Using a proven, pro-growth playbook to expand opportunities for Montanans
It was an honor and privilege to address the Montana State House in Helena. I focused on how we can deliver greater opportunities for more Montanans.
Nationally, President Trump and Republican lawmakers have been focused on a pro-growth agenda. As a result of our policies, our economy is booming, growing at its fastest pace in more than 10 years. Unemployment recently hit a 49-year low. Workers’ wages and benefits are growing at the fastest rate in a decade with lower-income workers benefiting the most.
But there’s work to do in Montana. Unfortunately, our state ranks near the bottom in wages, hardworking families struggle to make ends meet, and there aren’t enough workers.
There is a path forward to greater prosperity and opportunity in Montana. We should be bold and take that path, borrowing a page from the proven, pro-growth playbook.
