Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Jacob Bachmeier (D)

Fighting for access to an affordable housing market.

Cutting the red tape on mom-and-pop businesses to ensure a thriving community.

Getting more Montanans into higher paying jobs through workforce development opportunities.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jacob Bachmeier (D)

What Montanans want is reasonable. We want the dignity of a hard day's work and a good job that pays enough to raise a family. We want affordable and accessible healthcare, quality public education, and workforce training opportunities that get people to work. We want the assurance that if we do our best, that if we work hard, we can have a roof over our head, food in our bellies, and a reasonable shot at a dignified retirement. This is what I hear from voters. I hear you. I understand. And I will fight to make sure that every Montanan who wants to spend the rest of their life here has the means to do so. Let’s work together to fight for the people and places we love the most.
