Opinion: Gov. Gianforte is making Montana stronger every day. It is clear that our governor has the wide ranging respect of Montanans and a clear mandate.

Gov. Greg Gianforte’s leadership is working — and Montanans know it. Since November 2021, Montana has added over 40,000 good-paying jobs, driven by policies that support businesses and working families alike.

Under Gianforte, our state passed the largest tax cut in Montana history, cutting tax rates for Montanans at every income level. He’s proving that conservative, pro-growth policies don’t just work — they help Montanans thrive. Gianforte’s leadership also stands out on the national stage.



While the Biden administration failed to secure the southern border, Montana took action. Gianforte sent the Montana National Guard to Texas to assist with Operation Lone Star, helping curb the deadly flow of fentanyl into our country. That’s leadership that puts America — and Montana — first.

He’s also been busy cutting red tape, making state government more efficient and accountable. And looking ahead, Gianforte is bringing innovation to Montana by enacting DOGE policies right here at the state level, before DOGE was cool. Under the governor’s leadership, more than one-fifth of Montana’s regulations have been repealed or amended.

He’s making government accountable to you: the people of Montana. It’s no wonder a recent Morning Consult survey showed Montanans strongly approve of Gov. Gianforte’s job performance.

The survey showed the governor with a 57% net approval rating. This comes after his 20-point victory over Democrat Ryan Busse in 2024 — carrying 51 of 56 counties. This race was called in a record three minutes.

Gianforte has continued to earn Montanans’ trust through real results. He’s also earned national recognition, having recently been elected vice chair of the Republican Governors Association, where he’ll help support other GOP governors across the country in pushing President Trump’s agenda in the states: cutting income taxes, reducing regulation, and unleashing American energy. As we at the Montana Republican Party put it, Gianforte’s support reflects his commitment to “cutting taxes, supporting small businesses, and protecting our Montana way of life.

” With record-low unemployment, record job and wage growth, and a commitment to conservative values, Gov. Gianforte is making Montana stronger every day. It is clear that our governor has the wide ranging respect of Montanans and a clear mandate.

The MTGOP congratulates him on his broad support and stands behind him to implement his bold agenda..
