We continue our candidates for the AG’s seat this week with Pam Bucy, a Montana native, from the thriving nontropolis of Townsend, MT. Her family has been farmers, miners, and she’s the first lawyer. With a story about soft hands, tough spines, smart heads and big hearts, you can find a lot to like about Pam. With the primary just a week away, it’s a great chance to get to know another of the amazing candidates the Democrats have fielded for one of the most important offices in our state.

Would you want to be in politics your entire adult life? Not many would, and it’s sometimes seen as a bad thing, as one does begin to wonder if you’re in it to help the world or to help yourself. I, too, wondered the same thing about Jesse, but as you’ll find out, he’s just a really cool guy. His motivations for politics are humble and honest, and while he may not be your cup of tea, you can’t fault the guy for trying his best.

This week’s guest is the Executive Director of the Montana GOP, Bowen Greenwood. He’s been around politics all his life, and while he no longer thinks he can solve all the world’s issues in one fell swoop, he’s still in it to change things for the better.

This week, meet Lewis & Clark County Commissioner Derek Brown, who got into politics because he saw things going wrong and wanted to make a change. What things? And did he fix them? Well, you’ll just have to listen and find out. Enjoy the show!

Well, the show is a tad shorter than most, because Franke Wilmer was kind enough to carve out a quick half-hour after the Rally to Stop The War On Women just this last Saturday to join us on the show. Franke has an amazing story, having worked as a waitress and in several other service-industry roles for 16 years, while finishing her undergraduate and graduate studies, and is now a professor at MSU. Her work in foreign policy and human rights is outstanding and her goal is to lead us to a better place.

Diane Smith is a relatively new Montanan who has found her home in Whitefish. Her love of Montana, and her understanding of rural America makes her an ideal candidate for the House of Representatives. She’s built several businesses in Montana, and been successful in making entrepreneurial thinking the way of the land. You’ll enjoy meeting someone who brings a fresh look to an old problem and wants to make things better.

Our first National candidate, Robert Stutz is running for Montana’s lone seat in the House of Representatives. He’s worked in government in several different roles, in local, regional, national and international roles. He was most recently working for the Montana legislature during the last term, which solidified his desire to make things better.

Mike has been a representative for two terms, and he’s one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. His skills at working with both sides of the aisle are amazing, and while you may not agree with everything he supports, his thinking is sound and smart. He’s got experience in the military, in technology, and lives in rural Montana. He currently represents HD 84, and is running for re-election.

Ken Miller is running for governor of Montana and has been in politics since the early 1990s. He and his wife have started and worked, and sometimes sold, various successful businesses in and around Laurel, and the reason he got into politics is both related to his business ventures, and is so brilliantly Montanan you can’t help but like him. Ken is also the first Republican that has been on the show, and as you can hear, I’m not out to get anyone. Enjoy the show, and listen to someone who really is in this for the right reasons. We need more people like Ken in politics!

Dennis Taylor has been in politics both as a political activist and as a bureaucrat for over 40 years. The amazing stories he can tell are great. You’ll enjoy learning about all he’s been involved with, what’s coming up, and how you can make a difference. Enjoy the show!
