LETTER: Greg Gianforte for governor

From his first job out of law school, Montana’s current governor has been a government bureaucrat. Even his brief stint in private practice was for a Washington, D.C., firm. Making a living off our hard-earned tax dollars is all he knows.

Not surprising that under his reign, government has become Montana’s No. 1 employer. It does not require high-level math to figure out government jobs are always a net financial loss. The more government jobs, the more taxes required from private sector individuals to pay those employees’ wages. And as government bureaucracy grows, so does corruption.

Furthermore, Gov. Bullock vetoed multiple bills that passed with bipartisan support designed to promote the sanctity of human life and our right to keep and bear arms. Contrast big government pro- abortion bureaucrat Bullock with Greg Gianforte: Mr. Gianforte has worked hard and been highly successful in the private sector, has created jobs, strongly supports the Second Amendment and the right to life from conception to natural death.

To me the choice is obvious: Greg Gianforte as our next governor, to mitigate Montana’s decay championed by the current administration. —Annie Bukacek, Bigfork
