First elected to the Montana House of Representatives in 2000, I served as Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Telecommunications for 4 years as well as being elected the first Chairman of the joint House / Senate Interim Committee on Energy and Telecommunications. During that time I sponsored legislation reviving the mining permit for the Bull Mountain #1 Mine which is now the largest employer in Musselshell County. Other legislation I sponsored include key revisions of environmental laws regarding coal mine permitting and reclamation, major facility siting of power lines, moving court jurisdiction of environmental law suites out of Helena, and exclusions from the Montana Environmental Policy Act for leasing of state owned mineral resources.

As a State Representative, I am one of a small hand full of legislators to maintain a 100% voting record with the Montana Chamber of Commerce along with top voting records from the NFIB, Montana Family Foundation and Montana Right to Life, Stock Growers, Farm Bureau, and other pro-business and pro-family organizations. I have a strong legislative record of working for families, jobs, property rights, and Montana Values.

I will appreciate your support and vote in this primary election.

Please call, email, or write if I can be of assistance.

Thanks,

Alan
