A Note from Llew

The North Central Montana Political Landscape

 

Dear Friends,


Many of you have known me for years—the Jones family has farmed and ranched in this area since 1896. I've had the honor of serving you in the Montana House and Senate for more than 20 years, and I currently represent House District 18. Now I'm running for Senate District 9, and I'd be grateful for your vote.


This is truly home country for me. Our family ranch spans Teton, Pondera, and Toole Counties. I’m also a partner in Frontline Ag Solutions, our local John Deere dealership; Courtesy Ford; and Pure Bliss Cycles—businesses that proudly serve our region. In the Legislature, I Chair the House Appropriations Committee and serve on the Education Appropriations Committee.


I created this website to give you a clear picture of my track record. For long-time friends, it’s a walk down memory lane, with plenty of “hot topics” from over the years and a record of putting constituents first. For those just getting to know me, it’s an introduction to my approach: I vote 100% of the time to the best of my ability with the interests of my district in mind—an approach that has me aligned with party leadership about 90% of the time. That’s how a representative republic should work. My goal has always been to keep Montana a “solutions state” and to leave D.C.’s gridlock and chaos where it belongs—in D.C.


Take some time to review my work, meet my family, see how others have evaluated my efforts, and learn more about my philosophy. I believe you’ll see why I’m confident I can earn your support.


Thank you,
Llew Jones
