I’m proud to support Erin Farris-Olsen for Senate District 41 here in Helena, a district in which I reside.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Erin on issues important to Montana, including water policy, where I’ve seen firsthand her ability to bring diverse voices to the table and find practical, durable solutions. Erin listens carefully, respects differing viewpoints, and works collaboratively to protect the resources that sustain our communities and economy.

Erin and I also share something deeply personal: we’re both first-generation college graduates. We know what that opportunity can mean for a family, and we understand the responsibility that comes with giving back to the communities that made that opportunity possible. Erin carries that perspective into her public service every day.

As an attorney, she understands the importance of judicial integrity and constitutional protections. I know she will work to defend Montana’s constitutional environmental protections and ensure that our right to a clean and healthful environment remains more than just words on paper.

This race matters, and we need someone who listens, shows up, and will work hard to protect our freedoms and our future. Please join me in voting for Erin Farris-Olsen for SD 41.
