I know candidates for Governor Rick Hill and Steve Bullock. Neither is nearly as bad a guy as their negative advertising makes them out to be. Both are good men, and we will do well by electing either one of them.

Of the two, though, I think Rick Hill would be the most effective chief executive of our state. His common sense conservatism and balanced judgment are a good fit for Montana people at this time in our history. State government will be more productive, less political and more at peace with itself if we choose him as our next Governor. He is a genuine no nonsense, no gimmicks leader. He enjoys solving problems, and he’s good at it.

The Rick Hill I personally know will be fair with competing interests and firm with fanatics. He will make a success of his administration in a positive way. We will be happy with our choice if we elect him.
