John Fuller

Party: Republican

Family: Wife (Cynthia) one son (Erik) and 4 grandchildren

Occupation: Retired Teacher

What are the top issues you would like to see addressed in the next legislative session?

The most pressing issues facing our State and Flathead County are problems shared by all freedom loving Americans. Obtainable housing, inflation, rising energy costs and possible shortages, rising crime, increasing mental illness issues such as depression in our children and shocking suicide rates amongst our youth and veterans, the pandemic of drug and alcohol addictions, supply chain shortages, workforce development, excessive Federal encroachment into Montana’s sovereignty, the crushing debt being placed on our children and grandchildren, and the cultural war against our American and Montana values stand out as the most obvious.

Why are you the best choice to represent your district?

My most obvious strengths are my experience in the Legislature, teaching American Government, Economics and History for over 40 years, serving on the Montana Board of Public Education, serving as a field representative for a Montana Congressman and my experience of representing the community as a teacher, coach, elected official, and leadership skills learned while a Non-Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Army (Vietnam). My voting record is self-evident, and my sponsorship and co-sponsorship of successful legislation is also well-recognized.
