Supports empowering Montana's workforce, including safe conditions, fair pay, and bargaining rights, and opposes "right-to-work" laws, pension access restrictions, and cuts to essential services, viewing such measures as detrimental to the state's well-being.

Supports providing resources and frameworks to aid Montanans who undertake the significant risk of starting new businesses, emphasizing the crucial role of small, independent business owners in strengthening Montana's economy.

- Your State Representative participates in the legislative process at the state level. They are one of 100 members of the Montana House of Representatives. The Montana House of Representatives is the lower house of the Montana State Legislature (the state's lawmaking body).
- Your State Representative drafts laws, approves budgets, has oversight of the state executive branch, and debates and votes on proposed laws.
- In addition to drafting and voting on bills, your State Representative can serve on committees. This is important because many bills can be stalled in committee, preventing them making it to a vote.
- Your State Representative is responsible for representing your interests. They also are responsible for helping you navigate the state's services and bringing back resources to your district.
- State Representatives are elected to a 2-year term. Individuals can serve no more than 8 years in a 16-year period.
