This election is about more than one seat in Helena. It’s about whether Lake County sends bold new conservative leadership to fight for our future. That’s why I’m supporting Finley Warden for House District 13.

Finley brings a strong conservative policy background and legislative experience, along with the energy and the fresh perspective of a new generation of leadership. He has already shown he is willing to stand up for what’s right. His work as a citizen advocate for better schools has prompted state leaders to introduce bills for the upcoming legislative session.

That leadership is why Finley has earned the endorsement of both the Montana State and Lake County Republican parties, along with respected state and local leaders, including Montana Senate President Matt Regier, Montana House Speaker Pro Tempore Katie Zolnikov, State Sen. Greg Hertz, Rep. Tracy Sharp, former Rep. Joe Read and Ronan City Councilman Micah Robertson.

Like many of my neighbors, I’m tired of seeing the same defenders of the status quo in Helena. Government does not need another caretaker. It needs leaders willing to challenge it, rethink it and make it better. That is Finley.

Finley understands that the trajectory of our state must change and that urgent action is needed so that we don’t continue down the broken paths of Washington and California. He brings fresh ideas, energy and a clear focus on smaller government, lower taxes and making Montana more affordable. Leadership like that strengthens our future for every generation, and when an opportunity to support a capable new leader comes along, we should embrace it.

On June 2, House District 13 has the chance to elect a bold new conservative leader ready to work hard, challenge the status quo and fight for Lake County. I hope you’ll vote for Finley Warden, the true conservative choice.
