- Calls for better management of public lands to improve multiple use, public access and stewardship of natural resources.[2]
Where they stand

- Economy & JobsSays monetary reform is the most important step on housing and cost of living, and supports ending the Federal Reserve.[1]
- Elections & DemocracySupports federal legislation to undo Citizens United and the 2012 ruling that struck down Montana's 1912 Corrupt Practices Act by limiting campaign contributions to people eligible to vote.[1]
