Speaking up for a quiet man

September 22, 2020 by Guest Post

By Joe Gervais, Corvallis

We don’t hear much about Mike Cooney, Montanas Lieutenant Governor, He is running for Governor, but we hear only the nasty ads put out by big money from out of state.

Mike has been Lieutenant Governor of Montana since 2016, prior three terms as Secretary of State. A committed public leader with Steve Bullock, for better jobs, education, expanded Medicaid, healthcare for Montanans.

He has a proven track record of helping small businesses grow, finding ways to increase wages. Increasing funding for education.

He served as director of Montana Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies. He served as Deputy Commissioner for Montana Department of Labor and Industry, and Habitat for Humanity.

He belonged to the Young Mens’ Christian Association, Montana American Legion. He chairs Montana Governor’s Drought and Water Supply Advisory Committee. He is a graduate of Butte High School and has a bachelors degree from the University of Montana. He has worked diligently beside Governor Bullock to help fund hospitals and medical personnel in the fight against Covid. He and Bullock have been to every Indian Reservation in Montana, making sure the Native Americans are tested and healthy.

Don’t turn your back on Mike Cooney just because he isn’t funded by tax payer money and out of state funding…We have to protect Montana from greed and home grown terrorists. Mike Cooney is a good man and the right man for us.

Mike Cooney is a native Montanan who cares about our public lands and our citizens.

Don’t let big money and bullying ads drowned out the fact that Mike Cooney has the experience, and the love of Montana, that we need for the Governor’s office. He will not sell us out.
