WHY I'M RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION
I'm running for re-election to continue representing Evergreen and North Kalispell because my neighbors deserve a homegrown representative who'll focus on the district's most critical legislative work - community safety, jobs & business growth, property tax reduction, and strengthening infrastructure.
I'm asking for your continued trust and vote to ensure House District 8 and Montana remain a place where middle-class trades families, like mine growing up, continue to thrive. Decisions are made by those who show up, and I remain committed to going to the mat for the people of Evergreen and north Kalispell.
MEET TONY
Born and raised in Evergreen, Montana will always be my home. Small businesses, fire halls, schools, and hardworking, self-reliant residents make up the pillars of our community, and I have carried those Montana values with me from my earliest days growing up on Solberg Drive.
Since graduating from Flathead High and The University of Montana, I have established myself as an active and dedicated community member. Professionally, I own Lone Pine Media. Named after my go-to local get-a-way spot, Lone Pine is a Kalispell-based digital content development agency focused on helping local and regional small businesses and nonprofits expand their reach and customer base.
Since January 2023, I have represented the people of Evergreen and north Kalispell in the Montana House of Representatives.
Decisions are made by those who show up. I have been showing up and involved in our community for over two decades. Beyond my legislative service, I am a board member for:
Evergreen School District Community Council
Flathead County Economic Development Authority
Flathead County Sheriff's Citizens' Advisory Board
2023 LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSES
During my freshman session, sixteen pieces of legislation I carried were passed and signed into law. That legislation focused on community safety, jobs and business growth, and strengthening infrastructure. I also supported the Governor's Red Tape Relief Initiative to cut burdensome red tape and make government more accessible and efficient. My proudest accomplishment from the 2023 session is securing funding for the Evergreen Sidewalk Project phase II. As a student, I walked those cow trails along Highway 2, and it's time for Evergreen kids to have safe routes to school.
PRIORITIES
Community Safety
Investing in First Responders and Law Enforcement is more crucial than ever. By prioritizing resources, we will reduce crime, protect kids, and ensure community safety.
Jobs
Investing in workforce training programs and ensuring Montana's regulatory environment remains friendly to businesses and entrepreneurs creating high-paying jobs and increased opportunities for our students upon graduating
Strengthening Infrastructure
Funding is secured for the first phase of Reserve Drive's expansion. However, the project's second and more costly phase still needs funding. Continued investment in road improvements, bridges, wastewater treatment facilities, and broadband internet increases economic opportunities across Big Sky Country.
POSITION ON ISSUES
Education
Second Amendment
Pro-Life
Educating our kids is essential. We must prepare our kids for life, work, and continued success. Access to quality education will benefit our community and small businesses for years to come.
I believe in the Second Amendment and will continue defending our constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
I am Pro-Life and believe in the sanctity of human life.
Small & Accountable Government
I support limited government that is accountable, transparent, and open to taxpayers.
Taxation
We need to reduce the tax burden and enact a fair and simple tax code promoting fiscal responsibility of taxpayers' money.
Less Regulation
I will continue to build on the work of the Governor's Red Tape Relief Initiative and eliminate harmful regulations for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
HOUSE DISTRICT 8 AT A GLANCE
Evergreen and North Kalispell is rooted in established neighborhoods and centered on the Montana value of community. House District 8 is home to the Flathead Valley's largest employers and manufacturers and is anchored by the area's best schools, First Responders, and medical facilities. Surrounded by rivers, streams, and agricultural land, Evergreen and north Kalispell have experienced much of our area's recent growth challenges. Yet, they are positioned for incredible opportunities through strategic investments in the coming years.
