Montana Governor Gives His Take on Ballot Initiatives

Just say no. Say no to all of them. That's not just my take, that's what Montana Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT) had to say as well when it comes to the constitutional initiatives that will appear on your ballot this Fall.

Hats off to Victoria Eavis and Carly Graf with the Lee Newspapers, who had a very good writeup detailing the millions in out of state dollars that are flowing into the state from radical Left wing sources to try and mess with our elections and our state constitution.

NO ON CI-126

Gov. Gianforte: "I'm voting no on the ranked choice voting. Here's why. Basically, this would do away with partisan primaries. It would be a jungle primary with the top four vote getters going on to the general election. Alaska tried this. Now they're trying to get rid of it. It's just- you end up with ridiculous results."

NO ON CI-127

It basically is pushed by the same backers as CI-126 as a related measure.

NO ON CI-128

Gov. Gianforte: "It's poorly worded. It's misleading. It says that once a baby reaches viability, you need someone in the medical profession to approve the abortion. But the way it's worded, it could be the secretary at Planned Parenthood who authorizes the abortion for any reason. To put something in the Montana constitution that would authorize abortion up through and including the moment of birth- it's just not the right thing. I believe life is precious. It should be protected. Reasonable people can disagree on when you draw the line, but when the baby is viable we should not be performing abortions."

Gov. Gianforte also highlighted how Montana's wage growth is outpacing inflation, his pro-jobs policies, and his A rating from the NRA. He addressed mental health issues, emphasizing a $300 million investment, and efforts to reduce social media use in schools. The governor also promoted his youth hunting story contest and the upcoming governor's conference on aging.
