Meet our leadership committee! We come from different political viewpoints and different towns, but we have an important thing in common: we care about the needs of Montana’s families.
Jeanne is a CPA, tireless advocate, and engaged citizen in Bozeman, fighting to strengthen trust in the face of the fear and division our political parties promote. She’s worked to elect candidates who center working-class issues, and feels increasingly disenfranchised by the two-party system.
Timaree is a working-class single mom who has felt the affordability crisis creep into her life, year after year. As a Catholic, single-income voter, she’s felt that she’s never had real choices to elect public servants who represent her values and interests.
Erik is a Missoula-based manufactured home resident and organizer. He’s voted across the political spectrum since his early 20s, including Democrats, Republicans, third-party candidates, independents, and write-ins. However, he’s rarely, if ever, been able to enthusiastically check any candidate’s box, as the needs of working-class people have not been the priority of the moneyed interests.
Nathanael manages a pawn shop in Bozeman and shares his trailer home with two dogs. Every day, he feels the pain of inaction by our elected officials who prioritize political maneuvering over pragmatic problem-solving. Whether it’s foregoing healthy food, delaying healthcare needs, or fearing the next rent increase, he feels we need public servants ready to tackle issues that are crushing working Montanans.
Andrew manages a local laundromat in Missoula, works in his community as a roofer, and organizes with his fellow manufactured home residents. He’s watched as both parties failed to deliver for working people, meaning he often gravitated to independent or third parties.
