LETTER: Vote Keith Regier

We have known Keith Regier as our representative for HD 3 and were always so glad to see his name on the ballot. He may be termed out for the House now, but it’s wonderful that he is running for the Senate. Regier may not have huge name recognition like Don “K” has on the back of every license plate, but his purposeful and consistent demeanor in representing our state is a record we should all be proud of.

Have you ever been 'stalked' by an ad? Here's why

Having recently moved to Montana, it’s become evident that I must explore this magical place. The mountains, lakes, trails and valleys beckon me, so naturally, I’ve had to buy hiking boots, bear spray, snowshoes, jackets, bike gear as well as various other items to help me “properly” get around.
