite a budget surplus.

The candidate's website says, "Weber plans to focus on enhancing Montanans’ opportunity for economic prosperity through property tax and housing reforms..."

The candidate's website says, "In recent years, Weber has been active in the Great Falls Chamber of Commerce Business Advocacy... She has served as a member of the Downtown Development Partnership promoting economic development and downtown improvements..."

Supports fair taxation; concerned about high taxes, increasing living costs, and insufficient childcare and affordable housing based on community feedback during the Luminaria Walk.

Said, "I joined former Governor Brian Schweitzer and Terry Minow, chair of Big Sky 55+ on October 2nd in our state capital for a rally against unfair taxation. While out-of-state corporations […]"

The candidate's website says, "Since passage, Montana has saved over $27 million by including the working poor in Medicaid. Emergency room visits are down and folks are seeking medical care early, catching health issues before they become serious and allowing them to continue to work and provide for their families."

The candidate's website says, "Medicaid supports over 7,500 Montana jobs, generating $475 million in personal income. Since the passage of Medicaid expansion, no rural hospitals in our state have closed. Renewing this program is the fiscally responsible decision."

The candidate's website says, "Parents shouldn’t agonize about taking their sick child to a pediatrician. Seniors who are not yet eligible for Medicare should be able to seek care and not worry about paying their rent, utility or food bill."

Believes Montanans deserve immediate healthcare access for any issue without financial worry, including accidents, minor illnesses, or potential serious conditions, ensuring no delay or distress over costs for themselves or their children.

The candidate's website says, "When an employer can only provide insurance with high deductibles, premiums and co-pays, one emergency room visit can derail a family’s path out of poverty... It’s unacceptable."

The candidate's website says, "Getting health care when it is needed can be a matter of life and death... This shouldn’t be a problem in the richest country in the history of the world."

Said, "Our local ambulance service is partly funded with public money... so I will work in the Legislature to make this public-private partnership work for Great Falls."

The candidate's website says, "Getting people the behavioral health care they need to stay in the game."

The candidate's website says, "Every child deserves a good public education where they discover their strengths and are given the tools to grow. Local control by parents and school boards is vital."

Said, "Public education is the great equalizer upon which our nation was built. When everyone has a good education, everyone benefits."

Said, "Teachers deserve competitive wages and opportunities for advancement, just like the rest of us. Our state budget for education should reflect what we value: education, our kids, and the future they can envision."

The candidate's website says, "The state government should be a partner with parents, educators, and local school boards in making sure that all kids have safe schools where they can find their strengths, and learn skills for a prosperous future...
