Get the hay moving | Opinion
Weather conditions across our great state have been quite inconsistent this year, with some areas of Montana receiving adequate precipitation while other localities seem to have gotten very little, leaving many cattle producers and farmers in a tough spot.

Reader Opinion – A Pending Disaster Designation in Montana: Let’s Get Hay Where it Needs to Go
Weather conditions across our great state have been quite inconsistent this year, with some areas of Montana receiving adequate precipitation while other localities seem to have gotten very little, leaving many cattle producers and farmers in a tough spot.

You don’t get to pick your judge | Brandon Ler Original
In response to the Held v. Montana decision, the Legislature took action this past session to reform the Montana Environmental Policy Act. I was proud to sponsor one of those reforms because MEPA directly impacts how we develop our natural resources, produce energy, and build the infrastructure our state depends on. These changes restored balance and brought clarity and predictability back to a process that had increasingly been used to delay projects and stall progress.

An open invitation to discuss property taxes and more
Montanans expect their elected officials to approach this work with transparency, accountability, and respect for the people we serve. Yet too often, the broader picture of a legislative session gets overshadowed by headlines that highlight a single issue or frame our work through the lens of partisan tension. The reality is, the work in Helena is far broader — and it deserves a more honest, thoughtful conversation.
Strong Leaders Build. Weak Ones Traffic in Fear
Right now, a lot of people are trying to convince Montanans that everything is falling apart. That our best days are behind us. That government can’t work. That the only answer is to dig in, point fingers, and shut every door. I don’t buy it. I make my living building fence and running cattle. Out here, you learn fast that fear is expensive. A scared cow will bolt through a perfectly good fence. A rancher who lets fear talk him into putting off simple repair will eventually lose stock.
Here are Montana Republicans’ legislative priorities | Rep. Brandon Ler
I am humbled and honored to be chosen by my fellow Republican colleagues as the 57th Speaker of the Montana House of Representatives. As I reflect, I will be following in the footsteps of a long and storied list of impactful and consequential Speakers who helped make it possible for Montana to be where she is today. Together with Gov.
Let's focus on the things that matter
I fully believe in and support the First Amendment, giving every American the right to freedom of speech. I also believe in the power of silence, and that you don’t have to attend every fight to which you are invited. As such, I will not respond to my Legislative opponent’s apparent smear campaign against me. As a Legislator, you must become accustomed to people disagreeing with your opinion, and you must take their criticism gracefully.
Brandon Ler: Property taxes and natural resources in Montana
My name is Brandon Ler. I am the seated Representative for House District 35, which covers all of Richland County. Due to recent redistricting, I am running for House District 33, which covers Richland County south of Highway 200 and all of Dawson County. As a State Legislator, the topic I receive the most questions about is by far property taxes. Why are Montanans paying so much in property taxes? What’s behind the recent property tax hikes?
