MT Governor's Race: Tim Fox to Release Conservation & Sportsmens Strategy
- Thread starter Ben Lamb
- Start date
Considering those looking @ MT Governor for 2020, Looks like a good set Cooney (Born in MT, grad from UM, '89 Sec State MT+) or (R) Fox (Born in MT, grad from UM, '13 AG MT+) holds a strong potential to be the righteous ones for the MT mud slinging contest to begin...
I'm not a fan of Gianforte s hoping he is not the R pick.
@Sytes - pretty much there. I'm hosting a fundraiser for Mike Cooney on Sunday in Helena, if you want to come down for that too. 
Got this email from Jon Knokey today. It's refreshing to see a candidate dedicate an entire day to these issues rather than just pay it lip service with some pre-approved special interest talking points. I worked with Jon when he was in the Legislature & he's legit. Tim Fox has been a solid supporter of access during his time as Attorney General, with only one exception that I know of (Which Gov Bullock/Raph Graybill won on):

Also, note the location of the FAS they're releasing this plan at. Dudes have some stones.

Amazing.
He's a unique, "Out of State" non-native of Montana as expressed by Bullock. The G is a gift unto himself.
Hopefully it's Fox and Cooney. As you know, I've voted Schweitzer and Bullock over the course of Gov's of recent. Advise Cooney (as his host) to dump the extreme D baggage and he will collect the same D votes as well as some in the middle <more> Indi and possible Repub votes...
Today's polarized partisan games, I'm vehemently opposed to the current DNC extreme themes though want to vote MT for Public lands and not opposed to Cooney if the Jersey G plays against Cooney. If Fox though... well, to the best MT Gov candidate and maybe not a selection for the lesser of two evils though it seems after all the mud slinging, that how it appears.
I hope Fox starts building his war chest.
I'll be there. Hunters would be fortunate to have Fox be the nominee on the R ticket. He and Knokey have reached out to me on many occasions to ask what resident hunters have as a priority. I sense they are sincere in this effort and view outdoor issues with a different perspective than past R candidates for Governor.

Tim Fox’s opponent in the primary is sending a somewhat different message as it pertains to these things

Gianforte picks Juras as running mate
Republican governor candidate and U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte named Kristen Juras as his running mate at an event at the Pub Station here Sunday evening.

I am looking forward to a good alternative to Gianforte. I hope Fox does well.

I sat down with Knokey after he was elected to the State House and he is on board with the issues us hunters care about. He proved to be a reasonable person in the Legislature. Fox is reasonable too, although nobody can agree 100% with any candidate.
Juras ran for Supreme Court and was shown to be an stream access disaster. Gianforte has the same mindset, even trying to snuff an easement on his property using my "good buddy" Wittich (sarcasm) to bring the lawsuit against FWP. I can't believe he picked her of all people.
I'll be voting for Fox in the Primary and I think if any of you left-leaning people have an independent streak in you should vote [for Fox on] the R ballot in the primary.

For those that didn't get the reference the FAS is 400 yards from where Gianforte lives.

The campaign just released their strategy paper. It's worth the read.

Hmmm... Robert's Rules says no campaign events on a powder day. See you at the R-Bar though.

R-Bar was great! Saw a few Hunt Talkers including our fearless leader and talked with a lot of people.
Here's something you probably don't know about Fox's running mate Jon Knokey. Jon literally wrote the book on Teddy Roosevelt after stumbling across a trove of unpublished material while attending Harvard.

I listened to this yesterday and thought I would post it here. It is a Montana Lowdown Podcast episode with Tim Fox.
I enjoyed it. When it comes to his side of the isle, I think he would be the best choice for governor. He comes across as more level headed than the typical politician.
