Mike Cooney, presently Lieutenant Governor, has had years of experience helping Montana and its citizens. He is now running for the very important job of Governor. The problem is that he has an uphill battle against dark outside money that is pouring in from the White House. Cooney supports his campaign with small grass roots donations, against the millions coming from Gianforte and Daines, and Rosendale. All three of these men have big money and big money support. Their agenda has always been to take away public lands and sell to the highest bidders. They say they will cut taxes, yes, to the very wealthy and middle class Americans will pay the bill, losing programs like Medicare and Medicaid, healthcare programs put in place by Governor Bullock to help hospitals and citizens of Montana to get the care they need. They will cut important programs like schools and money for farmers and small business. But the rich will get another huge tax cut. Gianforte says he won’t install a state sales tax, he has tried to put a state sales tax in the past. They seem to be OK with making up false ads against Mike Cooney, don’t fall for it. Lying seems to be OK with this administration. Save Montana for Montanans, vote for honesty and integrity. We need Mike Cooney for our governor.
